Short sweet novella
Who proofed your writing? Chapter six first paragraph and Chapter seven first paragraph is the same. A couple of misspelled words.
Characters and story sweet.

Well written, but unresolved
The author does a good job of writing and crafted an interesting story. On that basis alone I would have given her five stars. Unfortunately, she succumbed to a popular marketing ploy. This first "book" ends the story at a point where none of the key plot lines have been resolved. So this "book" is more like a sample, giving the reader the first few chapters, enough to get you interested, but ending where if you want ANY resolution you must get the subsequent volume. That forced me to tear off the top two stars.
Don't get me wrong, I love/hate cliff hangers as much as the next person. And, as an author myself, I recognize the value of leaving threads dangling at the end of a book (or story) to tantalize a reader into picking up the sequel. However, I believe that when an author markets something as a "book" it should contain a definite beginning, middle and end, even if some plot lines remain unresolved until the next installment. My problem with this one is that we got a beginning and were headed toward the middle when I hit the last page.

Good Start
The book was a nice read but in some areas you are left saying come on already. But when you get farther in you fall in love.

Sweet
What a sweet cute story. The editing could have been better, and the cover leads you to think it's going to be sexier than it is, but overall a good story.

"Taken By The Cowgirl" by Alice Parker is a short read about a woman named Libby who falls in love with her best friend Tanner, but their relationship falls apart when he leaves for college. She moves on with her life and continued working at his parents ranch where she now manages it. He shows up and shakes up her belief that she has left him in the past. Is their a chance to fix what was once destroyed or will it stay in their memories?
I really liked this short story and hope that there will be more to their story in a future book. There were some minor typos and a editing issue but it did not take away from my enjoyment of the story.

Good
I enjoyed this book as far as it went. I felt it left me hanging,and not complete. I usually like series books, but each book is complete, and the next book keeps the same setting and some of the people, but expands on new or different people to expand on. It gives you a greater or wider feel of the subject. I really don't care to be left completely hanging, wanting to know what happened.

Was disapointed
I wasn't happy with this book at all. When I started out I thought it would been a nice sweet story. But what I found was a woman point of view. To much explaining and not enough talking. Glad to see it was short. I wasted an hour of my day.

Not bad for a short story.
Will have to get the next books in the series to see how it ends. All in all not bad writing so far.

Seriously insulting!!!!
This is as chapter or two from a novel. This is just a tease. Then I read from Amazon that it is cut up even more. No thanks!
