Never Enough
Never Give up.
Life never works out according to your dreams.
Matt Teeson and Tate Matthews long-term friends and partners in a ranch in New Mexico want to live in peace and grow the ranch. George Hamilton wants to become the biggest rancher in New Mexico, he needs Matt’s ranch to achieve this. Julia Hamilton, George’s daughter, has trained as a doctor. She wants to serve the population around Willow Creek. No men, including Matt and George, believe a woman can possibly be a doctor. This dooms her practice from the start. Mangas Mescal the Apache chief wants to preserve his tribe’s lifestyle of living off the land. He sees Tate and George as obstacles to this.
Not everyone will achieve their goals, and not everyone will survive.
Life should be easier. Why can’t everyone get along and not be so greedy? Matt thought as he looked for movement in the sparse yellow grass over the sights of his Winchester.
“How're you doing there, Tate?” He asked of his best friend and partner without taking his eyes off where he had last seen the Apache. “I can’t help you until the Apache have gone.”
Tate grunted. “And I'm going to be no help to you.”

Never Enough by AC Craft is a cross between
Louis L'mour and a sassy clean romance. The author, who chooses to to write under a pseudonym, tries hard to give something to everyone as she includes a lady doctor, a lady wannabe lawyer who manages her own business, an Apache tribe, and a would be land baron who thinks he should own the whole territory. The book is long, but it did not cause me to lose interest. I love the sheriff who is anxious to be fair, the young ranchers who are carving out a place for themselves, and the implication the everyone should try to get along from many of the characters. The character that shines through on many of the townspeople is heartwarming. I would recommend this book to others who enjoy reading about the settling of the American West. I gave it four stars because I felt there were too many typographical errors a good proofreader would have caught.

history in question.
There are several times the author transposes things from the 20th century into this book, that is set in the 19th century. Most notable are the occasions when the sheriff reads the prisoner’s legal rights at the time of arrest. I’ve read many stories of this genre I have never read anything about the 1800s that had a sheriff reading legal rights to a prisoner. So it’s a bit strange to me to read them in this book and a few other things but not worth mentioning here.

First read of Mr. Craft's work
I don't agree with the "fifth grader" description, but there needed to be a better flow in the script. The story was excellent, giving the reader a different tone of a western. The characters were well developed. I read a lot of different authors and would like to add Mr. Craft to my list.

Loyalty
I liked the characters and got to know them.what didn't like was the wording of the book or maybe that isn't the right word to describe the language use.I felt sometime I was reading at a third grade or less level.it was struggle to finish the book at times because of it. The premise of the story I wanted to know the ending. Authors other books were not like that.

Another Great Book From A.C. Craft
As expected and happily found; here is an excellent and exciting read, honestly depicting the real lifestyle of the older west for our ancestors.
It's fun to have a well written story that is also so exciting that it is easy to stay up too late and miss some sleep.
Thank you, AC

Promising
What we have here is a well planned plot and solid characters.
What we're missing is tied up loose ends, correct commas, and editing.
Our dear author also needs to stop putting African hares in the American West, and to not use 20th century words, phrases and practices.

Greed never wins
Struggles of being a woman doctor and aspiring lawyer were very real in the Old West. Rivalry among ranchers was rampant. Reluctant romances. All this made the book interesting and engaging. I enjoyed it!

Great story
For non native western writer, he writes a good yarn. Authentic and believable. He doesn't try to inappropriate firearms and other ways of trying to more cowboy than he is. Gonna read more of his works.

This book was very well written with many twists and turns. When you think you have it figured out it makes another twist. I really liked the book. I also bought #2. Hope it is as good as #1.

Pretty good book all in all.
I felt like for me, at least, it was a little too wordy at times. Too much description. I get anxious for the action sometimes. The banter back and forth was funny. And good won out over evil - which is mandatory. So all in all a pretty good book.

Greed from TBE beginning
Its amazing how good men that are smart can turn so evil over power and money. Evil never wins as this author shows. Very good read and I highly recommend it.

Good storyline but
This one had a good storyline, but the way it was printed made it hard for me to keep my place. I did enjoy it though! Maybe it was a beginning start for this author as the other works I've read didn't do this.

The Ultimate Cost Of Greed
This was a good western with an appropriate element of romance. It had plenty of action and suspense and was a well developed tale. The story line kept you wanting to see what happens next thus it was hard to put down. I would definitely recommend it!

Never enough is never enough
Easy to read and kept me interested. Hope "Never Enough" will turn into a series and we can follow the characters through more adventures.

Couldn't finish it
I really tried... More than a couple of times I had to lay it down and try again the next day. I finally had to quit at the 44% mark.

my opinion
I liked this story. Not too much unnecessary fluff added in to make the story line longer, as so many authors tend to do.

good story but repetitive wording
This could have been a good story, but it was way too drawn out, and the writing was much too repetitive.
