Blurb-

Jenny Fleming prides herself on being the perfect temporary employee who works at Taralon to do bookkeeping and light housework, however Taralon represents a challenge. Why is the prosperous-looking property running at a loss? Before she can find any answers someone tries to murder her, and she is suspected of doping a racehorse.
Wayne Paterson has to discover where his new employee fits into Taralon and if the racehorse doping and the cattle stealing was really her fault. The only thing he is sure of is that she has stolen his heart with her courage and her sweet smile. How can Wayne trust her again if she truly is guilty?
And if she’s innocent, how can she prove it?


Tifferz Take-

I am new to Jaquelyn Webb and her writing. I absolutely get excited every time I discover a new author! I was not sure how things would work out for Jenny being so strong willed in the opening chapter of the book. But I liked her spit fire temperament and could relate to her being strong willed.
Jenny and Wayne have sparks flying from the first chapter and it is fun to watch them interact! I was roped into this heart warming story filled with mystery, romance, a horse race and some foul play. Throw in a touch of misunderstanding and some rustlers and it all ties together to give us a happy ending.
I loved the setting out on a ranch with horses. It reminded me of when I was younger and had a horse his name was Socks. I loved riding and taking time to just enjoy nature and think. This book brought bake some cherished memories for me.
I really did not want this story to end and while we get our happy ending. I felt it wrapped up a little too quickly and I wanted more closure. Maybe just an epilogue with them a few years down the road. That is me just being selfish and wanting more!
This is a clean read with no sex or swearing. Just some good old fashioned kissing! I can't wait to get my little hands on another story by Ms. Webb. A well written story that had me experiencing a wide range of emotions. I would recommend this read!
I hope you all enjoy it!

Review:

"Shadows Over Taralon" by Jacquelyn Webb had some romance with a little mystery. The novel was of a girl named Jenny Flemming who became a bookkeeper and caretaker of the children of Bill Williams after a car accident had killed his wife.
Jenny liked her job and there seemed to be some strange interest in Bill's bother, Wayne Peterson. However, strange things had been happening at the Taralons. There had been some cattle stealing going on and now Jenny was now even suspected in the doping of Bill's horse, Pretty Boy.
How will Jenny come out of all of this and will Wayne be at her side? One will have to read and find out!
"Shadows Over Taralon" is was a good, fast and easy read. I think Jacquelyn Webb did a good job with this read and I did enjoy reading it.
