Review: Entertaining Story

"Mounted" contains characters that I really enjoy reading about.  I did have some issues with it though.  Some of the dialogue is very confusing - to the point where I had to go back and re-read it to try and figure out what was going on.  Part of this was due to extra words being added or words omitted throughout the entire book.  I normally do not comment on editing imperfections because lord knows we all have them, but these were pretty numerous and made things really confusing quite a few times.  That being said, it did not keep me from liking the story.  This is probably in part because I grew up riding horses and I still love them.  There is quite a bit of detail to riding so for those of you who do not care about such things, you might find yourself struggling through at times.At the beginning of the story, it took me a bit to get into it because it took me awhile to figure out who people were.  There are still characters in the story that were mentioned briefly that I have no idea who they were but I felt I should know - mostly around horse sales and things.  I can only assume that maybe they will be presented in future installments.  Once I figured out who was who, all went well after that.The basics are that Talia and her half-sister Greer live with their very wealthy father somewhere in Connecticut.  Greer is a spoiled brat who sleeps with any man that has a pulse and when she sleeps with their trainer, her father is forced to find a new one.  Enter Lockie.  Lockie is all that a country boy should be and he falls for good - girl Talia who seems to be quickly becoming her father's favorite because no one in the household can stand Greer's fits anymore.  Unable to see her sister happy or getting something she doesn't have, Greer sets her sights on Lockie.  I won't get into the specifics because I do not like to write reviews that spoil the story for the new reader.I look forward to the next installment - especially thanks to the cliffhanger.
