I loved Kissed by a Cowboy and thoroughly enjoyed the quick read. I found the characters so easy to identify with and fell in love with them quickly.Haley Carston, also know as tag-along because of her perpetual shyness, returns to Redbud Trails, Oklahoma, to care for her dying aunt. Haley is about to turn thirty years old and she left the town of Redbud Trails when she went away to college and never returned except for a few visits. Upon returning to the place she considered her hometown old memories come to the forefront, especially when she runs into Maddox Michaels, the cowboy she has never forgotten. He was her best friend's brother and had taken her to the senior prom as a favor to his sister.Maddox Michaels was on the fast track to college football and possibly the pros when life intercepted his plans and he ended up back home running the family ranch. He is embarrassed and angry that he did not realize his dream, especially when he was called home one year shy of earning his degree. When he runs into Haley old feelings begin to niggle at him but he knows he is in no financial situation to consider a lasting relationship.There were many things I liked about this book, one being the lack of angst. This author is new-to-me and I am excited to read more of her work. She writes so well and without profanity and sexual exploits, that you don't miss it at all.
