Description from the publisher:
Just shy of her thirtieth birthday, Haley Carston returns to Redbud Trails, Oklahoma, to care for her dying aunt. She thinks she's ready for this homecoming. She's spent years escaping her perpetual shyness and being Katie Michaels' tag-along friend, but being back in her hometown brings back a lot of old memories, especially when she is faced with the cowboy she never forgot Katie's older brother, Maddox.

Twelve years ago, Maddox Michaels was supposed to be somebody. He had everything. A football scholarship. A Division I team scouting him. Maybe even a chance at the pros. Now, he's a burned-out cowboy working day and night to stay ahead of his brother's medical bills and keep their family farm from going bankrupt. And trying to be a father-figure for his niece, Olivia.

When Haley and Olivia start spending time together, Maddox can't help remembering those dreams that died alongside his sister. Will being with Haley open his heart to new dreams?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
KISSED BY A COWBOY is the first book in the Heart of Oklahoma series.  I don’t know yet if they will need to be read in order, though this story was complete with no loose ends.

One of the things I liked best about this story is that there were no millionaires.  These were normal, honest, hard-working people who are making it through life just like the rest of us.  They have bills and dreams.  They have heartbreak and hope.  They have tears and laughter.  I loved it.  I loved Katie and could completely understand her shy, quiet nature.  I felt so much for Maddox, who had the world by the horns, but has put family before his own dreams.  And I cheered as they found their dreams together.  There were also the dreams of a little girl to be nurtured and they made me smile as well.

All in all, this story was a big happy heart from start to finish, with just enough angst to make it interesting.

I loved listening to this story and hope I get to hear more from this author and this series.

What a sweet surprise!  This gift came in my email – no contest, not my birthday, just a sweet surprise.  Thank you Lacy!  Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted Audio book, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
