The girl he thought he’d end up with. The one who was right there when his life disintegrated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fighting heartache to find love
Reviewed in Australia on 14 February 2017

Haley has been in love with Maddox since his sister Katie set him up as her Prom date, but tragedy destroyed all their lives. When Haley comes back to Redbud Trails to care for her ill Aunt Matilda, she doesn't expect to see Livy, her connection to Maddox. As soon as Maddox sees Haley, he knows his heart will never be the same, he barely survived last time.

This was a beautiful book, inspiring characters trying not to repeat the sins of their parents. A charming quick read that will warm your heart, and maybe bring a few tears as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unfashionably good!
Reviewed in the United States on 17 March 2014

Kissed by a Cowboy was absolutely adorable. There’s just no other way about it, and you gotta give credit where credit is due.

The basics: teenage girl had a crush on her best friend’s brother in high school, boy felt the same but somehow they drifted apart. Ten years later, after lots of heartache, they meet again. The connection is still there and this time they want to do something about it. Simple and…well, sweet, with not a single sex scene, which was so wonderfully refreshing that it took me completely by surprise.

The characters were lovely, both Haley and Maddox (always a plus when you can actually like the characters without any “buts”) the beta characters were nice as well, adding to my overall enjoyment, and the writing had a pleasant pace that was neither hectic, nor too slow. Very natural, all of it, even though I would have liked to see a bit more to the story, some extra scene to give it some more depth, and maybe an admission of “I’ve loved you, like, forever, why were we such idiots?” but you can’t have everything.

On the overall, the general sweetness of the story made up for that bit, and the occasional typo/missing word. None of it mattered because I just had plain and simple fun reading Kissed by a Cowboy.

Conclusion:
Definitely for readers of the old block who read romance for the sake of romance, nothing more.
Heck, I thought stories like this (the kind that got me into reading romance novels way back when dinosaurs still roamed the earth) didn’t get writ anymore, but there you have it.
Thank you Ms. Williams, I’ll be looking at more of your work.

Haley Carston had moved around a lot when she was a teenager so she rarely made friends. When her aunt invited her to stay with her and finish high school she finally had a home and friends. Katie, her friend in school fixed her up with Maddox (Katie's brother) to go to the prom. He was her first kiss and he was popular because he was on the football team.

Haley's Aunt Matilda is dying from inoperable cancer so she goes back to her small town after being gone for ten years to look after her. Haley meets Olivia at the bank and notices she looks exactly like her mother, Katie. Katie was killed in a car crash shortly after Olivia's birth. Haley calls Maddox, who is now raising Olivia and gets his permission to take Olivia to Aunt Matilda's. Haley helps Maddox and Olivia with Olivia's business proposition and even gets his brother Justin interested in doing something, not just sitting in front of the TV. Haley and Maddox get to know each other again but neither feel they good enough for the other.

Maddox Michaels was doing great at college football with the possibility of going pro when he had to go back home to run the family ranch. He is angry and humiliated that he did not get to persue his dream, especially when he was called home with just one year needed to finish his degree. He not only is running the family ranch but has custody of his niece, Olivia and is caring for his brother, Justin, who is recovering from a rodeo accident where a bull trampled him and broke his pelvis. When he sees Haley again, he wants to see what can come of his feelings for her but he knows he is in no financial situation to consider a relationship. I really liked Maddox. He took on so much responsibility because it was the right thing to do but could barely make ends meet while doing this. I liked how Maddox didn't think he was good enough for Haley - typical male attitude.

As a teenager, Haley was very shy, but not anymore. She gets involved with Maddox's family and helps everyone find satisfaction with their lives. I liked how Haley subtly fixed everyone's problems.

I know I am doing the best that I know how but I feel like I’m constantly letting those I love down and my dad’s negative words keep me doubting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Heart Stirring Read

A great start to the Heart of Oklahoma series! I enjoyed both stories in this quick yet heart stirring read. These well-written stories kept me invested from beginning to end. I loved Maddox and Haley and the way their relationship developed despite complications. They were totally relatable, realistic, engaging characters. The second story, which is a little deeper than the first, accurately portrayed real life reflecting the emotions and doubts of a new mother and the challenges of having a teen-aged daughter. The importance of communication in a relationship and especially in a marriage illustrated in this book is a life lesson we all can apply to our lives. I think you will find this read well worth your time.
