LOVE
strong, capable and downright broody cowboys? Are you a horse lover? I never
thought I would fall for a cowboy or become a horse lover but the Barefoot
Pastures series by Lili Mahoney has seriously pulled me in and made me
fall in love with cowboy Jake as well as Rusty, a temperamental but fierce and
loving horse.
If you also
LOVE YA books, this series should be on your list!

MY
REVIEW
I don’t think I’ve ever
been so happy to re-immerse myself in a story. There is something about this
series and the way the author writes that calls up my innocence and becomes
food for the soul.
“Without you, Tory, I
don’t see anything worth fighting for” -Jake
This is the second book
in the Barefoot Pastures series. It can be read as a standalone but to feel the
full extent of this series, I would advise to start with the first book.
I was pulled in by
Tori’s character. She is strong and feisty. She fights what she believes in. I
loved her character’s growth in this book. It was natural and seamless. I also
loved that we get to see more interaction between her and Jake. I live for those
moments.
If I wasn’t already in
love with Jake from the first book, this book would have cemented it. We get to
see all of his sides. From the strong and capable ranch owner to the soft and
loving man he is with Tori. Jake is a strong, silent and powerful cowboy, sigh!
I’ve never had a thing
for cowboys but Jake is everything!
The Barefoot Pastures
series is a journey of self discovery and I’m so glad it’s taking me along for
the ride.
I received an ARC of
this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

BOOKS IN THE SERIES

Lili
lives in a rural area of Texas Hill Country, where her husband, three kiddos, dogs,
and miscellaneous other critters create just enough chaos to keep her seated in
reality and not lost in another novel. They also remind her daily that the very
best stories come from memories and inspiration of being at home and with
family.
She
spends a large amount of time playing with her kids, drinking strawberry
smoothies, and not cooking. Sadly, that means she’s usually the one doing all
the dishes, which will put her into a foul mood since she dislikes anything
domestic. Especially folding socks.
As a
child, she had a tough time learning to read because of dyslexia and ADD.
You’ll find that her books are fast-paced and full of characters with flaws.
She usually writes what entertains her; that being strong women, loads of
action, and interesting problems that might be a little out of the ordinary.
She has grown to love reading and enjoys books that suck you in and don’t let
you go and hopes her stories do the same for her readers.
