The second story is Faith's Crossing, the third is Hope's Path, the fourth is Love's Journey, and the fifth is Strength of the Heart. READ THIS SERIES!!! If you love Missy Good's work you will love Carrie Carr's work as well. - Draco - Oct-30-2006   

An excellent read that starts the series of books - Anonymous - Aug-15-2009   

That was an incredible story. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to read the rest of the series. - uber goober - May-05-2011

nice beginning to the series.. can't wait to read the rest of it.. there are still so many possibilities regarding the plot.. - xtra dog - Jan-03-2013   

What a great start to a wonderful series. The first tale is very loving and like others have said, if you like Missy Good, you'll like Ms. Carr. Great way to spend a rainy weekend, reading this series. - Stacia - Jan-05-2013   

Really good story well done xx - SD - May-30-2015   

Nice rodeo story! Will there be a sequal soon? - Anonymous - Jul-09-2009   

Second time I've read this story. Great read, even with the disclaimer. - IntlWarrior - Mar-16-2010   

The writer has created some realistic characters and the story itself is quite good. Look forward to a sequel, at least to put to rest some unsolved issues from the beginning of the rodeo to the newly purchased property :) - Anonymous - Sep-10-2012   

Great stories! Very much worth taking the time to read - uber goober - May-07-2011   

nice read.. but please let the next story in this series convey that lex is still at least one step ahead of her in-laws.. it would kill me if she were oblivious since xena was always at least 3 steps ahead of her enemies.. - xtra dog - Jan-03-2013   

Second in the series, this story starts to really develop the 2 main characters. If you like a loving story with strong, believable characters, you'll like this one. Definitely worth the read. - Stacia - Jan-05-2013   

uhm.. the disclaimer says that this is the third story in a series.. so where are the first 2 stories?? - xtra dog - Jan-08-2013   

It's part of the Randi And Kay Series. http://www.academyofbards.org/authors/carrie_carr.html

This series of tales are incredible and I highly recommend reading them. - uber goober - May-10-2011   

okay, this story has me kind of confused.. ****SPOILER ALERT**** why did lex act all surprised when her grandpa told her lester was his longtime friend?? wasn't it lester who told her that in the first place and gave her a box filled with letters?? and what happened with the letters they (lex, amanda and martha) found in the storage room?? - xtra dog - Jan-04-2013   

Amanda and Lex are back again and their family grows in unexpected ways. They definitely have unusual families and if you like family twists, you'll really like this story. - Stacia - Jan-05-2013   

A quirky short story that feels realistic. I liked it. Good read - Lyn B - May-09-2011   

A great series of stories. I highly recommend reading them! - uber goober - May-15-2011   

'crazy is as crazy does' certainly gets a whole new meaning.. nice read.. - xtra dog - Jan-05-2013   

hot pwp.. - xtra dog - Jan-08-2013   

Very good story... a great read - Anonymous - Dec-13-2009   

**** SPOILER ALERT **** Fantastic story!! Need some type of sequel to expose Reggie's bad deeds and identify the lover of the killed teacher - I have an idea who it is - Traveller - Feb-19-2010   

Great story about real-life issues in small town america. Characters are lovely. Highly recommended. This is the first time I've read this author - treat yourself, she's fantastic. - Anonymous - Aug-25-2010   

Very good story - quite worth the read. - Anonymous - Sep-03-2010   

Enjoyable read. Needs a sequel. - cygirl1 - Dec-05-2010   

That was a great story. I enjoyed it very much! - uber goober - May-03-2011   

Good story x - SD - Aug-17-2015   

I liked this story and I wonder why it hasn't been recommended! - Ricky - Jan-27-2013   

nice series.. i find it strange that it gets so few comments and ratings.. - xtra dog - Jan-06-2013   

I can't believe this doesn't have more recommendations! The entire Lex & Amanda series is fantastic & Carrie is one of my all time favorite authors. If you haven't read these yet, do yourself a favor & start at the beginning with Destiny's Bridge & work your way through. You'll soon find that your following Carrie Carr to see when the next episode comes out!! - Gia - Sep-07-2013   

Loved the stories. FYI the complete story can be read in the original uber section of the academy of bards. - Wheezie - Apr-12-2012   

Would love to read the end of this - it really leaves us hanging with so many questions!! Drama continues to grow in this loving story. I could not find the completed story in the regular uber section like another reader stated. - Stacia - Jan-05-2013   

There's only the "To be continued in part 7" link missing. Just change the 6 into a 7 in the URL and you can read the rest of the story. - Anonymous - Jan-05-2013   

it's nice to see that they all get what was coming to them.. except for cleve.. i can't believe he got away with what he was trying to do.. - xtra dog - Jan-08-2013   

Wow, Lex and Amanda (and their extended crew) just can't catch a break! If you're looking for a little more angst and drama, this is the story in the series for you. Well written and engaging - it definitely pulls you in and has you rooting for both Lex and Amanda. Nicely done! - Stacia - Jan-05-2013   

i like this story the most in this series.. as i was reading it, i remembered reading it before.. since i never read just one story in a series, i'm sure i've read the previous ones before as well.. none of them rang a bell, but this one i clearly remembered.. - xtra dog - Jan-06-2013   

I enjoyed this sequel very much! - Ricky - Feb-21-2013
