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 |

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 |

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 |
