My Review:
When you are in the mood for a bit of small-town cowboy loving, this is a great choice. This book was entertaining and fun to read. Lacey is running. It turns out her ex-husband was a crook with friends in high places. Now that friends think that she's the key to keeping them all from going to jail with them. By threatening her, maybe they can stay safe. So Lacey runs to the one place where she thinks no one from Tennessee will look for her...Wyoming and the boy that she left behind when she got married.
They were never in a relationship, but that doesn't mean that Chase's heart wasn't broken when, 3 days after they graduated, Lacey ran off and got married. To add fuel to the fire, her husband was responsible for the loss of his family's ranch and his father's suicide. So when Lacey comes looking to him for help, he's not exactly inclined to give it to her.
Chase has had a lot of years to build up his bitterness towards Lacey and life in general. I liked watching his personal growth throughout this novel as he realized where he is heading...towards become a bitter old man all alone like his neighbor Galt. Galt added so much depth to this story. I loved his gruff and cantankerous manners even at the end. I also really liked the addition of Pam (Chase's sister) and Cody (Pam's boyfriend) and what they added to the story.
It's just a great story. There were moments when I was literally laughing out loud and moments where it was just so sweet. Overall, just a fantastic contemporary read!

It never ceases to amaze me that descriptions of a guy's physique are supposed to grab the female of the species. Here we have a "cut" man, his sister, her mysterious boyfriend, a cheerleader/trophy wife, her cheater/con-man ex-husband, a curmudgeon of a neighbor, a thug and a Senator's daughter (who, by the way is introduced in the last 10 minutes of the book--a slight exaggeration there) in Wyoming. Hmmm. What could possibly happen? The story started out strong, then petered out. The only thing that saved the book was the tiny little twist at the end. I don't know that I will read another book by this author until she's had a few more years under her proverbial belt. The characters just didn't seem real enough to me. I do, however, feel she shows a good bit of talent. If she keeps at it I believe she'll be a success.

What a fun story! I am a slow reader, but I devoured this book. In fact, it wrecked plans, kept me from getting out of bed as soon as I'd wanted because I had to read ONE MORE CHAPTER, and it did the same with my bedtime. Darn that Joanne Kennedy, wrecking my beauty sleep!
Lacey was a heroine I could cheer for, and loudly, as the former trophy wife on the run from her ex-husband finds a new life in Wyoming. And then there's Chase, a cowboy who has to come to terms with a past that includes tragedy, disillusionment and bitter loss. Not to mention his undying and completely unrequited love for Lacey (which she doesn't know about).
Add in a cast of colorful characters in the small town of Grady, a hit man with Lacey in his sites, and a lovable mongrel, and you've got a fast-paced tale about people you care about.

So...the first book in this series still lingers in my mind. I don’t even remember the second one. And this one just didn’t much hold my interest. I had to force myself to finish. But I did choose to finish it rather than abandon it as I have some books in my past, so...there’s that.

Tall, Dark and Cowboy starts out pretty slow. I was tempted to give up after the first hour or so of reading. The author spent a great deal of time setting up her story, the characters and the multiple conflicts. I am GLAD I stuck with it. After about a third of the novel the action and romance pick up, I began to enjoy Lacey and her determined quirky ways. Chase was all cowboy, but he also had a sweet side and was not afraid to express is feelings. The story is often funny and occasionally sad and has an ending worth reading the novel for! I look forward to Ms. Kennedy's next novel.

I'm a huge fan of Ms.Kennedy's current books. Not so much this re-issued one from 2011. Too much graphic descriptions of sex, had to skip pages to get thru some of the repetitive stuff. Week story line took too long to develop.

The good thing about Joanne Kennedy's books is that her characters are original and quirky. Thy are different, although I was not as enamored with the heroine in this one as her last book. She probably didn't deserve the hero. Her commitment was pretty weak throughout the book, and the hero was extremely patient with her. For me, Kennedy's best book was her third one, the one about the ex-rodeo queen. Still, Kennedy is a fresh new writer, and for the most part, worth reading.

The book was a great price (free at the time of download). The story was fun, steamy, and not your typical run of the mill romance book. In between my school books and boring reads, I love to spice things up with something that is easy on my brain. I loved the book, writing was great, and the story was really fun. I've suggested it to a few friends.
