These two stories are novelettes so they are super fast reads.  I read them both in one sitting.  The characters are all based in the same small town of Ranchette Station.

I thought the story concepts were cute!  However, I didn't feel a connection to the characters.  The emotion fell flat for me.  This may be due to the length of the stories but I just never became invested in what I was reading.  In both stories, I liked the males much better than the females.

These were light, easy, clean romances.  That is something this girl always appreciates.
