 | This is going to be a great series... Feb 27, 2006 |
| Develyn is an interesting character with a boring life, a nosy best friend, and an estranged daughter. She wants adventure, but not too much. So what does she do? She impulsively decides to return to Wyoming--to a place she enjoyed as a child, hoping to recoup some of the emotion from that childhood experiece. What does she find? Tons of diversions from her goal, scary scenarios, and plenty of adventure. Her new girlfriend is a quirky character with very little tact. Three cowboys are enamored with Develyn almost immediately, and she finds herself drawn to one man in particular. However, I could see as time when on that she started seeing the good things in the other men, too. I'm thinking as the series continues that she may change her mind more than once. And poor Develyn had so many mishaps with horses taking off on her and bucking her, I'm surprised she hadn't developed a phobia. The story was enjoyable and I recommend it. I've never read a book by Stephen Bly before, but my husband loved his writing, so I gave it a try. I would have given this novel five stars, but I felt like it ended too soon, and kind of abruptly. Fortunately, I have the sequel in my hot little hands. Off to read The Mustang Breaker... | | |  | Memories of a Dirt Road Town Sep 21, 2005 |
| Great Bly Book! This is exactly what you'd expect from Stephen Bly. Funny, hidden humor also, well written, and of course, the message of God's love and understanding heart which is offered to all of us. Very good book. Would,and have, recommend to anyone. | | | | Solid writing, living characters Jul 26, 2005 |
| For a long time now Stephen Bly has been my favorite author and this latest book is just another example of why. Mr. Bly's writing makes you feel as if you are apart of the story and with each book in a series you feel as if you were visiting old friends. His books are heartwarming and humorous, living and breathing the spirit of the west. I can't wait for the next book in this series! | | | | A fun and touching read Jun 15, 2005 |
| This book was a fun read as well as touching. It has characters that just seem to come to life. The interaction between them was great. Develyn, the main character, needed to get away due to circumstances in her life that have left her feeling that she needs to find some peace and direction. She decides to visit a place in Wyoming that she and her family visited when she was just 10. During her stay out west, she makes friends and not just the human kind. She draws closer to God through all of this. She does have an adventure while in Wyoming, fast horses, 4-wheelers & guns. I'm never disappointed in Stephen Bly's books. | | | Write your own review about Memories Of A Dirt Road Town (Horse Dreams V1)
