Easy to read, easy to love, and to fall into, Somebody Like You will leave you wanting more! -- Amy Lillard

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant read! --By Carniehands

Oh lordy. If you've ever liked a cowboy, wanted to like a cowboy, or even if you hate cowboys, you will love this book. I was drawn in one page one and already swooning on page two. No joke. Lynnette has this realistic, descriptive, and imaginative way of writing where you soak up all the details without even realizing it. And then before you know it, you forget you're reading altogether and instead, you're watching it play out in your head. – Jolene, PenandMuse

Austin’s Somebody Like You, will have you wishing for your own Cash. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. I do have to warn you: don’t begin this book late at night or before going to bed. You won’t want to put it down! -- Literary, etc.
