Customer Reviews

A must read for real Cowboys and those that wannabe!

It is obvious from the first page that the writer has had a genuine cowboy education - something that only another authentic cow"person" would recognize. For those who are not the real article this story will provide an introduction to and appreciation for "cowboy humor" and introduce you to the unique world of the cowboy as well as the vampire. The story keeps you either hooting with laughter over the dog or the vernacular or in complete suspense as the plans of the "good" evil vampire versus the "bad" evil vampire unfold.My only regret is that I've finished the book. This is a book you'll want to pass on to your friends...it is well worth reading for many reasons.

Best of the Old West meets the Big City

I picked this book up ... Let me tell you - I would have paid five times as much !!! The title really caught my eye, and the brief backpage description sold me. I fell in love with our cowboy Tucker, his horse Snort, his dog Rex, and even crusty old Dad.Lizzie ? She ROCKED !!!!Once I began reading, I could not put the book down. I literally read all night, and enjoyed every page and every minute. The style in which the book is written, alternating chapters written in first person by Tucker and Lizzie, is wonderful. Their unique and colorful personalities are reflected in their descriptive language. The characters are "killer" and the humor is divine.I equally enjoyed the secondary characters, especially Tucker's childhood buddy Lenny the militia man and expert weapon creator. The plot is great and the story flow is pefect. Not once was I tempted to put this book down or skim a single page. The authors keep the reader in perpetual suspense - never knowing what to expect next.PLEASE, oh please, let there be a sequel. If not, at least more books in the same "vein". Pun fully intended.I've passed this book around to various friends and family members who have all loved it as much as I did .

FOR THOSE BORED WITH THE ORDINARY ROMANCE

A fantastic book not to be missed. Tucker is definitely one of my heros. (How many other men could accept such a unique partner as Lizzie?) I read this in one sitting, and almost saw the sunrise. (Lucky I'm not a vampire! ) I laughed continuously, cheered the good guys, and loved all of the colourful and humourous characters this book provides. I totally recommend this for those who are sick of the ordinary "been done before" romances. I now hope the authors may be persuaded to do a follow up...maybe Elita's story.

Whimsical, Laugh-out-loud funny and Original

If you've despaired lately of reading something fresh, this is your book. I was delighted with the whole concept and can just imagine how many publishers probably turned it down for being non-conventional. I loved Tucker, the cowboy, and his homespun wisdom. Read this book.

READ IT - great distraction from everyday life.

A truly enjoyable book and fine distraction from everyday life (or afterlife). The pace kept up; I laughed out loud, felt suspense, and rooted for the heroes. The characters were believable and the type you could have an enjoyable evening draining beers or blood, as the case may be. The story suspended my disbelief in vampires and gave them a reasonable place in the plot. Read it.
