Best story ever

Nice story:)

Oh my goodness I love this! Funny, sweet, little bit sad - it's got everything!

I noticed a favorable review by Carmel March for this story which convinced me to give it a try. So far, so good. I have absolutely no farm/ranch knowledge and the closest I've been to Australia is watching Crocodile Dundee movies.

I really enjoyed this story! I am going to miss this story. I really liked Kira and your other characters. This is probably one of my favourite stories by you. You should write a squeal.

Wonderful! I really like what I have read so far. Kira is a really likeable main character.

Great opening few chapters! I already love Kira. This story is really relatable to me because I like on a farm, no horses though!

I really enjoyed reading this!

Cute, cute, cute! I'm finally on holidays so I have had some time to reread this story. I loved it. So much. The ending was great and I'm genuinely sad not to have more of these characters. Thank you so much for posting this story!

Great story!

This story is fantastic! Great job.

I forgot to post your review so here:

Ali Thinks: Well, I may get accused of favoritism, and maybe I should, because High and Dry is one of my favorite stories. I will not be blamed for knowing the author, but I promise that we've never said a single nice thing to each other, much like Kira and Tristan in the beginning of their relationship (though I hardly doubt mine and Rosie's relationship will blossom like theirs. Sorry, Rosie).

Though Kira was raised on a farm in her younger years, she is probably the most city a girl can get. When she first gets yelled at by the hot farmhand for leaving the gate open, she's hardly phased by his anger and instead chooses to revel in how well he fits his jeans— very well, in case anyone was curious. In the midst of admiring all of Tristan's great physical features, she has to do all of this gross farm work, in which she doesn't try to hide the fact that she's far less than thrilled about it. To make matters worse, Tristan is probably even less happy about the arrangement than Kira is, seeing as he has to listen to her complain about every job they do.

High and Dry is a pretty short story, and usually hate/love stories need to be long in order to avoid having the characters hate each other one chapter and love each other the next, but Kira and Tristan's relationship unfolded steadily and not at all rushed. There was also a good mix of strong supporting characters, and they were just as loveable and just as real as the main characters, a great aspect to any story. And, to top it all off with a nice, red cherry— it's so funny.

It's always a weird thing, writing a review for one of the other judges, and it's always kind of scary because there's always a chance of being called out for nepotism. All I have to say on that issue is that when— not if— you read High and Dry, that notion will fly out the window because it's pretty obvious that this is a genuinely amazing story.

Such a good story, loved the characters. About to check out the rest of your stuff now :)

The people over at A drop of Romeo weren't lying. This is just... Well, you made me smile all through the first chapters. It's funny and light and your characterizations feel real and relatable. Kira is annoying but sympathetic and Tristan has all the qualities one might need in a leading man (and he looks good in jeans :) ) I'm glad I still have plenty of chapters to spend on your farm.

Your story has been added to ADoR (yadda yadda yadda you know the drill.)
