From the Author
Being my debut novel, Barefoot Pastures was monumental in so many ways. Not only did I set out to write the story I envisioned, mostly to purge it from my brain, but I learned so much along the way about the writing process and myself.
I took with me, on my journey, members of my family; and I also gained a few members as well, make-believe as they may be. I became attached to my characters, not only Tory and Rusty, but the twins, and Megan and Dillon, as well as friends of the rodeo. And of course, Jake. I missed them terribly when the book came to a close... so I continued the story... through three more books!
I hope that as you read Tory and Rusty's story, you too build relationships. That you not only laugh and cry with them, but that you sweat and shiver as well! And PLEASE, leave comments. Let me know how your reading experience is!
About the Author
Lili Mahoney's love for horses began before she could read. Now books and horses share equal space in her heart, along with a few humans and a random scattering of beloved animals. Though she earned her B.A. in English, her dream job would be to work as a photographer for National Geographic. She loves romance with twists and characters with flaws that she can identify with. Texas is where she was born and raised, and is her heaven on Earth!

Great coming of age story
By Amazon Customer
I am a dyed-in-the-wool city slicker. I have not spent any meaningful amount of time in my (cough) many years of life on farms or ranches, hanging out with horses, or attending rodeos. Needless to say, I was a little daunted when I began Barefoot Pastures, not just for its setting but for its prodigious length. However, the book came highly recommended, so I decided to brave it. Holy cupcake! (Read the book, you'll get it.)
I read this book a little bit at a time, over a period of four weeks. It is to Lili Mahoney's immense credit that I was never bored with the story, I was able to follow it with ease, and it did keep me wanting to read more.
Tory Timberman is a teenage cowgirl right down to the bone. She prefers the company of horses to people, because, let's face it, teenage boys suck. Pure happiness for her is barrel-racing her favorite horse, Rusty, and she's darn good at it. This, of course, makes her incredibly awkward socially, and when a handful of guys take an interest in her - for different reasons - she retreats into her tomboyish shell, unable or unwilling to take a chance on love, which she feels would complicate her life too much.
Something terrible happens to her, and it not only increases her fear but makes her even more vulnerable. Coming to her rescue is handsome cowboy Jake, who is attracted to Tory but she continually finds reasons to push away.
I found Tory to be very relatable most of the time, and other times she just ticked me off. I can understand a person's reluctance to change their world or to take the risk of letting another person into your heart, but I spent nearly the whole book waiting for Tory to let down her walls and let Jake in. And then the book ended just as it seemed I might be getting my wish.
I would recommend this book as a great coming-of-age story about what it means to be a teenager. Whether you're familiar with Texas or tending horses (both of which you'll get a real education about in this story) or not, the familiar teenage themes will resonate with you whether you're currently living your teen years or well past them.

) I truly enjoyed reading the story set against this backdrop
By Gina
Barefoot Pastures by Lili Mahoney offers a unique snapshot of rodeo life in Texas. Having no knowledge of barrel racing (or horses!) I truly enjoyed reading the story set against this backdrop.
Tory Timberman is about to graduate high school and is completely focused on racing and her horse Rusty. In fact, she often laments her inability to interact with “humans”! We learn right from the start that Tory’s mom and best friend are encouraging her to date. As much as she tries to avoid social interactions outside of her immediate family and best friends Megan and Dillon, Tory is attacked one night in the horse stalls and the guy that comes to her rescue – Jake – pursues her romantically afterwards. As her relationship with Jake develops, we see many sides (and emotions!) of Tory as she struggles with dating.
I really enjoyed Tory’s development from the start to the end of the novel. Although she has a quick temper and sharp tongue, she’s also incredibly kind, considerate, and caring of those close to her. I enjoyed her mental monologues and think the things that she worries about (college, boys, kissing, friends, her brothers) are common for her age. Jake and Tory’s relationship is often volatile but in an innocent way – as if they are learning how to communicate with each other.
Lili Mahoney does a great job at creating an introverted and socially insecure character and then allowing her to grow and blossom throughout the story. She paints a wonderful setting and I really enjoyed reading Barefoot Pastures. Looking forward to the next installment in Tory’s life!

A story of Growing up and Letting Go...
By Snowybaby590
The story is centered on Tory, a girl who is struggling to find herself and who has an obsession with horses, especially her main one Rusty. I’m talking overly obsessive as in she could happily live with Rusty as the main male in her life, but that is the point. She has no clue as to what to do with herself outside of the rodeo and without Rusty as the center of her universe. She has many obstacles in her path that she must overcome as she tries to figure out who she is while balancing her love life and her rodeo life. She is a strong-willed hothead, but has an underlying vulnerability in her.
This story is in first person POV, specifically the main character Tory. I had a love-hate relationship with Tory. She gets to you, meaning, at times I was in awe with how well she handled animals, especially the bull. Other times I found myself rooting for her or I wanted to shake some sense into her or even yell at her for being so damn stubborn. There are a few main men, but there isn’t really any romance and there is no sexual content. This story is more about growing friendships that could lead to possible romantic ones. I loved Jared the most. Hale was timid and seemed shy but absolutely loyal. Cowboy Jake had mood swings up the wazoo, then again so did Tory, but I found Jake difficult to connect with.
The author’s writing was well done and was edited pretty well too. It had only minimal typos, like really minimal and that’s a plus compared to some books I’ve come across. To help other readers, one thing I feel I should point out is a part in the book where I became confused. Tory is sitting on her porch swing with Jared and thinks back to a past event. There isn’t a clear break that lets the reader know the next couple chapters are playing a scene that was talked about prior but wasn’t ever revealed until the flashback. It took me a moment to figure this out, but once I did everything made sense.
I give this book (3) stars, it is good but I feel no rush to get the next one, but this is only because of my personal taste in books. If you love horses and understand the terminology related to horses and rodeos, then this could easily be a (5) star book for you. It does end in a cliff-hanger but in a way the ending was also complete. To be clearer, the ending is a closing to a chapter in Tory’s life and it paves the way for the next installment. I do recommend reading this book first. You need to know how she got from point “A” to point “B” before you jump to point “C”. I’d also recommend this book to young readers, but adults could enjoy this book also. It’s all about reader preference.
I received a copy of this book from the author and Paranormal Romance & Authors that Rock, in return for an honest Review.
