Received this book as an ARC for my honest review.

Continuation from Taken Outback which was a great way to continue. I ended up not finishing the book. I didn't care for the first book but I thought the 2nd one would be better. I got about 25% through and then found out that the book is another cliffhanger and there isn't another book out yet, I was done. I didn't care for this book either. There just is no connection between the characters and just juvenile behavior.

Leading Hand is the second book in the series by Stella Nights and continues our story set in the Australian Outback. I had no idea where this story would end up and appriciate the elements of suspense and emotion that Stella weaved into the story. This series does not disappoint.

Secrecy and mysteries continue in this riveting romance (book 2 in series). Holly and Aiden grow closer, revealing more of themselves. Holly is still unsure of herself, not questioning things she's learned about Aiden. Story drags in spots then picks up nicely. Cliffhanger ending. Have to learn what happens. 3 1/2 stars

Brilliant read with all the things I enjoy in a book with a brilliant storyline and characters and I will look forward to reading more from you from this author thank you for my arc

Leading Hand is book 2 in the Dusty Rider series and a great follow up to Taken Outback. Although I am not a fan of cliff-hangers for this series I will just hope the next one comes soon. Great character development and a wonderful storyline makes this a must read for me.

I kinda didn't get into reading this. Very good plot just didn't catch my attention and keep wanting to read the rest. Can't wait to read more from the author though.

Installment #2 As the story continues more characters are added, Holly continues to get stronger, and she learns more and more about Aidan. She meets more of Aidan's friwnds and finds herself fitting in. Unfortunately, there's always an old "family friend" to deal with in every relationship. Again, a cliffhanger. Hope the next book comes soon!

This book was gifted to me by the publisher and the author in return for an honest review.

Leading Hand is a fabulous sequel in Ms Knights` Dusty Rider series and provides the reader with just as much excitement and angst as book one. More engaging and complicated characters grace the pages of this book, and their struggle will have you cheering them on and screaming in frustration too. This is another great story that is sure to have readers clamouring for more.

This is my fair and honest review in return for this ARC. This is the second installment of this series. I read the first and have now finished the second. I am torn about the series. While I love that it is set in rural Australia and centers around farmers in Queensland the rest of the tale is leaving me a bit flat. Not certain how many more in the series and unsure if I will read them all.
