Dan Wheeler thought he'd found lasting love and stability with his life and work partner, Justin Archer. But when Dan finds himself alone again, still working as a horse trainer for Justin's parents, he has to find a way to accept that his perfect life is gone forever.

Then he meets billionaire Evan Kaminski, who arrives to buy a horse for his younger sister, and Evan's lover Jeff Stevens, a horse trainer who seems to understand more than just Dan's job. Struggling to deal with all the upheavals in his life, Dan finds himself drawn to both Evan's mercurial passion and Jeff's quiet wisdom. Is Dan strong enough to take a chance on new love, or would it be better—safer—for him to be alone?

My review

OMFG this book rips your heart out at the beginning and you spend the rest of the book trying to rebuild it with Dan.
I spend the first half of this book with a headache from crying and the second half feeling a little awkward and waiting for Dan to find his feet in his new life.

I love the pace of this story, nothing is hurried so we get to feel all the chemistry, jealousy and guilt right along with our primary players in this tale. I have to say that the writing style takes a little getting used to as it is in the first person but not narrated. Once I got used to this I found it a pleasure to read and I have bought book 2 and will be reading it very soon.

My Rating:

Thank you for reading my review
