Ok, so this story started off weird and slow, BUT after sticking with it after pausing for a while at chapter 5, I’m so glad I came back to give it a second go. It’s a bit of a slow burn romance with an excellent plot and lots of interesting twists and turns. I love that neither character is perfect, they are both perfectly imperfect. There is some light D/s in a few scenes which was for me a delightful surprise. If that isn’t your thing it’s subtle enough and not much of the actual story that you should still enjoy the book. Yes, horses are a big part of the book, but when you find out why your heart breaks for our hero, so it’s actually very understandable and sweet. Give it a go, just keep listening for a while to get to the good part the introduction is a needs to an end. Writing and of course narration by Joel is excellent!
