Audrey Martinez is a veterinarian who has devoted her whole life to the care and protection of horses—even if doing so leaves her little time for meeting a man. Who would have thought that a strange case of criminal horseplay would lead her to falling deeply, wildly in love? If only the man who makes her heart race faster than a wild mustang would let his guard down, that is. . .
Caleb Harper is no ordinary cowboy. Sure, he wears his hat, boots, and jeans like a second skin, and displays an easygoing charm that comes from years of working on the ranch. But with his military background, and Army buddies at his side, he is tried-and-true Texas tough. Audrey knows she can trust a man like Caleb to help her save horses. But can Caleb trust himself to resist his attraction to Audrey—or will the sparks of their desire end up getting them burned? AMAZON 4 STARS
This was an intense mystery mixed with danger and a developing romance. Ah, I love those. Especially when they are well done. And this one was.
Really good, flawed main characters. It was amazing to see after reading for a while they had something surprising in common. Fear of committing to a love relationship. They both had the method of basically one night and done. They weren't out to hurt people but it was how they coped. They each had their own reasons but they were powerful ones just the same.
There was a good unit of secondary people in the story and I would like to read more of "Maddy's" story. Maddy helped her sister Audrey a lot in the story but she has her own hurts that she is hiding. Caleb also had a good group of people behind him too. A sister, brother, in-laws and friends were all there for him and he was there for them.
I had my suspicions on who the "bad guy" behind everything was. And maybe even the why. Nope. Not even close. And I had looked at several different possibilities after a while. Still, no. The author did a good job of jerking me around to the who and why of the culprits. I was running all over the place trying to guess!
I liked that there is dual P.O.V.'s in the story. The only flaw if you want to call it that, is a bit too much angst replayed over and over about Caleb's inability to trust women. His inability to trust women doesn't keep him from having hot sex with Audrey though. One good thing to my way of thinking is that it didn't happen right away.
