My biggest complaint is a common one for me. The horse details were just not right. I'm going to put them in spoilers in case you don't want to read my rant.
Then there were smaller errors. Taking a bridle and a lead rope to catch the crazy stallion. First you wouldn't take a bridle and if you did you wouldn't need a lead. Second when she got there she put a rope halter on him. Which she didn't have. Then she attached the lead. Goofy. You always attach lead to the halter before catching the horse. In fact the halter and lead are very rarely ever separated. Then he jerks her off her feet when he rears. I taught riding lessons for years. One thing I always stressed is if the horse goes up don't try to hold him 'cuz you can't. Let the rope slide through your hands until you get to the knot at the end, and there should always be some sort of stopper there. A horse can't rear high enough to pull five feet of rope attached to a five foot person with extended arm included out of your hands. When he comes back down you still have him unless he bolts and even then you got a shot at stopping him. Some horses strike but not many. A horse is a prey animal. His first primordial instinct is to run from danger. Still if he does strike and you're where you're supposed to be by his shoulder and not in front of him he can't strike you. It's a very, very, rare horse that's a killer and this one clearly wasn't by the story that the author told. Also, by the story that the author told the heroine was a professional at this. She would have known all of this.
These things may seem minor to none horse people but they absolutely grate on me. A little research is in order. I'll raise my hand right now to vet any author's horse stuff for believability before publishing.
On the other hand I thought the hero's reasons for his difficulties in letting someone close to him were valid. I do think that a lifetime of having to let go of animals you love might damage a sensitive person. I would just have liked it to have been a bit harder for him to dismiss the heroine though and as I said before, I thought he came to his realization of love a bit too late. So really, other than the horse stuff, it was a middling decent read.
I received this free from netGalley for review.… (plus d'informations)
