I received an ARC copy of this book from the publisher for review. 
 I wanted to like this book a lot more than I actually did. I love hurt/comfort themes, and any book involving horses usually rates high on my list. But here's the thing: I was bored. 
 The beginning was great and the set up to this romance was interesting. I thought I was going to remain interested through the whole thing and finish the book with some amount of satisfaction. After the first few chapters, though, I realized that I was getting restless and wanted to read something different. Not a good sign. It seemed that after a certain point, there wasn't much going on that hasn't happened in every single chapter so far: Nathan gets help going down the stairs, they go visit Tsarina, they go to a restaurant to eat, they talk too long and leave the restaurant late, Nathan gets help going up the stairs, he crashes on the couch. Rinse. Repeat. Add in some sex scenes about halfway through and go through everything again. 
 Speaking of those scenes, I thought there were too many and after a while I just started skipping them. I do the same with any type of romance that tries to tell you how much the characters feel about each other by the amount of sex they have. It makes their relationship seem one-dimensional and I get tired of having to skip ahead. 
 The characters themselves were kind of...meh. There wasn't much emotional depth to them and it left me disappointed. 
 I regained a small amount of interest in the last two chapters, but not enough to make me want to read it again.
