This book was...underwhelming. I'm giving it 3 stars because it was compelling enough for me to want to finish it, but that is unfortunately the best thing I can say about it. The book doesn't actually go anywhere; there is no character growth or development; every other scene is a perfunctory sex scene (I'm not opposed to sex scenes in general but come on now); for someone who claims to love horses Thea is a holy terror to them when it serves her own wild emotional needs; dragging out the revelation of Thea's "big secret" seems to stand in place of any real plot or substance. I wanted to like this one, but it just didn't work for me.
