   Eu esperava mais, sendo um livro da Elsie Silver mas me decpicionei. O andamento do livro é demorado, estilo slow burn, mas quando as coisas ruim acontecem, são resolvidas de forma rápida e simples.

   Vaughn era um personagem que prometia entregar muita coisa, mas a personalidade todinha no livro se baseou no avô morto. Não gostei do jeito que ele decidiu as coisas e depois de 5 minutos de conversa com o Hank e o Cole ele viu que era uma burrice.

   A Billie Black é uma mulher forte, isso é uma verdade absoluta. Porém, ela chora bastante e é muito emotiva. Não sei como ela sobreviveu tanto tempo nesse meio sendo assim.

   De certa forma, é um livro gostosinho de ler mas não vale muito o hype.

3.0

*has some spoilers

i did in fact read this after chestnut springs and rose hill on accident and i hate it but its ok it was still good.

plot: this is abt billie and vaughn. vaughn owns this ranch where the horses are basically racing horses. billie works for him by training the horses. they end up falling in love.

billie: omg i love her

vaughn:he rlly grew on me

smut:yes

this was my least fav in the series but it was still good.
emotional

When I started reading this book, I assumed it would be a solid 3-star for me. Just something I was reading because my book club was. But, the emotional turmoil at times had me in literal tears, which is typically a 5-star in my book. The only reason I didnt go for the 5-star is that the emotions mostly occurred under Vaughn's POV. I like Billie as a character, but I didnt feel as connected to her. Maybe her background wasn't explored enough? I cant say for sure, but I found it lacking. Vaughn, however.... Elsie Silver completely NAILED the devastated, I'd-do-anything-even-beg feel with Vaughn. Not sure what that says about me that I find it so utterly panty-dropping to see a man willingly go to such extremes to win someone's heart. Overall, I probably wont rush to buy a trophy book for my shelves, but I genuinely enjoyed this book (my first Elsie Silver amd first horse book since Black Beauty).

Billi and Vaughn story was so cute

Elise Silver is truly my favorite author, I have read every book, every epilogue and I will tell you that nothing beats her ranch men! Billie is a fucking ball!! I love her! She is sweet, sensitive, and down to Earth, and yet she is a spitball of energy whenever she has to be around Vaughn. They brought out the good in one another and I am really proud of Cole for being the step-in that kicked Vaughn's ass into gear!

Great start to the new series, yes!
I loved Vaughn and Billie so much!
