Can this series get any better? I really don't think so, but I hope I'm wrong.
Because this book, people, this book!
This is one of my favorite reads of the year, OK? And I've read more than 200 books, and most of them were actually good, so I know what I'm saying.
Since the moment the plot twist in the middle of the book managed to surprise me, I was a goner. I usually predict plot twists, because I'm always thinking of all possible scenarios and consequences. Yes, I'm that annoying.
So, for a book to manage to get me into the story so much that I'm not overanalyzing it, it must be really, really good.
Also, I loved the characters so much, I might have a crush on both of them. Olive is a badass, a true feminist from the XIX century, with her horses and her stubbornness and her independence. And Elijah is such a cute guy, with his love for plants and his nerdy attitude and his vulnerability but also his decisiveness. I loved how they supported each other even when they were "enemies", and how they learned to be what the other needed without losing themselves in the process.
This book is just so good and inspiring and the Romance is just too sweet and non-toxic. Really, I can't express how much it has moved me.
So, please, read it. Please. Of you're only reading one Christmas Romance in all of your life, please let it be this one.

What a delightful addition to this great series. In this case the Duke is a horse owed by Olive Harper and her father on their horse farm. Her father has reached out to his long-time enemy proposing that if their children marry he would sign over his share of his horse farm to the son Elijah Weston.
This book has a wonderfully strong and independent heroine and a despicably cruel villain in Eli's father. The hero is strong enough to let his fear of horses show without trying to be macho about it.
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
