This book is 12 years old and it shows. I really enjoy Tessa Dare's books but haven't read too many of her early works. This one is mostly ok. I liked the main romance between the hero and heroine and on one hand I liked that Spencer's reasons for wanting to own the horse were important but not earth shatteringly so. I also appreciated that he realized that himself and was ready to move on.
My biggest problem with this book was Claudia and the handling of her story. While I appreciate that Spencer and Amelia are going to support her and help her in whatever way possible I also thought that they needed to be angrier on her behalf.
