Wow, I loved the first book but this one had me in shambles.
First off, Faye is so much more confident than I could ever be. Her mindset about her dancing, and how she holds herself is something I aspire to have. She is such a great person, she loves fiercely, and she constantly puts others before herself. She is the first FMC I have read in a while that I would actually look up to in real life.
Lincoln...what do I even say. The tenderness towards Faye, and the love for his daughters is unmatched. I have read many books with a single dad/father-figure, and Lincoln honestly exceeds all of the others. He is dedicated to his family and his craft. He truly shows up for Faye no questions asked even after a very very rocky start.
I loved this book probably more than I should, it was a perfect blend of romance and suspense. I didn't feel myself wanting more of one or the other. I loved the Kentucky setting, of course, and the fact that it does touch on the intricacies of the bourbon and horse industries here. It talked about the University of Kentucky a few times, but it didnt take me out of the story like some other books might have.
I don't think this book/series is for everyone. But it definitely pulled me out of my reading slup and 5⭐️ drought.
