<strong>Horse girl book from someone who clearly understands horses</strong>

4.5/5

This was actually pretty good. And my favorite thing about this is how much plot there was. It wasn't a complicated plot. Well, not a super complicated plot, at least. But the ratio of plot to romance is heavily in plot's favor and this is exactly what I am here for. Solid plot of "Girl tries to save the family farm with horses", solid subplot of "One of the horses she has is actually a Russian man under a curse" with ANOTHER solid plot of "Blue-blooded ex-boyfriend and said hot Russian man vie for her attention and try to help her out."
Honestly, it reminds me of like a grown up version of Phantom Stallion. Kind of. The vibe is there.
Horse girl books. 
And the best part is that the horse stuff is accurate. 
I enjoyed this book. I'm intrigued by everything that is going on. I also really like the main characters. And I'm going to be honest. I thought I was going to hate Sean. I really did. But I don't. I actually like the noble butthead. He's alright, even if he is the ex-boyfriend. 
I'm impressed with this. And I want to read the next one because I suspect it will be more curse than save the farm, and I am here for this.
