Description:
Tormented
by guilt, Jezebel came to Redemption Ranch to escape the past. When her mother
pushes her into riding lessons with local veterinarian Matthias Saunders,
Jezebel balks. Sure, the doctor is gorgeous, but he's completely obnoxious and
knows how to push every one of her buttons. Her
deep connection with The Reverend, a gentle stallion who guards her darkest
secrets, has her agreeing to spend time with Dr. Saunders. Surely, a city girl
can handle one country vet, even one with disturbingly blue eyes.
Appraisal:
To start, I
loved the cover of this book. The Reverend is truly the heart of this story.
The way this stallion accepts Jezzy, as broken and unlikeable as she is, makes
this a good read. I never connected to Jezebel; I understood she was
emotionally abused in her relationship with Jeffery early on in the story, but
it seemed to take forever to get to the true heart of the matter. I never
understood her thought process, so not ‘getting’ or ‘liking’ this book is
probably my own failing. I really liked Jezzy’s mother Bernice, she was so
patient with her daughter (I am not sure I could have been). I also liked how
she pushed Jezzy into riding lessons with Matthias. He was a wonderful
character that had no idea what he was getting himself into with Jezzy, but he
knew how to handle her cantankerous attitude. So if you like romances with a
beast for a heroine and a swoon worthy hero this story may be for you, plus you
get a wonderful story about a horse.
FYI:
This book contains adult language and situations that may be
offensive to some.
