I've only had the good fortune to read bad books very few times in my life. This, unfortunately, is one of those times. I could not even get beyond the prologue of this book. I mean - REALLY? I felt like I'd walked into the middle of a movie without even knowing the title or seeing a trailer for film. Your thoughts are random and completely don't make sense. This is how the prologue felt to me. I understand that romance novels are supposed to be in this magical world where things can be made right and perfect by the end of the book. But at least make them SOMEWHAT realistic!
I was originally interested in book based on the synopsis about a young woman who is an equestrian. I ride Saddlebreds so I was obviously interested. In the prologue, the main male character, Miles, is looking to hook up with a prostitute. Who he sleeps with and, supposedly, after one sexual encounter, he realizes how terrible her life is and gives her money to help her leave this life sexual servitude. So........... yeah, where do the horses fit in? Unless you're a psychic, you aren't going know someone's deep, dark pain and secrets after have an S&M shagging session. That sort of stuff takes an ENTIRE book to read and figure out! Maybe the book got better after the prologue. But I was so put off by the prologue I didn't even bother.
Note to the Author: Not everyone know French. If you're going to put in a different language, either use context clues or a translation.
