This is a story that I just about inhaled, I savoured every word it packs an emotional punch with beautiful and damaged heroine Golden Saunders, what she has been through and that she can still smile and love is amazing and then we have our hero Tor Amundsen, who also has issues from his past that make him strong, a bit arrogant but so very caring, this is a journey with many obstacles, but with so much love to offer for both Golden and Tor it is a journey that I highly recommend you join in with because with the horses and the settings, it is one that will leave you smiling.
Golden is small and feisty she was bought up by her loving grandfather around horses, her father was a top jockey but dies when she was young, and although she has a mother and step-father she is not close to them but is very close to her half –sister Angelina, they share a very special bond. Golden falls from a horse at the age of fifteen and is seriously injured but never gives up, she has a true love of her horses, her home with the trees that are special to her and the children she helps in her position as speech therapist, but her step-father is putting the pressure on her with an investigation into race fixing, this brings her in contact with “a spy” Norwegian Tor Amundsen and this arrogant man thinks he is going to start telling her what to do well think again.
Tor works for the United Nations and has been bought into the country to work on a horse racing scandal that could cast a worse black mark on the reputations of Golden’s father and grandfather, with this investigation he gets closer to Golden and can feel a sensual pull like never before, but there is also danger uncovering truths that have been hidden for many years and does he really want to hurt Golden?
There was a lot of emotions throughout this book, I loved Golden from the start I felt her pain and her love for her horses it also took me back to days that I spent at Rosehill and Randwick racecourses and hearing the pounding of the horses hooves in a race and the excitement of the turf, but I felt her love for Tor even though she tried hard to deny it for so long she is one stubborn heroine, and Tor what can I say I could have smacked him at times when he joined in with everyone else trying tell Golden what to do, what was best for her, but in the end he could not refute the love that her felt for her. Woohoo MS Janu a fabulous story with fabulous characters rich and alive and left this reader very happy, this is one not to be missed thank you
