This is a rural romance set in Victoria Australia and in Japan, Merindah Park is a race horse stud run by John Bassett and his siblings a brother and two sisters, this is John’s story his journey to a HEA with a beautiful Japanese Veterinarian is a sensual and moving story that is sure to keep you turning the pages.
John has set off to Japan to buy a new race horse for the stud Tsuyoi Red, he worries that it is the right thing to do as for the last five years he truly has struggled to keep the park going and make ends meet, but this should be a chance to really help. When he arrives he meets his old friend and his sister Toshiko and there is an instant pull between the two, she is the vet at their stud and beautiful and soon they are conversing like old friends and getting closer.
Toshiko is bound by honour as is the custom in Japan, she has done everything to please her family, she become a good vet and the family stud was left to her younger brother and now she must honour her parents wishes and become a bride to a neighbor, but first she will travel to Australia with John and the horses he has purchased and here in Australia she learns to be more open and stand up for herself and fall in love.
MS Dahlia knows her horse racing information this is a very well written story, there are many emotions flying from the pages and when John discovers Toshiko’s other happiness besides being a vet and horses it threatens to pull them apart, but love prevails and they have the best HEA. I really did thoroughly enjoy this story I learnt lots of interesting things about horse racing and of course there was the beautiful romance and I do look forward to seeing the Bassett siblings get their HEA.
