Briney heard the jingle of spurs approaching but couldn’t seem to tear her attention away from the friendly horse nuzzling her arm. It wasn’t until the person drew nearer to her and spoke that every hair on the top of her head tingled—that every inch of her flesh broke into goose bumps.
“Mornin’ there, ma’am,” the rich, smooth voice greeted, the same voice that had lulled Briney to sleep on several occasions since Mrs. Fletcher’s death. “I hear you’ve come lookin’ to buy a horse.”
My Review:
Sorry not sorry for posting another Marcia Lynn McClure book! She is wonderful and I love all of her books! Each time I read one of her books I believe in love again.
Briney is adorable! I wanted her to be set free and protected. She is an orphan and was adopted by an older lady who was looking for a companion. After ten years of serving this woman, she is all alone in Colorado. She was never shown kindness or was given any freedom. There is a hysterical scene when she gets a sunburn that I won’t forget! I laughed so dang hard.
Gunner, the horseman is so charming and is enchanted by Briney and her relationship with the horse Sassy. He is of course hot and a legend in the town for his special ways with horses.
This story is sweet, deep, and light-hearted. It was quite a quick read but wonderful all the same!
Watch Out For: Kissing, mild violence, and minor cussing
