This erotic romance has an interesting setting in the world of show jumping. The heroine Caroline doesn't want to be covering this on her reporter beat, but she knows this is her best chance to move away from small town reporting. She's ambitious and wants to take a crack at working in the big city. She's a bit prickly at first, but softens when she meets Michael. He's a horse trainer whose father is a famous show jumper--oh, I beg your pardon, I mean a rider of show jumper horses--and who wants his son to follow in his footsteps.Michael wants to follow his own star and at any rate, dislikes and disrespects the way his father puts fame and fortune above everything else, even his family.Both characters are very ambitious but their intense attraction may undermine those individual dreams. I enjoyed their sexy scenes and the way they cared for each other. Caroline came off a bit starchy at first, but when Michael needs her support, she's right there for him. Their struggles with amibition, love and compromise make for an entertaining read.
