Series: Stories of Serendipity #7Category /Genre: Contemporary RomanceReceived from: Anne Conley (in exchange for an honest review)Tour by: My Family's Heart Book ToursRecommended for: 18+ due to sexual contentGrammar/editing: ungraded – book received as an unedited ARC/ errors excusedThis is the seventh book in the Stories of Serendipity series, but it is the first that I have read. It does stand alone.I absolutely loved this story. I like animals, but I was never one of those girls that went horse crazy, so that wasn’t the appeal. Brent’s care for his dog, Mooch, and the horses he is rehabilitating is palpable. Even more so, is the love he has had for Casey since they were children. A love that has endured, unrequited, for both of them through all that they have been through in the last twelve years.I couldn’t help but relate to Casey in this story. She was a good wife, but the marriage had ended. Her ex-husband blamed her for the problems in their marriage. Fortunately, for me, that is the end of the commonality. It was a bad coincidence that the end of my own marriage came while I was reading this story. I didn’t think I could read romance this week, but the truth is that I do still believe in love and I am happy to see someone else be happy. I can only hope that I find my ‘Brent.’ The story is well-written and compelling. I found myself lost in the lives of Brent and Casey, laughing, crying, and holding my breath right alongside them.I have loved all of the books that I have read from Ms. Conley and will continue to read as quickly as she can create.
