This book was written for the YA market. The protagonist is 17 and performs in horse competitions. Sounded interesting.Nope.While she may be 17, she has the emotional maturity of a 12 year old. She has her prejudices, namely against "cowboys" that we assume she will get over as the story progresses. It's the getting there that sets my teeth on edge.Cory is a handsome cowboy. He's also rude and speaks to her as if she's an idiot. He is aided and abetted by Kate, her teacher and mentor, when she trusts this teen's opinions over Jane with zero explanation. Supposedly, Jane has been in completions for five years, yet the two of them act as if she cannot be trusted alone with a horse for any reason.By the 18% point, I am thoroughly annoyed by his calculated rudeness. Add to this, Jane is now starting to think differently about him. Not because he's apologized for his behavior, but because she is getting turned on by him.I'm done.There are plenty of young women in this world who do not value themselves. I don't need to read about another one in the name of "entertainment."
