This is probably a book that I wouldn't normally pick up based on the cover. Shelly K. Wall provided me a copy to read, however, and I'm glad she did. Shelly has crafted a story set in Kansas City that includes--carriage rides, horses, a veterinarian hunk, motorcycles, and a spirited red-haired heroine who wants things her way. You will think that you have the story figured out from the start but there are plot twists that sneak up on you. Shelley provides the characters with human failings and even has the horses acting like stubborn people as well.Tess, the heroine, while not understanding why her father left his motorcycle to her is determined to learn to ride. The hero, a veterinarian who teaches motorcycle riding lessons on the side, helps her to loosen up and see life from a different perspective.Even with the typical commitment and trust issues of the hero and heroine the story seems real because of the added secondary plot of dysfunctional families. A fun, fast read with a bit of sensual pleasure thrown in that will keep you turning the pages to find how the characters resolve their issues.
