In Black Horse you have everything you could want in a read action, murder, forbidden romance, humor, hate like you have never seen it, love you would die for, with an ending that will totally shock you. I thought I knew the ending boy was I wrong, well partly wrong. This is a love that goes through childhood that will last through the years. One you would die to keep: you just may before it is through.There are so many wonderful characters, some you will love, some you will hate and others you will grow to love. Addison takes you on a journey of love that is forbidden, with a story you will have trouble putting down. She will leave you spellbound for her next book.For Averi and Colton it has been a hard life, these two have seen so much, lived through so much but still their forbidden love lives on all the way from childhood. The book starts out with a powerful prologue of the murder of Averi parents and brother. Which will keep you on the edge of your seats, your heart in your mouth and with you almost in tears as the author takes you through the cold hearted death of Averi family then moves on with the forbidden love of Averi and Colton. This just sets you up for a well round story of love and betrayal."Now twenty years after the crime that screwed both of our lives up royally, Black Horse is getting out of jail. Just four days until his release. Colton wants to hide me. He said we can run... Start over somewhere else. My brothers are armed to the teeth and a war is about to break out. I have no intentions of sitting down or running away like a little girl. We cannot hide from this anymore."The story of Black horse begins.....Not only do Averi and Colton have to deal with his father getting out of jail, knowing the black hearted man will come for Averi but they also have to worry about her two brothers who use to be best friends to Colton. Randy and Tim hate Colton for what his father has done, they feel he could have stopped the killings, that he knew it was coming and did nothing. They are afraid that with his blood in Colton that he will turn out to be as abusive as his father is. They were all small children at the time but still hold the hate in. Averi and Colton have hidden their true relationship from them for the last 11 years. All that is about to change and the war begins brother against sister, father against son, boyfriend against brothers......someone is going to die before this is over all is hoping and promising it will be the Black Horse. There will be many battles in this war who will be left standing and who will be crawling and who will die....Tom 'Black Horse' McClain is as evil as they come he has killed or tried to kill every person who ever loved him and most who has befriend him. I could not understand how one man could be so evil and want to kill everyone who did a good deed for him or loved him at one point. I was so glad the author when into depth about this about half way through the book. I came to understand him but I didn't like him. At one point I said to the book give me the damn gun I will shoot him. (When I really get into a book I talk to the characters, sometimes I yell at them.) It has been a long time since I really wanted to see one person dead. He is the most evil man it will blow your mind what he not only does to his family but to the Ford family and his reasoning behind it.Averi and Colton finally say enough let the chips fall where they may and confront the brothers with their feeling and S**t hits the fan. They have their hands full with Black Horse getting out of jail the last thing they need is more crap to deal with. Losing each other is not a option they will stand together and fight together until the bitter end. Brothers against sister, father against son....I totally love Averi she is strong even after watching her family being killed. She still has nightmares and is scared but there is no way she is losing one more member of her family. Black Horse is going down she is just the lady to do it. There will be no hiding for this lady, she has a gun and she knows how to use it. Use it she will to take down the one man she hates more than life it's self. If she has anything to do with it she will be the only one standing when they meet face to face.Colton is my hero he is a strong alpha male who isn't letting anything or anyone stand in his way of what he wants. He has the heart of gold but will stand his ground to anyone who tries to keep Averi and him apart. He has loved Averi all his life, he has been there to keep her safe and has the scares to prove it. There is no way anyone will take her away from him not even her brothers. As he prepares to fight his own father he has to fight her brothers. Tempers raise, bullets fly who will be left standing? Will they even live to protect Averi from the coldhearted killer Black Horse?Tim and Randy I just loved, they are strong males who wants what is best for their sister. I understood where each came from, and my hearts went out to them both. Will they understand to take down Black Horse they must stand all together to make a stand? It is going to take them all as a team to bring down this hateful coldhearted man.I loved the humor in this book, this book has it all...I found times I wanted to kill people, slap a few heads together, and yell at a few others. When you have all this and the author can still find humor you have me hooked.Here Colton is protecting Averi honor as Jimmy grabs her and demand she be his. Colton will have none of that and the fight begins in the bar:"When you gonna marry that boy?" Shelly asked as they dodged flying beer bottles on their dash to the back office. "The fiiggin' second he askes!" Averi yelled."We can't keep this a secret much longer..." Colt said to Averi with a concerned look on his face. Averi pursed her lips and smiled, "Sure we can... You can be my dirty little secret." "Trust me, girl... There isn't anything little about me," remarked ColtThis is the first book I have read of the author and I am holding my breath for her next release in this series Broken Road which is due out soon. I am setting on the edge of my seat wanting to look over this author shoulder to get a peak. If you are looking for an author who can deliver a well told story of love, romance, action, suspense, that will want you waiting for more look no farther Addison Kline will give you all this. I will be adding Addison to my list of favorite author and going back to read her other stories. I highly recommend you read Black Horse and get prepared for the ride of your life as she takes you though the twist and turns of Averi and Colton's fight to keep their love and take down one evil man Black Horse.
