Wow! Eve is tough, smart, beautiful and completely believable as the heroine of this fast moving and compelling story of a single woman fighting to survive. She's been betrayed by the love of her life, abused and misused by her father and the town people around her, but still she finds it in her character to fight back and not only survive, but triumph. Set in the interesting (and for me, very educational) venue of a horseback riding camp, Eve does have some good in her life. Tom, a lifelong friend and father figure, is a very sage and complicated guy who has her back. And that previously mentioned love, Denton, does come back and make amends, and then some, for the heartache he caused her. There is a lot of action, a subplot regarding another bad apple relative and his efforts to use Eve's lands for nefarious purposes, and we do unfortunately get to lay eyes on the horrible father when he gets out of jail. But overall this is a great love story about a tough cookie heroine and a tougher, intent on making amends hero. If you love those second chance at love stories, Riding for Love is your book.
