THIS BOOK IS GONNA GET EVERY BARBIE HORSE DREAM YOU HAVE EVER HAD, PUT THEM TOGETHER IN A BOX AND SHIP YOU TO THAT PINK STABLE YOUR MOM NEVER HAD MONEY TO BUY
A horse girl book shouldn't have been this good AND YET...
A spicy horse-girl love story, falling in love with her grumpy, rude boss, giving you the most delicious bickering and the most exciting sexual tension.
I sang to my little ponies' opening song for eight days after finishing this.
Elsie surprised the sh!t out of me with her fluid writing, her relatable characters, she made me CRY ABOUT A HORSE. Yes, that is correct. She gave the main horse in this book a more complex personality than I have ever seen in most men in romance books AND IN REAL LIFE.
I have no words, I am so excited I found another series of stand-alones to freak out about. I can't wait to jump to the next one.
These characters were funny, relatable, entertaining, this writing was light and romantic, and juicy and...
I am ready to live all my horse girl dreams, braid my hair, buy some boots and even lie about NOT being liberal as fuck, just so I can have a man watch me with lust as I gracefully ride a horse and wear tight horse trainer pants.
This had a couple of cringy dirty talk lines but I don't even care, this was amazing and I had a blast. Four BRILLIANT stars.
”Off to the races, honey.”
“Sometimes all you need is one person’s unwavering faith.”
“She’s a live wire, and I am the idiot happy to see what happens when I pick up the loose end.”
“Sometimes you’re born into a family, and other times you choose them. And when you choose them, you know in your bones that they’re right for you.”
“I feel like I’m looking at the sun, blinding but so deliciously warm that you just close your eyes and bask in the glow, anyway.”

“You’re incorrigible.”
I shake my head in disapproval. “Okay, you can drop the private school vocabulary now. No one is here to impress. Your name alone is already a big enough testament to how expensive you are.”
“Vaughn, I am so not in the mood for your trust fund baby temper tantrums right now.”
“Man. You’re like the clap. I can’t fucking get rid of you,” is her muffled response.
“Good lord, don’t be such a bitch baby.”
I can’t help it. I bark out a harsh laugh against my will and turn back to take her in. “Billie Black, did you just call your employer a bitch baby?” I say, giving her an incredulous look.
“Yeah, yeah.” She grins as she walks towards the small pen beside the house. “Turn your fine trust fund ass around and come have a beer with me.”
“Don’t you dare interrupt me. I have some choice words to share with you as well, but I can only handle one spoiled asshole at a time, so you just wait your fucking turn.” He presses his lips together. Vaughn’s no pushover, but he’s also smart enough to know which battles are worth picking—and apparently this ain’t it. Smart boy.
If he loved me, he wouldn’t be selling DD off to clear a dead man’s tarnished reputation at my expense.
