But after reading the first few chapters, I was definitely hooked! This book is very sensual and the chemistry between Trace and Callie were so great they were crackling. It was funny how Trace could not keep his hands to himself whenever he's close to Callie. And I especially lurve the part where Trace told Callie he loved her; I almost cried, but not before thinking that Callie is such a mule for being so stubborn. It is rare to read that a guy actually told the girl "I love you" first.
The secondary characters in the book are also very well-written. Also the horses and cutting were described in a lot of detail, maybe a bit too much, but overall, this is not a bad romance novel. I will definitely be looking out for other books by Joan Johnston, no doubt about it!
