Despite her desire for a solitary existence she finds herself discovering a life she could never have imagined, challenging her independence, her fears and her resistance to love.

MY REVIEW

This is a story involving Emma Grayson who has started a new job and essentially a new life at the Melton Estate, where she is hired to tend the horses on the estate. Emma moves onto the estate with the only family she has left, her dog, Susie. Emma has not had the easiest life and has endured more loss in her life then any one person should ever have.

While working on the estate, who is refereed to as Grayson, she meets the other employees and they all become a working family. Each person is a team player and they all help each other out. Emma settles into a routine with her job even though her boss, Trent, initially is not the most welcoming guy to Emma.

One of the things that I loved about Emma is that she is not a damsel in distress, but an intelligent, fiercely independent, courageous woman, who speaks her mind, even to her boss, Trent.

Finally, after much hesitancy, Emma starts to open her heart to Trent, who really has endured a loss much like Emma, and love blossoms.

“…we made each other into better people and now that seemed to me to be something worth fighting for.” ~Emma

Overall, this was truly an amazing read. It had me in tears of sadness, moments of frustration and moments of great relief. An absolute page turner!

Overall, I give it four out of four “Bond Girls”.
