Lady Elyssa Prescott has consigned herself to a life of spinsterhood. It could be worse, she has a loving family who she knows will always support anything she does. And she has her horses that give her a sense of mobility and autonomy that she could never manage in her every day life. But when she meets Brentan Montgomery, she begins to wonder if there could be more to that life.
Everything felt a lot more forced than I would have preferred. We have this inorganic romance forming where they're never really on the same page about anything. Then they're just sort of together automatically and we as readers are supposed to view it as a dramatic come-together but just feels icky in light of the secrets being kept and the lack of previous conversation. Plus, the random flips to the brother and best friend's side romance that is just a boring case of miscommunication stifled the drama.
I like drama to an extent, but I don't like it when it has no build up and no motivation. Like of course, we knew from the second he told her to hide that she would somehow find herself perilously threaded into the narrative of the chase. I was just sick of it at that point. So while it had some good points, I had pretty much lost it by the end.
