I really loved this book and can't wait to see what other books the author has. Mark he can be so sweet, "she was so bloodied, so brave - and she'd just saved his a**. "You can clean up at my place," Mark heard himself say." Mark has a one track mind when it comes to Jessica, "his breath thickened, and he lowered the phone from his ear. Forgot to check if she was limping. Forgot he was talking to Buddy's irritating owner. For that moment, he could only think of sex. Hard, hot sex with Jessica spread-eagled beneath him." Jessica has powers of persuasion especially when sitting at a work dinner, "Jessica's fingers drifted, tracing a circle on his thigh, and his thoughts scattered Just an inch more to the left, he willed. He crossed his arms, fighting the urge to grab her wrist and place her hand in a more satisfying position." And her powers get bigger and bigger when they're relationship grows, "not much time left but she had him here, beside her right now, and luckily he was groggy with sleep. Trailing her tongue of his chest, she reached down and cupped his heavy balls. He stiffened immediately, she played her fingers along his growing length. "I was thinking maybe I should stay and work for you. After the Breeder's Cup." I enjoyed it. I love horses so being about racing added that nice element. The male character was well-written. The female character was just okay. I didn't like the fact that at times she came off as a spoiled brat, the opposite of what she claims to be. There were a couple of times in which she used sexual advances in order to get what she wanted and I didn't like that. The suspense level is minor, just enough to be loosely termed a romantic suspense. All in all, though, the story was good.
What do You think about Color My Horse (2011)?
This is the second in the Racetrack Romance Box Set. Good one. I'd give it a 3.5.
