She tries to learn more about him, to help him, but he's remarkably skilled at evading her questions.

Somewhat
This book had a good plot and the narrator was good. I am disappointed that in this inspirational genre both of the individuals involved in the romance had made vows of "till death us do part" and entered into yet another marriage. Not my idea of how marriage works according to what Jesus teaches.

shallow
The characters were shallowly developed and the story extremely predictable. However, if you like horses and want to learn a few basics about natural horsemanship, you may enjoy this 'harlequin romance'if you're not looking for anything deep, engrossing or thought provoking. It kept me company while gardening.

I really loved this book. The narrator did a good job and it was a feel good book. I like a book that doesn't have a lot of swearing and things that if my kids are in the car I would be embarrassed about and this had non of that!!
