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.

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.

Dinah Taylor has an orderly life that is just how she likes it.

Dinah knows nothing about kids and even less about animals, but after she buys him breakfast, he shows up the next day...and the next. She tries to learn more about him, to help him, but he's remarkably skilled at evading her questions.
