SENSUALITY RATING: Yes, Profanity; Yes, (ONE sexual encounter); Yes, Euphemistic code words "Hard heat of his erections”, “His cock rubbed against” again only during the O-N-E sexual encounter.
GENRE: Modern Day Romance
SETTING: City of London to Aspen Valley Racing Stables in the country
CENTRAL FEMALE CHARACTER: PIPPA – positive, caring, and painter extraordinaire, BUT unfortunately a cigarette smoker with a trashy mouth.
CENTRAL MALE CHARACTER: JACK – horse trainer extraordinaire; a grump, hard worker focused on getting his trained horses into races; downright demanding.
SYNOPSIS: She went from waitress to owner of a horse and a cottage in the country. His secretary walked out on him; probably because of that temper of his. She has never been a secretary but is convincing and the job will help to pay the stable bills.
WHAT I LIKED: When things seem bleak, she pretty much “always” finds a work around.
WHAT I DID NOT LIKE: I know the use of God’s name is common in fiction romance books BUT I still hate when it is used AND especially with trashy language. I wish authors would stop doing that
OVERALL RATING: (4) stars because same reason as “WHAT I DID NOT LIKE”. Otherwise, excellent storyline which alone would demand 5 stars. ( )

Dave obviously had plans to enter - who was it, Peace Offering - in the National and was trying to prove that even the outsiders have a chance.
Besides, you're forgetting that I already have a boyfriend as well. Just because I'm moving away doesn't mean Ollie and I have split up.
You did that? Jaysus, what are you doing here sittin' behind a desk? You should be in a studio wearing a beret and smock, not here.
You suggested having a proper staff party with a DJ would make them forget they were at work. Maybe it's still worth a go.
Strong-willed yet away with the fairies most of the time. And you, brave enough to take her on knowing she's just a waitress.
Maybe I've been angry at circumstances involving you, but I've never been angry at you.
He said I'm pregnant. Six weeks to be exact.
Relationships in the workplace always end in a mess.
But more importantly, here's Peace Offering breaking his duck.
Word is you don't turn away waifs and strays such as myself. Can I come in?
Right, here's the burning question, Pip: if we weren't meant to have midnight snacks, why is there light in the fridge?
Ah, wonderful.Hello, Pippa. My name is Deidre Forrester. I'm with Kings Art Galleries.

Pippa closed her eyes, seeing the swirling colours of verything around her in her mind's eye. The greens of the paddocks, the pinks of the stables in the sun's reflection, the oranges, the golds, the silvers, the blues....the Brandeis blue.
