Blake
Talbot need to get away, but it’s very difficult to escape
his mind. Agreeing to go with his frat brothers on a
vacation to a dude ranch in the Montana mountains, Blake
hopes the change of scenery would offer him some peace of
mind if only for a little while. When he arrives at the
Lazy C his already clouded mind is more disturbed when he
meets hired hand Kris Killborn. Starting a physical
relationship with Kris may not be the best thing for Blake
right now, but the attraction to Kris is too strong to
fight.
Working
on the Lazy C Dude Ranch is just to help Kris make money and
get him closer to his dream of making it big as a singer in
Nashville. Kris never counted on his plans being derailed
by falling for a privileged college boy with emotional
baggage. After spending time with Blake, what Kris planned
to be a physical only relationship quickly surpass that.
Wild Horses is a fitting sequel to Seven Year
Itch. It tied up some loose ends from the prequel and
brought to the forefront Kris Killborn, a character of
interest from the prequel. Kris and Blake are good together
and I really liked this story, although I didn’t find it to
be very climatic. It was also great to read about Jamie and
Rafe again, and I still think Rafe deserved better treatment
than what Jamie shows him. Lilah has the worst luck ever to
keep getting herself in some very bad situations. Luckily
things work out nicely for her. Blake’s friends aside from
Dex were total jerks and I felt they deserved much worse
than what they got in the end. All and all Wild Horse
is a good read, but I do recommend reading Seven Year
Itch to get a better understanding of the characters and
better enjoyment from the story. |
