Review: Love story based in reality...
Great love story. Surprisingly well written novel that held my interest from beginning to end. These are real characters that feel and grow - not the normal chariactures. The couple address real world problems and make hard choices and not in fairy tale like fashion but in real life ways. The hero is an orphan, a kick-boxer who takes out his anger and frustrations in the ring. She's estranged from her family, her twin sister is paralyzed and our heroine can't bear to look at her. She works out in a frenzy, in a sort of crazy way to balance her sister's disability. At first you think these two beautiful people will fail once they are tested with each other's baggage but as the couple's relationship grows deeper they are forced to come to grips with all the skeletons in both closets. And the ending is very emotional, a special moment. This is something different.

Review: This was a truly modern love story set among a world of horses, wealth and skeletons in the closet. I wanted the good guys to win and was happy to see the bad guy get his butt kicked. A good love story without the usual mush. Enjoyable read!
