Summary: warm second chance at love
Review: As the snow storm makes travel treacherous as far south as North Carolina, Olympic rider Rhys Lewellyn leaves a message for Ladysmith Farrier Service to help him with his three horses that he has stabled at Fairfield Farms. Jacquie "Lennon" Archer, owner of Ladysmith, is stunned as this is the worse that could happen to her as he is the father of her child Erin, a fact that only she knows. There was never any Mr. Archer as Jacquie never married but used a made-up spouse to legitimize Erin.Jacquie knows the time to tell the truth has arrived. She still loves Rhys and always will, but he returned to his wife while she left New York alone and pregnant. Rhys, in turn, loves Jacquie, but has never forgiven her for deserting him. She wonders how he will react to meeting his daughter in whom he missed her infant years. Worse in Jacquie's mind is how will her beloved Erin react not to just meeting her father for the first time but to her for her mendaciousness. Though the underlying theme of not informing a father that he sired a child seems hackneyed, Lynette Kent keeps her tale brisk and fresh as the weather in her contemporary through a fine lead couple and solid supporting cast including several horses. The story line engages the readers from the moment that Lynette feels like dying when she listens to the voice message until relationships are resolved. Fans will appreciate this warm tale of a second chance at love complicated by Erin. Harriet Klausner
