Bronwen Jones is having a rough week. The equine boarding barn she manages has been sold, and the new owner is nowhere to be found as the bills—not to mention the manure—are really starting to pile up. When she hears there’s someone staying in the main house, she’s quick to investigate and determined to get answers. An accident has made Ian Kingston decide to turn his back on the world of horses and show jumping. When his sister asks him to housesit her new property, he’s less than thrilled to find there’s an active horse barn attached to it, with horses who are now his responsibility and a manager who isn’t willing to let him stay uninvolved. Soon, the animals—not to mention the sexy woman who cares for them—are finding their way into his heart. Bronwen’s and Ian’s past problems and future plans appear incompatible, though, and they must decide if pursuing an HEA together is worth the risk.
VERDICT James’s (Too Hot To Touch) first Afterglow title will appeal to readers who enjoy a low-key grumpy/sunshine dynamic and romances with relatively little angst.
