The beginning of the book really pull you in if you are a horse person. The way the author describes the look of a horse when admired by this cowboy and how they seem to connect on a deep level. The description of the different States' scenery and ranch life are well written. The ending is a total disappointment. Not that every book I read needs a happy ending but it needs to be at least satisfying and not feel half finished. Like the author was meeting an editing deadline or had run out of steam. Normally I read horse books and send them along to a friend who also enjoys horse books. I will not be doing so with this book. I don't want her to spend hours reading this book to come face to face with such a disappointing and unsatisfying ending as I did.
