Tom Jeffcoat thought he had sealed his fate when he rode into town and accidentally mistook Emily for a boy while she was working at her father's livery in britches. The two fought from the instant they met, especially when she found out he was opening a competing stable across the street. Somewhere between battles they start to see each other for who they really are and grow attracted to each other, despite being attached to others. It soon becomes undeniable, and the author doesn't drag it out with a frustrating lack of communication between them. Spencer is a master at the slow, simmering tension and build-up, and it was a delight to read. Alongside the main plot is the side romance between Emily's father and his first true love, together again after being apart for over twenty years, and their story is just as engaging and interesting as the central one.
