Mirrigold: Mutterings & Musings

Underdog by L.A. Witt

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Following on from her last entry featuring former sports start Brant and single dad Jon, we get the story of their neighbour, horse trainer Ty.

One thing’s for sure about this book, Lori knows her horses, the level of detail is excellent but never overdone.

I loved how the horses, with their unique personalities, were as involved in the story as Ty and former convict Landon are.

Both men frustrated me intensely at times, Ty with his stubborn determination that he couldn’t have a relationship because of his business, Landon because of his feelings of unworthiness.

The main antagonist element of the plot I spotted a mile off, but Lori still does a good job at weaving in the tension leading up to the crisis point.

Sexual UST is high between the two men and when they do finally get it on, there’s some really lovely and emotionally driven intimacy.

The Epilogue is an absolute delight and had me smiling for ages after I’d finished reading.
