Sheltered most of her life, Rennie did not have any idea of what she wanted out of life. But her entire life changed the minute Juan asked her if she had left the groceries at the church. This, in turn, leads to Rennie accepting the job as groom to the team’s polo horses.

Up to this point, readers are still curious about the inner workings of each character. Thus far, the reader must go on stereotypes. And even then Rennie and Juan are weak in their decisions. Neither have a clear-cut definition of what they want or need out of life. They simply just drift along.

One point that does come out is regarding their level of sexual activity. Rennie is a virgin who does not have an inkling of birth control, desire, or anything related to a man’s body. Nevertheless, she is willing to learn. Then there is Juan who has minimal experience and absolutely no understanding of a woman. The only thing he does know is that he wants Rennie.

This is an interesting tale that proves love can overcome all obstacles. Including an unplanned pregnancy and a very quick wedding. However, sad to say, even with the unique plot idea, the characters were weak. The story itself was dull and unimaginative with illuminating highlights explaining the world of polo. Even with these distressing points, Winston does have a quick wit that shows.
