| Maddie and Jake don't get along well at all at first. Maddie feels the chemistry and the draw with Jake but wants nothing to do with men after her ex-boyfriend. Their first meeting does not go smoothly at all. Jake gets on Maddie's bad side when he pulls her off of a horse that she has tamed. Jake didn't know he shouldn't have but that doesn't matter to Maddie. Jake is intrigued by Maddie and the different techniques that she's using to tame the horses. Jake starts to pursue her somewhat and Maddie starts to give in to him but repeatedly pulls back.
Maddie and Jake are great characters. Maddie was in an abusive relationship and is dealing with all of the changes and repercussions of that. It was years ago but it is still a big factor in her life. Jake has his own jaded past to deal with but he seems to be more open. I love the way that Maddie and Jake interact. Their personalities match very well. They have a lot in common once they actually get to know each other. This story is believable though it does move a little fast for actual reality. Nothing pulled me from the story when I was reading. The characters are very human. I found the dialogue very entertaining and befitting the story. The sex was written well. It takes up very little of the story because of the situation and Maddie's past. It is full of emotion though. The characters are definitely in a relationship when they make love. I enjoyed reading it and what it added to the story. There was a depth of emotion added to this story that draws the reader in because of what has happened in both of Maddie and Jake's past. Both have baggage that affects them but they work through it. I enjoyed this story and the characters.
