Season has proven her skills as a racehorse trainer, and is about to start a job at the mysterious Ty Masters' yard. And domineering Ty... doesn't know what he's in for.
I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this book.
As I am, first and foremost, a horsey person (albeit in the dressage world, not racing), I would like to say how much I liked the horsey side of this story. The facts were all correct, and the author made me believe that her characters (both two-legged and four-legged) were real and absolute pros.
I loved the story of Black Warrior and his progeny, as much as the romance. Following Sky Hunter on his journey into racing history was a real, fully-formed plot, not just a device for Season and Ty to bond. I was cheering for the horses as much as anything.
OK, onto the mere humans.
I really liked our heroine, Season. She's out to prove that she can train horses with the best of them. She has worked hard to get where she is, and puts the horses' welfare above all else.
Season also happens to have 'a touch of the fae' around her, being descended from druids. I liked how it's just a fact of her background, and her use of magic is subtly woven into what she does. Season is very strict on what she can and cannot do, and would never abuse her gift.
Ty Masters is a suitable love interest, and foil for Season. He is used to being feared and obeyed by his staff, and he is often clashing with his new trainer, as she fails to back down to his demands.
Underneath it all, he has a good heart, and is very fond of his horses. Ty only wants the best for them, but is used to being the Master amongst humans.
The not-so-good.
As often happens in romance books, the story falls flat when they finally fall into a relationship. Or at least, flat compared to the flare that went before it, with the sexual tension.
As Season and Ty are technically together from half-way, it changes the tone of the book.
The horsey-plot was all good, except towards the end. There's a mystery as to who might want to hurt the racehorses, or prevent them from running. It was a good mystery, but I felt the result was a bit of a Scooby-doo villain. Oh hey, it's this person nobody knows existed, and is shoved in to play a part.
Overall, this was a very good book, and I would recommend checking it out!

Wild Whispers is a very intriguing novel that is full of drama and romance. A lovely romance happens right when they least expect it. While their main focus should be on the horses at hand, they cannot hide their feelings for each other and a budding romance begins. Summers has written a flawless love story that is a true page turner that is full of love, family, hope, romance, friendships, and happy endings. Overall, a remarkable read that I recommend to anyone who loves a good romance novel.

If you like race horses, a ranch then you found the right book.
The story was fantastic, the characters were even better, and the story weaved just the right way that one could see the ranch and the work that went into training horses. As Ty Masters prepares to hire a new trainer Season Moriarty, now she is part a Druid, part fey but not a witch, but she can make the horses run and know what they need and what they want.
She also can turn Ty's life upside down and she does. Even when she has to explain to him what she can do, after seeing her work her magic.
Mysterious threats to Ty’s racehorses bring him and Season together in a race against the clock. As the stakes for the Triple Crown rise, and the mystery of who wants to destroy Ty deepens, so does the undeniable interest and fiery sparks between them.

This story was a very fine tale of the struggles to create superb race horses.
When Ty invites Season to interview for a job as his horse trainer, he assumes it’s a fellow. Nor is he happy to discover Season is a beautiful woman. His prior marriage to a beautiful woman has left him gun shy.
However, Season is too special for Ty nor readers not to fall in love with. She claims her ancestors came from Faes and Druids. Crazy, right? Only she does seem to have special abilities and the ability to control and understand not just horses, but all animals.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. There is a very fine love story, but even before Ty and Season realize they are falling in love, dangers abound! So they have to fall in love trying to keep their horses safe. I especially loved Season. She is the only person who is willing to put Ty in his place, and she does so by threatening to turn him into a toad.
I won’t share all the high drama, but I highly recommend this story, if you like a well written, engaging tale.
