I have a degree in equine studies from U of K, on
No one calls it that but oh kay!
Ivy’s sweet, sugary-like scent.
I wish they would just say perfume scent makes me think of Edward in Twilight lol there’s no way she has a naturally sweet smell unless you’re a vampire or something paranormal!
Your employee? I said that once too. Something about thinking you shouldn’t that makes you want to look at her even more?
Next book needs to be non-workplace lol
The Kentucky Derby isn’t the most lucrative financially, but it’s the pinnacle, and following in my dad’s footsteps of entering a prize thoroughbred seems inevitable.
It’s very lucrative if you win, because of stud fees.
the annual Nashville Breeding Sale.
Thry live in KY where there ARE breeding auctions. Nashville however does not sell horses by auction. This author's weird lack of research may annoy me.
he’s a proverbial manwhore.
Ew
the devil himself, aka Brad.
Lol
This is why I never do things without thinking them through.
And don't lie?
she bends forward to reach into her bag for something and her cleavage makes a spellbinding appearance
Lots of cleavage in this book
“Sorry, but shit, you had to go and find the hottest horse trainer on the planet and then tell us all she’s off limits?”
You work together!
I avert my eyes but fuck, tight, low-cut T-shirts and cleavage are a man’s biggest weakness.
This guy is clearly a boobs man.
“These yearlings are strong and so well bred, I’m ready to train day and night. I’m determined.” “Well then, I suppose that’s all we need,” I bite out sarcastically. “It actually is.” Ivy cocks a brow at me. “One thing you may not know about me is when I want something, I get it.”
whiskey
I hope it's bourbon whiskey it's bad enough you're going to TN to buy a derby horse.
Every thought in my mind floats into the air like bubbles rising in a glass of freshly poured prosecco when Wade walks into the living room wrapped in nothing but a towel that hangs low on his narrow hips.
What looks like tree branches stretch over the planes of his skin, some sort of tribal designs weave through them and his spine is etched in one single column of armored writing.
“All things share the same breath, the beast, the trees, the man.”
Girl you took the time to read his tattoo? xD
She’s wearing another pair of Levi’s and a long-sleeved hunter-green sweater that hangs off her shoulders, which are fucking stunning by the way.
Her shoulders are stunning.
Always practical, always in control, and always thinking of everything. I’m starting to realize these are the cornerstones of Wade’s personality.
“It takes a bit but when they get together, damn. I had to wake Nash up before I took care of myself.” She laughs, and I laugh with her.
tmi
“The fuck are the rest of my Pop-Tarts?” “Oh shoot, was I not supposed to move them?” I ask innocently as CeCe falls back on the bed in laughter. “I’m not sure what cabinet I put them in, you may have to check them all.” I giggle.
She's pranking him?
For some reason, just this once, I can’t help but give up and laugh with them, maybe I do need to loosen the fuck up a little. Nah, fuck that.
“Four tipsy-ass women, that have a combined weight of four hundred and fifty pounds,
They are tiny
professional.
I hate this
“Let’s be tourists then,” I say. I’ve been here before and seen it all but somehow with Ivy everything feels brand-new.
“I’ll tell you a secret, I don’t think my smiling today has anything to do with what city I’m in, Trouble.”
“And she’s a filly,” I add. Everyone knows fillies rarely win the Derby.
Brad
Why does Brad have to have a weak handshake and blonde hair lol
might have killed him,
Yeah that’s not good…
Jack Daniels
Not bourbon as you called it on the last page but you are in Nashville so have at it.
“I’m going to need to hear the words, Ivy. I don’t fuck around with consent.” Of course he doesn’t. “Tell me this is what you want,” he commands.
Just once, to get acquainted with my new home.
His new home xD
brat,”
Can an adult be a brat?
“If you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward,” by Martin Luther King
“Fuck, I change my mind. I’d never want to fuck the sass out of you anyway, Trouble. I think it’s my favorite thing about you.”
lol so much better than bratty though!
All I can think about is making up an excuse to sneak Ivy into the nearest lockable room and fuck her into another dimension.
This is where these type of books lose me, this is so stupid. You’re an adult with real world responsibilities, I’m sure you’d be able to focus on that! And what makes me mad is this is the whole point of the book getting their racehorse and he’s acting like he doesn’t care anymore. Way to lose your whole personality 🙄
She’s like a drug I’m hooked on and can’t get enough of after just one night.
Yeah you’re basically Rhys and Feyre when the mating bond snapped in but this is not a fantasy!
“HIP 211, Robicheaux Ranch Incorporated, Louisiana ‘Angel’s Wings,’ ” the auctioneer says. I take in the shape of the filly as her stats and family bloodlines are read. I already know them, by memory now. I knew this was our horse the moment I saw the way Ivy looked at her yesterday.
Awww okay that is sweet.
easy jog.
Horses don’t jog.
“It’s my birthright,”
Uhhh
Bring in more income by running this place as a destination as well as a ranch, we have the land to add a hospitality side.”
Grumpy personality but wants to do hospitality
“Thought about it all through dinner
Ew
oblivion.
Ew
You seem all unapproachable and nonchalant about everything and everyone but underneath it all—figuratively and literally—you’re
you’re hot, insanely hot, actually, and when you let it out, you have kind of an incredible, addictive personality. People might actually like you, if you let them.”
Haven't seen much of his personlity once the sex started.
“I don’t buy it; I get the feeling you just don’t want to let people in. If you do they might let you down, like Janelle did.” A moment of deafening silence passes as he rinses the conditioner, I find something so sexy about the fact that this rugged cowboy has the matching sandalwood and rose hip conditioner in his shower. Just as I start to worry I got too personal, he answers. “And I get the feeling you’re not used to people helping you with anything, it makes you nervous when they try. You might get too used to it. Sometimes it’s okay to let people take care of you.” I grin at his astute

Interesting choice of words
Cole reaches out a hand and passes Ginger his big navy parka. “Anyone ever told you to come more prepared, woman?” he bites out as she takes it eagerly from him, wrapping it around herself and pulling it tight. “Why would I need a big uncomfortable coat? I walked from my house to the car, from the car to your door. I forgot we were coming out here to watch Angel dash from the gate.” “Spring,” Cole corrects. “And that’s a piss-poor answer. What if your car breaks down?” Ginger thinks for a moment as if that possibility has never dawned on her. “I don’t know. I live my life one moment at a

Whether Sam comes back or not, I’m making a place for Ivy here—any job, any task she wants. Hell, if she asked me to quit running the ranch so she could do it I would. Anything to keep her nestled into my sofa just like this every night when I come home.
Yeah, no!!! Makes no sense why she would do that.
Before Ivy, I was only existing day to day, going through the motions, I wasn’t living, she’s my missing piece. There’s nothing more I could ever possibly want or need than these simple moments with her. A life with her. Ivy’s weaved her way into the threads of my heart, she’s been training it this whole time without me even realizing it. To love again, to take a chance. To believe in a future, a future with her, however that looks. One where I let myself be happy and I’m not afraid to let her love me back.
My heartbeat accelerates and squeezes in my chest as I realize there are two things I’ve never been more certain of than I am at this very moment. One: I’m wildly in love with Ivy. I not only love her, I need her, the way the moon needs the sun to set every night just so it can rise. Two: There’s no me without her anymore, she just doesn’t know it yet.
Okay Bella Swan. Just missing the vampire part.
