This is a great book, angst free, no big misunderstandings, no phony problems, and even Andrew being in a supervising position didn't cause any real issue in the book. I was a bit reluctant to read this because of the BDSM, since I am not a big fan, but it is done so well and naturally in this book it wasn't an issue for me at all! So, thanks to Anke for finally getting this one off my TBR pile and into my favorites! :)

Enjoyable story, I just wish there was more of it. Erin’s an aspiring novelist, paying her way through her first semester of college in New York after being cut off. Her grandmother gave her tuition and inheritance to the one-time stable boy from their family’s racehorse farm. Hunter and Erin were friends once, but haven’t spoken in years. So guess who shows up in her creative writing class on the day she debuts her short story. The work she submitted for her class’ critique is about an heiress’s tryst with the stable boy. Since this is one of the author’s romantic dramas and not one of her romantic comedies, there is more to the story. Unfortunately, too much time was spent on the part that appears to be a romantic comedy. Erin and Hunter continue to one up each other with stories that hit a little too close to home. They confide in their roommates and try to contain the fact that they knew each other before, and in fact lived on the same farm since they were twelve, from the rest of their class. When they do talk their conversations reveal that they’ve both paid too much attention to the other. All well and good, except that when we get to the drama, the story’s over. Sure, it got a little convoluted, but it had heart so I feel a little cheated. I liked Erin and Hunter together and their reactions, hers southern spitfire and his southern charm. I also liked their back story and could sympathize with them as kids while they frustrated me as college students. I could have used a few more pages of them coming clean, or at least working through some stuff. I liked some of the secondary characters too, and actually wanted more on Erin and pigheaded Manohar battling it out. And what about Grandmother? I did like that the ending was hopeful. I didn’t like that it was so abrupt. A little more closure leading up to that last page would have been nice.
