Whitney Benedict knows what she wants when looking for a man. She travels to California to make an offer on behalf of the Austrian government for Gaberiel Mendoza's famous Lipizzan horses, and falls in love with a whole family. She finds that knowing what you want isn't always the same as finding it. The book is well written and held my attention. I liked the characters and became involved in their struggles.

A lovely story and very well written. Interesting facts about the famous Spannish Lipizzan horses (I saw them once in Spain and they are amazing!).

The best views are seen from the heart . . .
Cool, gracious, international relations attorney Whitney Benedict hasn't completely given up on marriage, but she does have a checklist of qualities for the man of her dreams: affluence, intelligence, good looks and absolutely no prior baggage.

So when she travels to California to make an offer on behalf og the Austrian government for Gabriel Mendoza's famous Lipizzan horses, no one is more surprised than Whitney at the effect Gabe, his children, his stepchildren, his ex-wife, his mother and the rest of his zany family have on her heart.

When an accident prolongs her stay, she settles into the routines of the "hacienda" with every intention of organizing this dysfunctional family, only to find that horses and children have a way of rearranging the best-laid plans and that a checklist isn't always the final measure for happiness.
