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 . . .
