reviewed on + 22 more book reviews


This is the first in a three part series called the Blackstones of Virginia. This story is about a family of African-American horse racers. In the first story you meet Ryan Blackstone the eldest brother of the family and the resident veterinarian. Ryan is a divorcee with a young son who meets the new Pre-school teacher Kelly Andrews. Kelly is a widowed woman who has come to the farm to start her life over after the death of her husband. This is a simple love story, with a slow burn. The couples passion builds to a slow and steady fire. A very good opening book, I like it.

NEVER SAY NEVER TO PASSION
After his wife walked out on him and his son, veterinarian Ryan Blackstone swore never to love again. Hed tried to dislike beautiful Kelly Andrewsthe teacher hired to run Blackstone Farms Day Schoolon general principle, but failed. And it wasnt long before the sultry widow had ignited a firestorm of emotions that was burning a sensuous trailstraight to his heart!

Ryan had shattered Kellys visions of a lonely future since that first mind-bending, knee-weakening kiss. Before she knew it, he was oh-so-close to tearing down her defenses. Even as Kelly wonderedwas what Ryan felt for her love or just lust?
