How did Audrey Griffin--a blacksmith by trade-- become a wine hostess? Sure, she's all about "seizing the day," but she's a tomboy, not a booth bunny. Granted, her makeover has transformed her into a hottie--but when you're working with a straitlaced Aussie god like vintner Shane Preston, a little fashion goes a long way Unfortunately, no-strings-attached doesn't work for Shane. Something about Audrey makes him want more from their fiery attraction--despite the fact that "commitment" leaves Audrey shakier than a horse on Rollerblades. Is she balking at love...or simply biding her time?
This is just one of 8 great books they put out in the "Thoroughbred Legacy" series. I bought them out of order but soon managed to get all of the first 8 books. Very good script and very good writing by all writers involved. Can't wait for the final 4 in December.
engaging contemporary horseracing romance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Blacksmith Audrey Griffith is thinking about quitting Kentucky's Quest Stables. However, one of the owners asks her to do a favor; accompany family member, vintner, Shane Preston, as he attends wine shows throughout the continent. She agrees as the all expense trip sounds like heaven although she has a qualm that Shane prefers a real assistant not some bimbo candy or working class muscle babe as he perceives her to be. When they first meet, each feels the attraction. Shane is especially euphoric that the farrier is accompanying him as he knows almost immediately he wants her for more than just a one night stand. Half way in love with Shane, Audrey cannot commit to any long term relationship. Shane realizes if he wants to win the prize of the love of his life, he will need to be patient like he is with winemaking. With an engaging contemporary wine and horseracing backdrops though the time at the stables and tracks are somewhat limited; BIDING HER TIME is Audrey's show as the impish heroine is feisty and tough on the outside, but extremely vulnerable and susceptible to hurt inside. Shane is a solid male lead, but win, place and show belongs to the wonderful female. Harriet Klausner
