This book was about a reputable horse farm in France. The owners daughter and her childhood friend both become vets and have been in love since childhood. When someone tries to destroy the business and ruin their reputation they do everything they can to find the culprit. This was a good book with generous and great characters!

Sophie and Claude are the definition of childhood sweethearts. They’ve known each other since they were young and have been in love for all that time. They are inseparable except for some time spent away at school. These two are adorable even when they are arguing. Sophie wants to get married but Claude wants to wait until he proves himself a man. Sophie is from a wealthy family and Claude is a stable hand who is becoming a vet. When there is an issue with their horses they bond and their love will be tested. This book had the sweetest ending and their story will continue in the next book. I can’t wait to see what will come next for them.

A lovely story of the heart wanting what it can not always have.
These two loved each other from childhood but misunderstandings always put things on hold when there was no need for it to.
I enjoyed reading this story very much but do suggest you read the first book first as it makes so much more sense when reading this one.
The author brought forward an interesting twist on things with this couple that was endearing to read.
