Sweet, steamy romantic thriller and that cover…the perfect Michael!
This book was wonderful. Had me on the edge of my seat many times. You’ll love Michael and Katie…
Michael is “Irish scruff” until a windfall occurs literally out of the blue which paves his way to America in 1953. By 1961 he’s wealthy and is interested in buying property with a stable of thoroughbred horses in Kentucky. What he doesn’t expect is the property owners’ beautiful daughter, Kathleen. She is younger but spirited which appeals to Michael. What happens next is thrilling, intriguing and sometimes sweet and seriously steamy. What happens when an unexpected guest appears on their doorstep?
There were so many great moments: amusing, poignant, steamy, sad, scary and mental-fist-pump moments. If you like romantic thrillers, you will enjoy this book. I volunteered to review an ARC of this book through Booksprout and it gets 5+ Stars.
NOTE to Author: I’d love an epilogue a few years into their future…
This is the first book i have read by Caleb Borne & it won’t be the last I loved it. The characters Michael & Katie are wonderful & their story really draws you in. It’s a beautiful love story but has plenty of drama. Definately recommend this book.

Soooo, I’m not really a fan of books based in the past and I almost gave up on this book a couple times…ok several times. I’ve read works by this author before and didn’t want to give up at the 8% mark. Needless to say, it turned out to be better than I originally thought!! I found myself getting involved with the characters and wanted to jump thru my reader to get to Colin and Michael both…they were jerks in their own way. Michael redeemed himself by taking control of the situations that brought trouble for him and Katie, and he got his wish in the end. Glad I pushed thru this unexpected journey…

This action packed story draws you in from page one. Michael leaves his country headed to the US in search of his dreams. His adventures will gain him notoriety but Katy will become the love of his life and the true meaning of dreams fulfilled. This story is filled with deception, betrayal and loss of what once was. In the end Michael and Katie will come full circle to embrace their happily ever after.
