CLICHES
She can't stand them.
Hates them.
Refuses to be one.
But...
Tessa Brooks is strong-willed, sassy, and determined, on the brink of dominating in the testosterone-fueled sport of horse racing. She’s spent her life avoiding the norm, staying true to herself to achieve her ultimate goals.
Her relationship with Jace Hitchen, her brother's best friend, just might be the biggest cliche of all. Over the years, he’s been her protector, her annoyance, her confidante, her crush. But giving in to what she's really wanted for the last ten years could be the very thing that destroys everything she's worked for and wanted. Can Tessa achieve her dreams for the future, but still hold on to the past?

Oh, Tessa and Jace!! How these two warmed my heart, and made me laugh all at the same time. I loved the history and friendship that built them, and only served to strengthen the bond they shared. Jace made me melt from the first chapter when he sees baby Tessa, I mean how sweet is he!!
And Tessa, talk about one fierce chick. A lone woman in what is mainly a man's sport, this girl has all of the grit of twelve men twice her size, plus she is Lawrence's sister!! Definitely a force to be reckoned with. So, you can only imagine that she gave Jace as good as she got!! She kept him on his toes throughout the entire book, but did it in a way that only made him fall harder for her.
That's one of the things that I love about C.M.'s books- she brings out every flaw in all of her characters, but is sure to show that their mates continue to love them in spite of the things that would turn most away. I feel as though her work has that underlying theme of self-acceptance, and Jock most especially so, as Tessa could have gotten so easily discouraged by her male counterparts, and just threw in the towel, but with the love and support (once he figured out the right way to do it) of Jace, she truly shined!
I cannot recommend this series enough, as I've read and reviewed each one, and loved them all. I'm talking 5 star reads, full of love and passion. Do not miss out on this one, and if you haven't read the others in the series, pick those up now too. I don't think you'll be disappointed!!

CM Foss is a hopeless romantic with a love for the written word. When she was little, her mom would ration her books so she wouldn’t go through them too quickly. It didn’t matter, she would just re-read. She’s always been an avid equestrian, competing in the top levels of Three Day Eventing by age seventeen. CM now resides in Northern Virginia with her husband and kids where they own and operate their own equestrian business, as well as raising grass-fed, sustainable meats. She doesn’t have this thing people call “free time”, but she does spend a weird amount of time writing, reading, playing with her kids, milking goats, and drinking wine, while avoiding bananas at all costs. Other books by CM Foss include Shiver, Swoon, and City Beautiful.
