Some random thoughts:

I had some ups and downs while going through this book. One minute I was enjoying it, the next I was hating it. Trick was pretty interesting at first, but then he kind of mellowed out for me. The same thing happened with Cami, but she became quite the idiot at the end of the book.

Their love formed a bit too abruptly for my liking. They lust over each other for sure, but we never really see them falling in love. They don't talk and develop a real, strong relationship. I didn't see a real connection between them, and when they started declaring their love for each other, I was like, "Err... where exactly did that come from?"

There's all this sexual tension between Cami and Trick, and they get hot and heavy teasing each other, everything's all sensual, but when they finally got to the sex, the book just skims over it. Tbh, I was very disappointed with that. I love when books get down and dirty and sexy! I was surprised though, since in M. Leighton's Madly series, it actually goes more in depth with the sex than this book, and that series is YA!

Despite all this, I didn't hate the book. It's more of a 'whatever' book for me.

Some good things though, were the horse plot and the angsty bit at the end. I've rarely, if ever, read a book that had to do with horses or horse racing or any of that stuff, so it was refreshing to read. And, angst is always a plus for me. Don't know why, but I just love angsty books.

P.S. I highly recommend 
  Easy
 by Tammara Webber if you want to read something of this same genre (New Adult) but is much, much better.

From the author of the Bad Boy Novels Down to You and Up to Me Passion as hot as midnight in the South and love as wild as the horses they tame. The darling daughter of a champion Thoroughbred breeder, Camille “Cami” Hines has a pedigree that rivals some of her father’s best horses. Other than feeling a little suffocated at times, Cami thought she was happy with her boyfriend, her life and her future—until she met Patrick Henley. “Trick” blurs the lines between what Cami wants and what is expected of her—and he just happens to be so sexy she can’t keep her hands off him. While they both know that Trick would lose his much needed job on the ranch if anyone finds out, they can’t resist the lure of their scorchingly hot encounters. But when Trick stumbles upon a note from his father, it triggers a series of revelations that could ruin what he and Cami have worked so hard to overcome. It turns out there’s more to Trick’s presence at the ranch than either of them knew, and secrets with the power to tear them apart…
