Black Horse tells the story of Colton McClain and Aderi Ford. These two have been close friends since childhood. They had both suffered loss and pain at an early age. The tragedy they both experienced brought them closer together and created a bond that will prove to be unbreakable.
I loved Colt’s determination. He was not going to allow the actions of his father control his life. He is willing to rise above the evil and not live in his father’s shadow. His love for Averi is an inspiration. He was the type of person who believed in unconditional love and he was not about to let anything, not even his father to come between him and his love for her.
Averi has been traumatized since the day she witnessed the murder of her parents and brother the hands of Tom McClain. However, she did not allow this to prevent her from living her life to the fullest. Her love for Colton proved that she did not hold him responsible for his father’s actions, unlike the rest of her family. She is a fighter and has no fear when it came to facing her demons.
The secondary characters brought an added flavor to the story. My favourite is Randy, Averi’s brother. He is quite entertaining and he had me in stitches just reading about his actions. I can’t wait to read his story when it is published. As strange as it may sound, I found Tom McClain rather intriguing. I agree he is evil, but I could not help admiring how he was always one step ahead of his enemies.
I thought the plot was believable, but there was one aspect of the story I found a bit unclear. The relationship between Tim and Shelly just popped out of the blue. I am not sure when those became an item as it was not explained.
Black Horse is a story of jealousy, love and revenge. It depicts how one does not have to allow the evil actions of one’s parents to damage ones future. We help determine our future by the choices we make. While reading this story I experienced a myriad of emotions. It kept me entertained and it had me turning the pages as I was keen to find out what was going to happen next as such I had a hard time putting it down.
I enjoyed this story and I am looking forward to the next book in the series. This is my first experience with this author and I am looking forward to more of her work.
This is a great story and if you love romance that is mixed with action and suspense, then get yourself a copy of Black horse.
