Fresh Fiction Review

Wild Horses
B.J. Daniels

Reviewed by Sandra Wurman

Romance Contemporary

You know that expression "a team of wild horses couldn't drive me away." Sure one of the main characters tames wild mustangs but I'm convinced B.J. Daniels had a creative reason for this title -- or at least an equally strong one. In many ways WILD HORSES is a story about resilience. Fighting your way through a myriad of problems hopefully with a happy ending to look forward to. Page after page in WILD HORSES Daniels brings us further into what has become a harrowing nightmare -- with a life of its own. A nightmare of events -- that at first glance seem random -- innocuous -- but upon further investigation that couldn't be further from the truth. WILD HORSES is a labyrinth of a tale spanning many years of the Hamilton family. Describing WILD HORSES as a western romantic suspense is limiting the true spectrum of its genius. Daniels fills each part of WILD HORSES with just enough clues that will have the best investigative reader coming up with a list of suspects. But when Daniels starts to truly connect the dots she has your head spinning. Sure good people do bad things but just how far would a person go to fulfill their wishes of fame and fortune. And let's not forget the age old problem of looking for love and the ever present love triangle -- whether real or imagined. WILD HORSES immediately sets the tone for the fast paced story to follow. Olivia Hamilton makes a mistake. Her usual reasonability is short circuited by her irritation with her fiancé Cooper Barnett. This one mistake is going to be life altering affecting not only her relationship with Cooper but with the rest of the Hamilton family which includes her five sister, her father and his wife. Olivia's mother had been declared dead years ago. Her father is on the fast track to becoming a candidate for presidency with the assistance of his efficient politically charged second wife. The Hamilton sisters have somehow managed to endure the sudden death of their young mother and has pulled together as a group to cope with a missing mother, a busy father and a rather bitchy stepmother. As we watch Olivia try to piece through her experience of that terrible night it becomes rather apparent that there is a much larger, more dangerous force at play. One of the problems is trying to determine the actual target along with pointing a finger at the real culprit or culprits. To make matters worse Cooper is having difficulties of his own coming to grips with his relationship with Olivia. To the naked eye Cooper is not at all in the same league with Olivia and her rich family. But Cooper and Olivia are in love. Can their love help them get passed all these barriers to their wish for happily ever after? WILD HORSES by B.J. Daniels is the first in her new series The Montana Hamilton's. WILD HORSES is in short great and should definitely be on your must read. I have already put this series on my must read list. I am already a fan of B.J. Daniels having read many of her books. WILD HORSES is by far the best of the bunch and if the rest of the series follows the lead of this first of the series than we are in for a treat. WILD HORSES should definitely be on the must read list for Daniels fans and a great introduction for new readers to this amazing author.

SUMMARY

It took only one impusive moment on an empty two-lane highway to cost her everything. A man's responsible for his own prosperity—especially if he's Cooper Barnett, the most determined cowboy in the West. No one knows what he sacrificed to claim a piece of Beartooth, Montana, for himself and his beautiful fiancée, Livie. No one knows what he's willing to do for love…until a stranger's twisted vendetta threatens the happy ending they should've had long ago. One fateful mistake isn't the only secret Livie Hamilton is keeping from her fiancé. Victimized during a treacherous blizzard by a man she thought she could trust, she's pregnant…but unsure who the father is. With an unknown blackmailer threatening to expose her, she must confess to Cooper and trust he'll still protect her. But when the truth falls into place, she may lose the only man she's ever loved—or worse.
