The Horsemaster's Daughter Wiggs_ Susan
Book starts out with Hunter and he raised horses. The latest is very brutal and he knows he needs some help to tame this one.
With help from a boy they get the contained horse on a small barge and take him to where they hope the horsemaster lives. He'd be the one to tame him.
He arrives and only finds a woman-his daughter. Her father is gone.
Like learning about the wild horses and how they show up to be close to her.
He watches as the next day Hunter sees the horse catching her but she wants a chance with the horse.
She had been taught by the expert, her father and she knew she had to take her time with the horse.
Love the relationship they discover on the roof.
They see into each other's soul and she sees he needs a new wife and he sees she is simple but connected to the horses-has no idea about the outside world.

Slaves wonder to the island and she knows what she needs to do-follow in her father's footsteps so they can continue their journey.

Sexual scenes. She is able to learn more about her father and mother. Hunter also learns of his wifes last days and her private secret past.
He keeps his promise and sets her free to go to CA, her father's real dream.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

I don't ordinarily review two books at once, especially two by different authors, but these are both reference books in a sense, and both deal with the rules of etiquette in Australia.

In my opinion, given my own demographic, I found The Penguin Book Of Etiquette by Marion Von Adlerstein  the superior book.  It covers everything and is the more obvious successor to Emily Post for the Aussies.  I've found this super helpful for those odd occasions when culture shock leaves me scratching my head.

Charm School: The Modern Girl's Complete Handbook Of Etiquette by Kathy Buchanan though, would be the better book for older teens, or those leaving home for the first time for university, first job, home, etc.  This is the book for the twentysomethings and it's frank, honest, and slightly amusing in style; much chattier and looser than Von Adlerstein's voice.  Note: This book is specifically aimed at women.

( I can't get the Witching Hour Collection to show up at BookLikes, so link below! )

I've been busy being sick, among other holiday celebrations! So I'm way behind on catching up here at BookLikes. I can't remember if I said HOT RODDIN' TO HELL, the 2nd in the Charm School series, was available, but at least I'm letting you know that BODY CHASE is. ;) 

I also have one Charm School short story live plus three of FAERIE TALES FOR SAPPHIC GIRLS, which is a series consisting (so far), of LADY FROST, THE GIRL WHO SET FORTH TO LEARN FEAR, and FAIR & RAVEN HAIR. I guess I'll promote those, later. (turns into a statue).

Please enjoy if you take advantage of the sales!
