"I never really considered horseback riding to be sexy but the way the author portrays it, I might just take it up this year! All the smoldering adjustments to those stirrups and the hero riding off with the heroine in his arms! Another winner for Sandi Haddad!"—Joyce Lavene, Lagniappe Book Reviews

"Sweet, with a bit of sass...the reader can feel the love Cassy has for the kids in her hospital ward and experience the wonder of riding, as well as the thrill of David's embraces and kisses. Be sure to look for A Stable Relationship."—Martha McDonnough, VCRW Novel Notes

...Suddenly David was next to her, placing one large hand on General's neck, and the other over Cassy's own fingers where she grasped the reins.

"Hello, Miss Collins." His mouth quirked slightly as he looked into her eyes. "It's okay," he said, apparently noticing her sudden intake of breath. "I won't bite."

Cassy glanced at him quickly and saw his eyes sparkled with humor. She nodded and took a deep breath as she tried to ignore the excitement coursing through her. Her heart raced as her eyes locked with his. She swallowed and sat up a little straighter.

"Since I had a preview of your riding when you didn't know I was watching, I can point out what I've already seen."

"Uh-oh," Cassy groaned with a nervous laugh. "That wasn't exactly one of my better rides."

"Except for the way it ended, it wasn't that bad." He walked to the rear of her horse, studying them both with a critical eye. "You have a good seat and hands, but need to work on your legs." He walked up to stand even with her knee on her right side. Placing his left hand on her thigh just above the top of her boot and grabbing her ankle with his right, he turned her leg slightly in toward General's side.

Cassy ignored the thrill of excitement at his touch and forced herself to listen to his words.

"You need to concentrate on keeping your leg right there—no daylight between you and the horse. Keep your toes in and heels down. Don't worry, I'll be giving everyone exercises to help. Although you're already a good rider, I think I can teach you quite a few things."
