REVIEW ➞ Off to the Races by Elsie Silver

BLURB ➞

He can’t decide if he hates me or wants me.

Vaughn Harding is my new boss. Getting close to him would be career suicide for a female racehorse trainer, and plain old gossip fuel in this small town. I get a kick out of our verbal sparring, but I swore off his type years ago.

And I’ve got plans.

I’m the new trainer at Gold Rush Ranch and I’ve just been handed a problem horse that I promised to make a winner. I want to put down roots, and I’m not about to let a man distract me. No matter how electric it feels when we lock eyes, or how my body ignites when we touch.

Vaughn’s a vivid reminder of every guy I grew up around. Handsome, rich, entitled–a total media darling. But there’s a sadness in him that I can’t seem to turn my back on. A sensitive side hidden beneath brooding good looks.

The last thing I need is a broken man to put back together, and the last thing he needs is more scandal.

Teasing him for kicks is one thing, but handing over my heart?

I should have known better.


These people. This place. That horse. Sitting together on a hay bale beside the man I love. What could be better?


ARC REVIEW ➞

What an amazing debut novel. This story had some amazing banter, steamy and just makes you feel good.

Billie is a horse trainer and is back after spending some time out of the country and the newest employee at Gold Rush Ranch. Vaughn inherited Gold Rush Ranch after the passing of his grandfather and is dealing with the newfound stress. Needless to say Billie showing up is the last thing he wanted or needs. However, the moment the two of them meet there is a connection between them.

I loved Billie! I love her passion, especially for her job and for horses. Her vibrancy and her personality add to her overall character. It is near impossible not to completely love her. Vaughn spent time growing up on the ranch he now is in charge of. He is much more focused and uptight compared to Billie. However, he just wants the ranch to succeed and do well. I loved the chemistry between the two of them. There is so much push and pull that when they finally give in it is amazing.

If you’re looking for a small town, enemies to lovers romance this is one to check out.
