Genre: Contemporary Fiction
Publication Date: February 15, 2014
A stranger approaches Karen about boarding a famous horse foaled in her stables, making her instincts go on high alert. She knows for a fact the stallion’s owner would never sell Five Alarm, the US Reining champion worth a hefty ten million dollars. In ten minutes the stranger confirms her worst fears, launching her into weeks of torment at the hands of her kidnappers.
Armed with a spine of steel, she steals a truck and trailer, rescuing another victim, and recovering Five Alarm, but the ordeal is far from over. The kidnapping was a cover up for espionage. Trusted contacts join the fray, and in the end, pay for their loyalty by dying for her safety. Others aren’t so trustworthy, and as the truth is brought to light, she is betrayed yet again.
Safety and freedom come with their own emotional shackles. She had the courage to fight the battle, but can she live with the aftermath of the carnage, or survive the fractures to her mind?

***** I receive an ARC copy for an exchange of an honest review *****
First let me just say that this is the first book that I read from this author.
Oh HOLY SMOKE I just read this book, and I have to say I don't know what I was getting my self into when I stared to read it. I love it and love the characters, this book is full of action, love it the way the author wrote this book, I am gone keep it short cause I don't want to give anything away. All I could say is that this is one book that will have you in an emotional roller coaster.
Karen Barnes is one tough girl, with one tough horse Five Alarm, she has being through so much that its not even funny, every time you turned the page their was something going on, that had her fighting to survive, and to top it all off she was also suffering from PTSD. that has to do with the time that she spend in Iraq, and life just kept throwing things her way but she always get out of it.
I really enjoy reading this book and love it how she is healing from everything that she when through. and how the horses are also healing I love reading about animal specially horses being that I love them, their is so much going on in this book that I wish that I could just put it all down in my review but I cant don't want to spoiled anything.
But I could tell you that you will love and enjoy this book. Author T.J. Loveless THANK YOU for introducing me to this Awesome book and this Amazing characters love it.
Dream Cast
Born in Anchorage, I've lived ... well ... everywhere. From the Arctic Circle to a block from the beaches in Florida. I speak fluent Arkansas Hillbilly, make a mean gumbo, can sew when necessary and am a whiz at packing.
You'll generally find a Muse snuggled to my hip, the other one laying across my shoulders and Editor Kitty staring at the screen, waiting for the red ink to make an appearance. Once it does, he lays across the keyboard purring.
The family brags about the latest compromising position I've been found in, trying to figure out how to truly describe "legs all akimbo" or if falling on the couch could truly land a body in a certain position. They ignore my yelling at characters on the computer screen, and are forgiving when I accidentally write past the time for them to eat. It's one way of teaching the teenager to cook ...
