Mesmerized by a Horse Whisperer is another book I recently downloaded on Kindle to read and review. It was free from a recent horse search on Amazon. It took a little while for me to realise but the horse person in this story was the female protagonist. I had assumed it would be the male so was pleasantly surprised to find otherwise!

Young Cate (Catori) is an Indian woman who was adopted by an American family at the age of eight. This story is a historical romance. Fast forward fifteen years and the young woman now known by locals as Cate finds herself as accepted as she can hope for in the small, growing town of Fairbrush.

The arrival of her adopted sister’s cousin Riley Shaw suddenly turns everything on its head. Cate can admit that Riley is attractive and has a captivating personality. But as the young man’s wariness of the Indian woman turns to curiosity, she eagerly accepts the challenge to teach him to ride horses and care for them.

Riley cannot deny his attraction to the clever horse whisperer.  He is pleased in time to find it is returned but as the two work together to set up the business Riley came to Fairbrush to start, Cate can’t help but question if her happiness will last.

Mesmerized by a Horse Whisperer

As Riley’s wealthy background catches up with him, Cate is dismayed to learn of his father’s racism and control over his son.  Mesmerized by a Horse Whisperer is an entertaining read where horses are regularly featured.  Throw in a focus on Indian tribal culture, women working and the fashion world with a delightful Frenchman and you have an enjoyable read. The romance is lovely and the story ends beautifully.
