Texas Ranch Romance #5
Her Billionaire to Remember
Casandra Hilton, a New York debutant and East Coast heiress is found floating on a bed of seaweed and wood wreckage off the coast of South America. But when asked for her name or any kind of identification, she responds with a blank stare. Even though she has survived, she has no memory of her former life and any attempt she makes to remember fills her with fear. The kind Uruguayan family that took her in soon becomes dependent on her innate abilities with horses, particularly one troublesome stallion.
Shane Stapley, a Texas billionaire, has traveled to Argentina to purchase a champion stallion from the Cortez ranch. Early one morning he finds Casandra dealing with a stallion who refuses to leave the stables where they keep the mares. Everything about her draws him closer until he learns she cannot guarantee her heart is free to fall in love.
The attraction is obvious, but the risk is great. Will their patience pay off in a match between them or end in sorrow when they learn they must part?

An fantastic clean, fast and romantic read. This unique plot had me pulled in from the beginning feeling her fear and pain. I really enjoyed the mystery and suspense around not knowing who she was and where she came from. I was really on the edge of my seat with suspense and a sense of fear from the unknown as time went on. It moves at a fast paced and is interesting as you followed how naturally horses, their training and care knowledge came like second nature to Larina but she didn't know why or how. The characters are interesting, believable and realistic. Shane and Larina meet at the Cirtez ranch and are attracted to one another and bond over the love of horses. Can a future be made?

A case of amnesia eased by a horse? How could this be! Kiki was found in the water with no memory of who she was, where she came from but a difficult horse, Caballo, was eased by her talking and petting him. Was this an indication of who she had been. Interactions with buyers of horses helped her remember that she had a brother and knew about training and riding horses. One buyer brought her and Caballo back to the states with the promise he would help her get her memory back. Was he successful? This book is a must read!

LOVED this book
A wonderful romance story. Casandra had amnesia and didn’t know how she ended up in South America. However, in the process she found a family who accepted her as they found her. She also met a young man she fell in love with but didn’t know if she was free to fall in love or if she was already committed to someone else. The story was written so that it was spellbinding and kept your interest the see how things would turn out.

Discovered barely alive floating on flotsam by fishermen in coastal waters off Uruguay, a young woman is given the name Larina Maressa (meaning seagull from the sea) by her rescuers. Distraught as she is to remember nothing of her past, Larina finds peace working with their horses, something she has surely done before. Her meetings with two American buyers persuades her to make the move to the USA to see if she can discover who she is. Loved this romantic suspense story.

I really enjoyed this book. It had an unusual story line and moved through several locations. I have not felt so involved with a character like this in a long time. I also enjoyed the addition of the horses and learning more about them. I hope you will give it a try! (I received an advance copy from the author. The opinions here are my own.)

Charming
This is a charming romance with two delightful main characters; Shane and Larina. Drawn together over the love of horses they are also attracted to one another. There's only one problem. Larina has no idea who she really is. She is suffering from amnesia and until she can recover her memory she cannot commit to a relationship with Shane.

A great story for a television series.
Sophia Summers writes a great and imaginative story with the best characters and with Shane and. Sandi being the best of the best. I liked that the settings varied with their traveling from the U.S. To South America and back again. I, especially like epilogues, which this book had.

Good
I enjoyed this story. As I like equestrian tales and mysteries with people of warmth, integrity and generosity, this story was bound to " hit the spot". An enjoyable read with a good ending.

A fun story
This was a fun story that is a very quick read. I loved the descriptions of the horses and their personalities probably more than the rest of the story. This is a clean romance.

Very intriguing given her amnesia
Just because you had no memory, you could do things you were accustomed to doing, by rote. She gained many friends, she considered as her family

A sweet heartwarning romantic novel.
Quite an intriguing page turner. Previous reviewers have essentially covered the story itself but I can add that it was a flawlessly written novel that I read in one sitting. Personally I would have enjoyed a bit more sexual chemisty but it was still a great read. I received an ARC & this is my honest & voluntary review.
