Get Off Your High Horse

Love Down Under Book 3

by Cynthia Terelst

Genre: Contemporary Royal Romance

When two opposites collide, will their differences ignite a spark or send them into turmoil?

Frankie and Sebastian live totally different lives. Lives that are entwined through polo, the sport of kings.

Frankie’s a country girl, working hard toward her dream of turning the family farm around. She needs to endure one more polo season to make that happen. She has no interest in high society or the rich, arrogant riders she has to deal with, especially Sebastian. Her heart may be softening to his charm, openness and love of working with horses, but her brain won’t be convinced. She looks forward to her summer break on the farm, away from him, until her parents decide to invite Sebastian to stay.

Sebastian descends from royalty. Rich and arrogant come with his family title. But that status is something he’d rather avoid, just like he avoids returning home to a life he doesn’t want. Sebastian sees a freedom in Frankie he wishes he had. Her life is full of love, family and horses; something he can only dream of. And her, he can dream of her. But a dream is all it will be, seeing as Frankie does her best to avoid him.

If only he can convince her to look past his title, and see that his hopes and dreams aren’t so different from hers.

When two opposites collide will their differences ignite a spark? You betcha!

This was an entertaining and fun book. The author describes in detail the scenes, the characters and locations. I love the feeling of being immersed in the book feeling a part of the action and characters.

Frankie and Sebastian live totally different lives. Australian farm girl, Frankie’s preconceived opinions about Prince Sebastian set up several amusing situations I really enjoyed.

The prince’s kindness and love of horses forces her to take another look at him and her own prejudices. Sebastian never wanted the royal life, but pressure from his mother, the Queen, to return to his royal duties becomes an unbearable burden.

Frankie knew in her head that it would never work between them, but her heart had other ideas. It didn’t help when her parents invite him for a visit to the family farm.

Will Sebastian walk away from his royal duties for a chance with Frankie? What about the horse rescue? No spoilers here. These are questions to be answered when you buy the book. Which I highly recommend. Get Off Your High Horse. A great entertaining read!

5 well-deserved stars!

“Princes have many talents I’m sure you’re not aware of.”

“Such as?” She turned to face me; her body so close I could feel her breasts pressing against my chest.

“We like to roll around under the covers as well.”

“Is that so?” Her breath brushed against my lips. Her body pushed against mine, sending electricity through me. I imagined her standing there in her lace bra and matching knickers. I wrapped one arm around her back pulling her tightly against me. The other cupped the back of her head, tangled in her pony tail. Her lips met mine and opened and I sought out her tongue. Her hands found their way around my back and held tight.

I couldn’t let her go. I wouldn’t. I’d wanted to kiss her like this for months. This was so much better than what I’d imagined. My erection pressed against her. I deepened the kiss, holding her tight. She sighed into my mouth.

I shouldn’t have kissed her. I shouldn’t have invited her down the road of misery I would soon be facing. Only one of us should have a broken heart.
