gah, you gotta watch out for those ruggedly handsome rebels

Goddamnit, I am whispering in unironic awe:

A rising star in the modeling world, Margot Radcliffe hasnt forgotten the hurt that sent her running from Rosewood, the beautiful Virginia horse farm where she was raised. Travis Maher, a ruggedly handsome rebel and gifted horse trainer with a hard-knock past, had once captured Margots heartonly to break it. But when tragedy strikes her family, Margot is forced to set aside her skyrocketing career and return to a place she never expected to see again, where the legs that everyone admires belong to Thoroughbreds, not supermodels. Now Rosewood Farms success depends on Margot, and the only person she can count on for help is the very man who so ruthlessly rejected her love all those years ago.

BEST NOVEL SUMMARY EVER, Y/Y???

I’m writing a press release for a play right now, and I am NOT BEING FUNNY when I say that that paragraph is insanely inspiring. That is FANTASTIC. Also, the woman who wrote this book is going to be at my local indie bookstore to sign copies of it tonight. I know if I go, and if I get a copy, it’ll turn out to be just some stupid romance novel about horses and shit. Plus I’ll feel silly or guilty, like I’m being some mean jerk who’s making fun of what the unwashed masses are reading these days. So I’m not going to go. It’s better this way. *Looks soulfully off into the distance as the western breeze artfully musses her hair, bites back a single diamond tear, gathers up her small son and prepares to face the future, alone, but stronger [oh wait there's a handsome fireman coming! phew!].*

I’m using a lot of block quotes lately. FASCINATING.
