Hate

There’s something about a horse barn in the early morning hours that makes my heart full. I love walking into the barn hearing the horses chewing on the sweet alfalfa and feeling their contentment. This is where I feel most like myself, this is where I am no longer Paige Vandenberg, daughter of millionaires or the chubby rich girl. I am just me and I am free. 

I have been raised around horses my whole life. My parents own a large horse farm in the picturesque Dutch town of Lynden, Washington. Lynden sits just a few miles south of the Canadian border and truly is a small town. My family is one of the oldest families and we own or have owned practically everything. You can’t drive down the main road and not see Vandenberg scrolled on something. For many people I’m sure this sounds wonderful, but to me it’s a prison. One in which I fully intend to break free of next year when I leave for college. I will miss my family and of course my horses but I will not miss the people, and especially not resident bad boy Cutter Daniels. I hate him.

Paige is a beautiful curvy girl. She lives a life of privilege, but she isn't snobby. The local hottie and his brother have tormented Paige for as long as she can remember. She has no idea why they hate her, but they do. She has always had a crush on the younger brother Cutter, he just does something to her that she can't explain. When she goes off to college she finds out he is going to be there too, she just hopes he doesn't run into him, ever. Well, one thing leads to another and they start to form a friendship, but every time Paige thinks things are going well Cutter pulls away and says they can't be friends. Not only is she confused but so am I. After a bit of dancing around Cutter, takes the plunge and claims Paige. Things are great, but I am on the edge the whole time waiting for the other shoe to drop. Back home there is a brother that still hates her and her ex that is Cutters best friend so things have a potential to get ugly. When tragedy strikes and they both go home together it causes a shit storm. Things get better to just fall apart again. Things end so badly I can't stand it I have to dive into book two "Love" and hope that they get their HEA that I know they both deserve but it's not looking good. The sex scenes are tame- nothing detailed or raunchy.
