A Photo Finish

This is Violet Easton's story. Having read Chestnut Creek (and loving it) I wanted to see where Violet came into it. It's a slower read, like the first book in the series. Violet is working at Gold Rush Ranch with Billie and just got her big break as a jockey on DD. Then she meets Cole, Vaughn's brother, and turns out they have history.

In an attempt to push her boundaries Violet posted a nude photo of herself online two years ago. There she met Golddigger85 and Pretty_In_Purple and he struck up a conversation. The book jumps back and forth Between their online relationship developing and the present day. During her 2nd race Violet is injured, hurts her leg and ends up having to move in with Cole whilst she heals. They reluctantly get to know each other better and Violet finally discovers why Cole never turned his web cam on. He's a military vet with PTSD and a prothetic leg. That explains why Golddigger85 ghosted Pretty_In_Purple after a year of chatting and when their relationship seemed to be moving forward.

It was slow but ok. I don't get why a girl in her early 20's would be so reclusive and why Vaughn is the right man for her.
