Sunday Book Review – Satin and Cinders by Jan Sikes #Shortstory, #Romance

Published on by dgkaye

Welcome to my Sunday Book Review. Today I’m reviewing a #shortstory by Jan Sikes – Satin and Cinders. This is a sweet love story between a privileged horse and a wild stallion.

I’m currently halfway through another of Jan’s books, as well as an historical fiction memoir and a book about NLP therapy, but I wanted to put up a last review before I take a blogging break later this week, and pulled up this sweet short story on my BFK. I’m looking forward to a timeout and a readathon on the beach – in between having actual conversations with human beings.

Blurb:

A wild black stallion has cautiously watched a beautiful white mare, from the safety of the forest for many years. He longs to be with her, and ventures close to the barn nightly to communicate with her. They share their deepest desires and secrets. Now it is winter, and the rest of the wild herd has moved on, but the stallion stays. He cannot stand the thought of being so far away from her. The scent of sweet alfalfa hay and the enticing lure of the white mare is too much for him. He must find a way to be with her. But will it be worth the risk? Satin and Cinders is a story of courage and determination.

My 5 Star Review:

This was a sweet love story about two horses in love. This story could have been about any two people, but it’s about a beautiful mare, Satin, and the wild black stallion, Cinders, who are in love and separated by living standards and a fence. Cinders narrates. The author does a wonderful job of bringing the emotions to life and writing about the horse’s thoughts, inviting us into their story. An equine love story with a human feel.

  2. Debby, a beautiful and tender review — I just could not resist the story and have bought the book! It’s lovely to see one of Jan’s books featured on your blog as well!

    Have a super break with tons of reading and yes, talking to actual people … what was that like, I wonder? 😀

  27. Oh, this sounds like a true love story, Debby. Animals can teach us so much and as you say in your review it could have been a love story about two people. Love knows no boundaries. Have a wonderful blogging holiday! ❤ Lots of sunshine, warmth, friends and inner peace.
