Violet and Cole had a somewhat anonymous and salacious online relationship for a year until things ended, and they didn't speak again. They don't encounter each other again until they both realize Violet is a jockey for the ranch Cole and his family own. Their initial plan to ignore each other falls apart when Violet gets injured and has to move in with Cole while she recovers. 

"A Photo Finish" was my first Elsie Silver and, boy, do we love a forced proximity romance! A slow burn! A second chance! It's peak grumpy/sunshine and the tension between them is so well done. I am obsessed with Cole's damaged and broody schtick, especially since it's actually valid here. 

There are so many great little moments with their accidental campout, Violet's race, etc. This one was such a pleasant surprise.

Many thanks to the author, NetGalley and Bloom Books for the advance copy in exchange for my honest review.
