Summary from Goodreads:
All Beatriz “Bia”
Fernandes wants is to prove herself—to her family and friends—though it’s hard
to prove anything with an overbearing father and three famous polo-playing
older brothers. After her acceptance into college results in a heated family
argument, the Brazilian girl leaves everything behind to find her own American
dream.
College life away from home is perfect until the people she believes to be her friends turn on her. With lies and rumors threatening to suffocate her, Bia turns to her only freedom. Riding.
But one thing gets in the way of her escape. Garrett Blackwell and his bad cowboy attitude. Working at the ranch is his obligation, bugging Bia is his newfound hobby. His thick skin and easy grin don’t hide what Bia already knows—this misunderstood and lonely cowboy fights his own demons. Brushing horses’ coats and mucking out stalls shouldn’t be this sexy, and it isn’t long before he becomes a part of her distraction.
However, escaping won’t solve her problems, and it’s up to Bia to break down the fences around her and prove her strength—not to her family and friends, but to herself … and for Garrett. Because standing on her own doesn’t have to mean standing alone.

Review
Bia is twenty-two years and decide to leave her family and goes to an American college to study veterinary medicine. Se wants to take care of herself to prove to her father and her famous brothers who can do it. On campus believed to have made new friends but actually find that for envy they spread rumors about her: she is Brazilian so it's an easy girl. She is the victim of many jokes but find refuge in a riding school near the campus where she falls in love with a special horse Midnight Dream and knows better even his coach Garrett. The guy is often on campus even if is not a student and Bia soon discovers that he also has to deal with a famous family behind.
The characters are really well characterized: Bia is a strong and brave girl who will deal with all the adversity and the evil head-on: the beginning suffers a lot and come to think that perhaps her family was right but then regains its strength and decides to be herself despite everything.
It 'a very compelling book, a quick read, once started will not let me anymore. Although it is the second book in a series you can read quietly alone, the first I did not read it yet but hope to do so soon.Must read for lovers of horses, the new adult and on college campus stories.
