Her favorite panties have taken a float downstream without her, and when she finally gets to the store to buy whipped cream, people are already talking about it…yet another bad day for Vi. Smart-mouthed New Yorker Viola Parker might be one of the best show-jumper riders around, but her attitude just landed her out of work. “Again.” She can barely keep her horse in hay let alone support her whipped-cream-in-a-can addiction. Now, all that’s between her and a surprise trust fund is keeping a job for one full year by the time she’s 30. “And” a glowing letter of recommendation.
But it’s hard to keep a civil tongue when within minutes of arriving at her new post at a Missouri horse farm, Vi runs headlong into a bull, has to catch a runaway, and her horse kicks her kilt-clad boss, Robert Malcolm.
If Malcolm doesn’t make the farm a success within the year, his father will sell it to developers. The moment Vi and her long legs and keen gaze step into his bull’s path, he knows he’s in trouble. But someone else has their eye on the land, too, and they will do anything to kill his success.
It’s supposed to be a relaxing-“boring “-year of riding “on the buckle.” Between the dead horse visiting Vi’s dreams and the dead bodies piling up, the question isn’t whether she can keep her mouth shut long enough to earn a reference, but whether she’ll live long enough to get it.

Summary
On The Buckle by Candace Carrabus Dreamhorse Mysteries Book One Viola Parker hasn’t held a job for more than a few months, that is about to change if she wants to come into some money, which she don’t. She could care less about this so-called trust fund in her name if she can hold a job for a year straight and get a good recommendation, her cousin feels otherwise. She’s about to turn twenty-nine and it stipulates she has to do this before thirty, cousin Penny finds her the perfect place. Or what what her cousin considered perfect. It was in a way. Her new boss Robert Malcolm was quite handsome and looked wonderful in the kilt he favored to wear. I just had to read this book after the blurb talking about her favorite pair of undies going downstream, and it was well worth it. This book is written from Viola’s point of view and very humorous. It is a laugh out loud type of story even though some serious stuff is happening. I’m glad I found this author and this book. **WARNING: If you like to take shots of whip cream from a can...have some cans on hand while reading. You might get a craving or two or three... **Language and sensual content http://justjudysjumbles.blogspot.com/2011/12/e-books.html
