~To Win Her Favor~

This book review is for the novel "To Win Her Favor" by Tamera Alexander.

I have read other books by Tamera and have always been entertained but what really drew me to wanting to read this novel in particular is the fact that it is about horses. It has a beautiful horse on the cover of the book and lets be real here, sometimes a good story of a girl and her horse are exactly what the day needs!


The first few pages of the book really had me interested and curious as to where the story would lead. That is usually the mark of a good read ;)

I say that this one is no exception and is not only interesting because of the historical things behind it but because it is well written and easily kept me entertained and engaged with the story and the welfare of the characters.


~~~~~~~~~~
Maggie is a stubborn Southern Belle with a determined streak a mild wide. When her beloved dad asks the unthinkable of her to marry a total stranger, logic and reason fight for domination over emotion.

The man in question is Irish through and through and thought he was done with horse racing of any kind for the rest of his life.

But a life altering proposition offering him Maggie's hand in marriage in exchange for possibly everything he dreamed when coming to America might just be too tempting to pass up.

Two unlikely people linked together, both trying to make a dream a reality. But how truly different are those dreams and will they find a middle ground in the end together or take their separate dreams? Will Bourbon Belle win the richest race? Will Cullen love racing again and perhaps even love Maggie???

Betting on Hope

This book review is for the novel "Betting On Hope" by Debra Clopton.

Well come on now, who doesn't love a good story packed with a handsome cowboy, lots of horses and a will they overcome or won't they? story!

Debra brings you all of that and more in her new novel. I also love the cover art and back that they used for the book.

The yellow on blue really makes it stand out.

Debra's style of writing really helps the story to come alive. I could almost picture myself standing there beside Maggie as she overcomes the discomfort that her latest interview subject causes in her.

I have always had a love of horses so having them featured defiantly helps the appeal of a book for me anyway :)

If you are looking for a new fiction read then I recommend picking up "Betting On Hope"!


~~~~~~~~~~

Hope you are finding time to read!

Sarah Ladd's "The Headmistress of Rosemere"

This review is for the novel "The Headmistress of Rosemere" by Sarah E. Ladd.

Fans of Jane Austen sit up and take notice! Sarah is back with book 2 in her "Whispers on The Moors series!" :)

I love regency fiction and Sarah is a great writer. I don't think you will be disappointed if you pick up this read!

Even if you haven't read the first book you should have no problem with reading this one by itself.

Sarah is good at pulling you right into important moments in the book even from the very first page or even the first sentence of the first page!
