Really enjoyed the story. This is an 18+ story due to sexual content. It isn't extremely explicit, but it is there. At first I wasn't sure where the story was leading, but it all worked out in the end.

Green Lodge is my first Paddy Cummins novel but certainly won’t be my last.
It’s a tale of love and romance, adventure, family dynamics, celebrations and joy but also greed and hidden secrets that threaten to destroy the future happiness of certain people.
Ricky Barker is a poor stable lad who has dreams and aspirations of one day owning his own stud farm. His boss is wealthy farmer and landowner Sam McArdy.
Janet Johnson is a successful business woman in the bloodstock breeding industry but is cold, calculating and ruthless when crossed. She has little time or respect for her daughter, Gillian.
This is a very entertaining, well written and enjoyable read that will keep you enthralled from the very beginning to the surprise at the end.
Happy reading everyone!!!

I recommend to anyone who enjoys a sweet romance with a real feel of the Irish countryside.
Reading this book was like wrapping myself in a soft over-sized blanket with a mug of cocoa on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
The story follows a young man's determination to hang on to his horse and his dreams of one day being the owner of a successful stud yard. Along the way he finds love, support from surprising places and discovers a little of his heritage.
A heart warming, relaxing read.

What a wonderful surprise! Following the trials and adventures of Ricky Barker as he moves toward his dream of owning his own stud farm is like riding a fast-moving roller coaster. But true love prevails, as it should. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for first class entertainment.

A true love story
A love story written with many ups and downs, the way life should be written. The characters were well written, the plot well thought out and the ending perfect.
