Riley Davis has a bad history with men, which she’d rather forget, but she has a love for horses. When Jason Hughes tries to “rescue her” from an agitated horse, she fights back. As much as she wants to be independent, she soon finds herself working with Jason, and the ex-Ranger cowboy works to earn her trust and, perhaps, her heart. The stakes are raised when someone threatens the lives of Riley, her horse, and her daughter. Though she thinks she can handle the threat, things quickly escalate.
You don’t have to be an equestrian to enjoy this book. The story pulled me in with its feisty heroine. I learned about horse shows, but the author didn’t overwhelm the story with those details.

Barbara Ellin Fox brings both her extensive equestrian experience and her talents as an author to this engaging romantic suspense novel. Rylie Davis, a single mom and talented horsewoman, is haunted by her past and fiercely independent as a result. Jason Hughes is the wealthy rancher who hires Rylie to train his prize horse. Their relationship gets off to a rocky start, and it will take every bit of patience Jason owns to convince Rylie to trust him.
Fox weaves a tale of romance, intrigue, and danger that kept me turning pages. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys inspiring horse stories with multifaceted plots and intriguing characters.

August 16, 2023Rylie's busy running her own business and raising her daughter. She doesn't need an overly-protective cowboy bossing her around.
Excellent look into life on the competitive riding circuit and ranching.

Acceptance and trust, courage and forgiveness
Barbara Ellin Fox understands the psychology of people and horses with PTSD. They can't just 'get over it'. Isaiah said, 'Remember not' but that's not their decision to make. They have to work through it. And friends and time and God are essential.
This was such an engaging story about how Rylie worked through it with Eskador and the support of family and friends.
May all the people who need to 'remember not' find such support to escape from their memories and nightmares and self-recriminations.

A Good Read
I really enjoyed this story. Yes, it was pretty predictable. I felt the author really understood horse shows and horse people, though. The plot of this book was very original. It was wonderful to finally read a love story about some truly nice people.

Wonderful story
This is an easy read and hard to put down. The story is not just a romantic girly book but had a macho element for this old man to enjoy. Plus it had the romantic element to bring out the softer side. Please read and enjoy!

Not really a “horse” book
Good read, but if you’re wanting a good horse story this isn’t it. The horse(s) are merely a backdrop for the book.
