Touched by Fire

by Janis Flores, Unknown Author

In a winner-take-all match race only one can win, never challenge a woman who won't give up or give in.

Briar McKenna has spent years trying to find her lost family. Then she inherits the once-famed Caulfield Farm, a Thoroughbred ranch in northern California that belonged to her great-grandparents, Marguerite and Sloane Caulfield. Joyously she restores the farm and enters the elite world of Thoroughbred racing, hiring the secretive Stefan Yager as ranch manager. They become lovers.
Then a man named Rupert Jaeger reignites a century-old feud, vowing to destroy her and the Caulfield name. Briar can’t understand why until she finds Marguerite’s journals—and meets an old man named Gillie, who as a boy was a groom at Caulfield Farm. Gillie is the key to this complicated story of loves lost and found, treachery, greed—and even an ancient, unsolved murder.

[Bea · Rating 4 out of 5]

It took me longer to read this book than is usually true of my 4* reads. However, it was not because of the book itself but rather time demands by other reads.

I should also say that I am not usually a ROMANCE reader. Yet, this book had romance and horses. A combination I could not dislike.

It interweaves a past story with the present with a mystery thrown in. All the elements that keep me reading. Really enjoyed this book.
