I thoroughly enjoyed Laurie Berglie's first book "Where the Bluegrass Grows" and couldn't wait for the semi-sequel "Kicking On". It did not disappoint! I loved the slow build to the meat of this equestrian romance. Her characters are warm and true equestrians through and through. What moved me most about this book was the constant theme of living in the moment and to not take anyone or anything for granted. Now the question is when can I expect book three from this talented author? Highly recommend whether you are a horse lover or not!

This book is full of grace, wisdom & good horsemanship. A must read!

Couldn’t put it down...

This book was my perfect read. I rooted for the characters, became entrenched in their world and absolutely cannot wait to see if Adam and Macy will find happily ever after. If Macy won’t commit, I’ll take him! The details of Maryland life, fox hunting and thoroughbreds are so true that I felt like I was reading about my friends and neighbors. Once you pick it up you won’t want to put it down.

It can be so difficult finding equestrian novels, let alone equestrian novels for twenty/thirty somethings. This one exceeded my expectations & I’m so glad it was featured in my Cavali Club subscription box! I loved the relationships represented between the characters & their horses as well as with each other—very well thought out. Thank you for such an uplifting tale about...well...kicking on! :)

Familiar territory!

It was fun to read this story knowing names of places, hunts, and horse related incidents. Living in a nearby town, I could easily put myself in the beautiful surroundings!

Absolutely adored this book! I loved the first book in the series and was nervous the second one wouldn’t be as good but honestly it was even better. The slow burn of Macy and Adam is perfect along with plenty of horses. I couldn’t put the book down and finished it in one day!
