Her Horse Racing Billionaire Groom

Rate this book
He has to be married by Christmas. She never expected to see him again. Will he be able to win her back?


Clark Kelly has a big problem: be married by Christmas or risk losing the charity he started with his father and his portion of the billion dollar family fortune. Up against seemingly insurmountable odds, Clark never was one to back down from a fight.

When Maren Davis applies for a job with a prestigious racehorse rehoming charity, she never expected to come face to face with Clark Kelly, the man who proposed to her years ago. And she really never imagined having all the old feelings come back. Good thing they are both professionals, bad thing he asked her to dinner. Clark is convinced Maren is back in his life for a reason, but he has to figure out how to win her back. Being honest about his father’s will is an entirely different challenge. It doesn’t help matters when they run into an old boyfriend of hers, especially when that old boyfriend asks her on a date.
With the Christmas deadline looming, Clark has to prove he'll do anything to win Maren's love, even if it means sacrificing it all for her.

This is a sweet, clean second chance cowboy romance with all the feels. I haven't read the other books in this series but I am looking forward to reading the other Kelly brothers stories.

Maren and Clark have a history. Clark once proposed to Maren and said no because he was "too ambitious". It reminded her of her father who neglected her family to pursue career and wealth. She wanted a marriage based on love and respect and she wasn't sure Clark could give her that. Now, it is several years later, and they are thrown together again when she unknowingly applies for a position with Clark's race horse charity. Will Maren be able to see that Clark has changed and is it possible to get a second chance? Clark feels like Maren was the one who got away and he is determined to make her see that he loves her but he has a secret that could destroy everything. Can he make Maren see that she is the most important and the only thing that matters to Clark?

I was given an arc copy of this book and I willingly offer my honest review.

This is a sweet second-chance romance with a lovely dash of horses! Really enjoyed the premise of this story- Clark is a workaholic, but his father's will says he and his brothers must get married by Christmas or risk losing their inheritance AND the charity Clark has worked hard to grow and support (race horse rehab). Enter Maren Davis... Clark's old flame who broke his heart. Maren unknowingly interviews for a job at Clark's charity and the two are forced to work together and face issues from their past. I really enjoyed the initial tension and was rooting for Clark and Maren to rekindle their relationship right from the start. This clean romance is super sweet and reminded me of a Hallmark movie (which I love). I enjoyed Maren's sass and Clarks persistence and especially enjoyed the scenes that involved horses... Clark's display of excellent riding skills as well as an adorable scene where they ride double. Also, I'm a sucker for anything Christmas and loved the Christmas theme. I actually read this book in March. The Christmas theme isn't over-the-top, but more so sprinkled into the story so you could read this book at any time of the year. Pick it up if you're looking for a sweet, heart-warming romance.

I love a good romantic triangle and second chance romance. With this book I get both. What more could I want?

I was drawn into the story from the first meeting between Maren and Clark. There was definitely chemistry between the two, but I liked that their relationship had time to grow and evolve. Just like in our lives, neither of them were perfect. They had their issues, but in the end both were willing to grab onto the hope of a future together.

This book isn’t just about second chances. It’s also a lesson in what’s really important in life. Can money or success make up for the lack of love,family, or purpose in a person’s life?

I loved this book and recommend it for those chilly nights in front of the fire.

Dad’s Crazy Will

What a crazy stipulation his Dad had put into his Will. His Dad insisted that each son had to be married by Christmas in order to receive their share of their Dad’s money as well as the funds for the charities they started as young boys. So totally unfair!! How could his Dad do that to all of them? There was really only one woman who he had ever honestly wanted to marry; but she had said “No”. He didn’t even know where she lived anymore. So what is he gonna do with so little time? That’s a great question. To begin with he has no idea, but something will come to him surely!

Get on with this strange setting. Let’s just take a peak into what follows the stipulation. You’re in for a treat!

This was a clean romantic book that I enjoyed reading. It is the story of Clark and Maren, who meet again a few years after breaking up. It seems that fate has taken a hand in bringing the two of them back together. Clark is on the verge of losing his inheritance and his charity if he doesn't marry by Christmas. Maren is looking for a new career when her best friend spots an ad that seems to be the perfect fit. Maren then discovers that the job is for Clark's horse racing charity. There are a few hiccups but these 2 people find their HEA ending. Her Horse Racing Billionaire Groom will leave you with the warm fuzzies.

A sweet second chance triangle romance

Clark is such a sweet guy, but he's had a lot to deal with in his life & learned the hard way how *not* to deal with it. Maren loved Clark but she had to turn him down years ago when he proposed to her because he was too wrapped up in his own pain.

Now when they meet again by chance, Clark hopes he might be able to try again.

It's easy to root for them - they're so fun and flirty together. Clark is tall, dark, and a little broody. And Maren is a strong, witty, positive female lead. They are good for each other.

*Clean romance level: sweet kisses

Second chances

Brilliant.
The author weaved a beautiful love story about Maren and Clark. She really has a way of drawing you in and you go willingly.

These two had a history that unfortunately didn’t get the ending that Clark was expecting the last time they were together. 10 years on and both if them have regrets of how it ended and many ‘what if’ moments.

When fate brings them back together. Will they take a chance on a do over? Will the secret that Clark is hiding from her spell the end of their budding live a second time or will date step in and lend a helping hand.

Her Horse Racing Billionaire Groom by Rachael Eliker is a sweet second chance romance story that is heartwarming and thoroughly enjoyable to read. I like the interaction between Clark and Maren. I also felt the connection with the other characters.

This is a book that can be read on the beach or in front of a fireplace. It will warm your heart. I received an advance reader copy of this book and I always review every book that I read. I recommend this on if you are looking for a wonderful, sweet, clean story about romance and love.

Her Horse Racing Billionaire Groom is a riveting, second chance romance. I really enjoyed meeting Maren, Clark and Toby. (This is a clean romance but Toby cannot be ignored. In fact, BIG HINT Rachael, he probably needs his own story!) The dialogue in this book is really enjoyable. I was engaged with this book from page one and hated to see it end. If you enjoy strong characters, great dialog, and clean, second chance romance, do not miss this book!

Clark is floundering. His father has died, he’s overwhelmed with business, and he was just rejected by his girlfriend. This puts things into perspective for him.
Maren is drawn to a job for a horse home that rehabs and takes in horses that might otherwise be put down. She is surprised to find that it is run by her old flame.
Can two people find lasting love despite the problems of the past, especially when one has a secret?
A sweet, clean, love story!

Kelly brother books

I liked how Maren and Clark were able to reconnect. I like that they were better together but were each independent. I liked that they could listen to each other and were willing to forgive.

I enjoy reading this one good clean book. The main character was a bit childish at times.
