No Looking Back
Sometimes it's good to take a risk...
Hannah McKenna loves working with horses and is trying hard to keep it altogether after her first horse syndication deal turns sour. Since then she's been careful and played life straight, and has had enough. She runs into trouble when she meets Blake Hudson – the man who put together the failed deal – who rescues her when she takes a nasty tumble from a horse.
Blake Hudson is known as Mr Nice Guy, but there are dark shadows in his past. He’s the dealmaker, the perfect go-between who puts together horse syndications and once the deal is done he moves on. Problem is, Hannah is the exception and he can't keep away, but fears she will walk if she knew the truth about his past.
He hadn’t bargained on dealing with a mischievous third party called attraction.
When she discovers the truth, both realise they could lose everything, including each other.

About the author
Linda Charles
8 booksI love to read. It's been a huge part of my life. I spent my childhood in drama classes and I enjoy going to the theatre. I was never into sports, so I was happy to turn some of my reading time into writing - that has opened up to another new world, more friends. I enjoy travelling, a good conversation, and wining & dining. Travelling is good - you read up on countries cities, plan your walks - long ones. That ripples into getting more fit and meeting new friends on those early morning walks. All good stuff.

"No Looking Back" is book three in the Creek A Town Reborn by Linda Charles. Hannah McKenna and her sister are trying to keep the family farm going after Hannah McKenna's first horse syndication turns sour. One day Hannah McKenna was outriding her horse Buttercup when a car spooked Buttercup, and Hannah tumbled from her.

"No Looking Back" is a fantastic addition to this excellent series by Linda Charles. The story and the characters hooked me from the first page, and I could only put the book down at the end. I love Linda Charles's portrayal of her characters and the way they interact with each other throughout this book. "No looking Back" is well-written and researched by Linda Charles. I like Linda Charles's description of the setting of "No Looking Back", which allowed me to imagine being part of the book's plot.

I recommend this book.

Hannah McKenna is a horse trainer who is truly dedicated to working with horses. Her ultimate goal is to get her horses to be able to run at big race tracks. Blake Hudson also loves horses even though not his business by trade as he is an accountant he loves following the races. Hannah and Blake meet when she has an accident and falls from a horse. He realizes that they do have a past with each other. Having no time for love she is more interested in trying to keep her business going but love knows no barriers so you know Ms. Charles will somehow get these two to find equal ground. Interesting series and will look forward to more.

Hanna McKenna had a history with Blake Hudson long before he recuses her from a fall from a horse. Hanna is a horse trainer with a dream to make it big. Blake, as a side line, organises syndicates to purchase race horses. He had one such deal with Hanna when the syndicate pulled out and almost bankrupted Hanna. They are falling for each other and Blake has realised the connection but Hanna slowly begins to work it out. Can they actually put the past behind them and have a future together. This was the first book I have read in the series and look forward to reading some more.

I loved the cover of this romance which is Blake and Hannah's story.
A wonderful Australian story that is set around a small rural outback town and beautiful horses. The action starts straight away. A fall from a horse brings back the past to the present and between all the action that the horse racing scene Blake and Hannah need to work together in order to overcome the roadblocks in their way.
A truly emotional and action packed story which was hard to put down and very enjoyable.
