~ Synopsis ~
London Daniels is returning home to Willow Bay, Alberta, on
the heels of a televised loss. She blew her shot at the Summer Olympics and
cost Canada the gold medal in dressage.
During her years of training abroad, her family's stable has
fallen on hard times, and thus, they’ve accepted an offer to board the
racehorses of Branson Tucker, the infamous tycoon, for the winter.
London lacks conviction after her ill-fated fall. And as if
returning to her hometown to watch her epic failure replay on everyone's big
screen isn't torture enough, she’s expected to cater to a man with an ego
bigger than her hundred-acre farm just to earn a dime.
Is London saddling up for another ride that will leave both
her heart and her ass in the dirt? Or could the handsome, unwanted guest at
Willow Bay Stables be her second chance to go for gold?
~ Review ~
4.5 Stars
This book starts out with London Daniels competing in the
Equestrian event at the Olympics. Due to an unfortunate event she suffers a
fall that not only causes her pain from the injury itself but also her pride.
She is humiliated with having to go home and see her family and her small town.
Enter in Branson Tucker. He's a man on a mission and that is
to make London his. He is very much an alpha male but one who is incredibly
sweet and very loving.
Fate throws these two together and you instantly can feel
the chemistry these two have. You get a dual POV which I really like because
you get to know what the other is feeling and thinking.
One of my favorite quotes was this one: London is
remembering a conversation she had with her mom. "We are strong women, we are horse women, and when push comes
to shove, sweet girl, we can always change rein, for a new direction never
ceases to bring with it a new light."
This is a great first book in this series. It's a pretty
quick read that held my attention and I just had to know what would happen
next. Looking forward to more in the Willow Bay Stables series.

Hey y’all,
I was born and raised in Ladner, a small farm town just
outside Vancouver, Canada. I grew up riding horses, shooting guns, and driving
in trucks.
I never expected to be an author. A massage therapist? Yes.
Take over the family construction company? Yes. But an author? No. Writing was
something that snuck up on me and rooted itself into my life. It was beautiful
to discover that love, and I’m truly grateful to say I’ve found my passion.
Since I’ve always been a creative person, it feels amazing
to harness all of that energy and use it to tell a story I love. I enjoy
incorporating bits of my real life into the stories I write. What parts are
true? Hah. I’ll never tell—what would be the fun in that?
If I could leave y’all with one thing, it’s that life’s far
too short to not live it out loud. Drown in your passions, hold on tight to the
things that inspire you, and chase your dreams relentlessly. I can promise you
without a doubt that you won’t regret it. I know I don’t.
Mad love,
Anne Jolin
