If you like horse stories, you should try this one by Heidi Thomas. It’s the first in a series, so I’m looking forward to trying Book 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nSam has a dream: to buy back her grandparents’ Montana ranch and raise Thoroughbreds from her rescued mare. However, life seems to have other plans. Her boyfriend abandons her to the Montana winter. She manages to find a job at a dude ranch, where she meets a troubled teen who will become an important part of her new life. Then she gets word of another neglected horse who needs rescuing. With the last of her savings, Sam buys the emaciated horse — only to be caused of stealing him later on. As she tries to fight these charges, a bunch of strangers move into town, offering to buy up local property at ridiculous prices. What are they up to? And is charming Brad on their side — or on Sam’s? There are plenty of twists and turns to this story and you won’t be able to guess the ending! It’s a good old-fashioned horse story, and I do like a good horse story. Pick up a copy and try it out for yourself!<\/p>\n
