About the book:
A gifted trainer in a time women are not allowed to race, Nora Fenton
prefers horses to men. They're easier to handle, they're more reliable,
and they never tell her what to do. After her father's passing, Nora is
determined to save her struggling horse farm, starting with entering her
prize colt into the harness races at the 1905 Mississippi and West
Alabama Fair. If she wins, she may have a chance at independence. But
when a stranger arrives and starts asking disconcerting questions, she
suspects he may have other motives than unseating her in the training
job that is rightfully hers.
Silas Cavallero will do whatever it takes to solve the mystery of his father's death--even if it means training an unwieldy colt for Nora, who wants nothing more than to see him gone. But when mysterious accidents threaten their safety and circumstances shrouded in secrets begin unlocking clues to his past, Silas will have to decide if the truth is worth the risk of ruining everything for the feisty woman he's come to admire.

My review:
This was a wonderful story by a new author to me! I loved Nora's feistiness and her determination to build the life she wanted, which meant she could be incredibly stubborn and even pigheaded sometimes. And Silas was so wonderful and had such a gentle way with her and the colt, Arrow. Arrow is really the third main character in the story as he's got such a big personality and brings them together so much of the time! Their interactions were always interesting! There was some sweet romance and a little mystery as well when accidents started happening. Nora's uncle and mother were pretty frustrating at times and there's a mystery there as well. This was a story I didn't want to put down! I highly recommend it!
I received this book free from Revell. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
