This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to Harper Impulse for approving my request via netgalley for this book. I read the first book in this series Stable Mates earlier this year and was excited to catch up with the gang again.
In the months that we have been gone Lottie has really grown up. She is really starting to come in to her own and becoming Lady of the Manor is the making of her.
I found Rory to be highly irritating throughout the book. He really didn't deserve Lottie and I' m not sure I would have put up with him like Lottie did.
Lottie and rory have a host of great supporting characters. You have Todd who was was an excellent character. He really spiced things up in Tippermere. Sam is really funny and Pip, poor Pip. I felt so sad for her. Elizabeth is just the best. She always knows what's going on.
This was a really sweet story which I enjoyed but I couldn't help but think there was something missing. I don't know what and maybe it was just my mood but there were times when I struggled with this book and times when I loved it. I've also seen that there is a Christmas novella coming out in a few months (which I have of course pre-ordered) so I look forward to seeing the gang again at my favourite time of year.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for my honest review.
I did not read the first book in this series, so when I began this book it was really confusing. I had to fight through the first few chapters to get a handle on everyone. Zara's writing style is almost like you are sitting there watching two people have a fast pace conversation. Sometimes I had to go back a reread areas to make sure I knew who was talking.
Lottie was the main character in this book. She is taking over estate from her Gram. There are so many twists and turns thrown at her that she can't keep up.(honestly neither could I). She has two love interests in this book. She seems as a character a little naive and scatterbrained, which was the goal of the character because by the end of the book she is to be lady of manor and in charge.
I would say this book was not a stand alone and that until you learn all the characters and Zara's writing style it's a bit confusing. This book took me an unusually long time to read. Once I was 3/4 of the way through it started rolling along. I was a little amazed by the ending it took me off guard.

Really glad that I bought all 3 books of this series at the same time. Read books 1 and 2 on a cruise and am ready to read the 3rd in the series now I'm home.
Reviewing Book 2 -
Lottie's ex Todd is in town and crashes the wedding (on horseback no less of course!) in Tippermere - bringing the wedding ceremony to a halt. Todd had to do something to stop Lottie making the worse mistake of her life - marrying a much much older man..... but Todd got it wrong... the wedding ceremony was Lottie's dad and his new wife.
Elizabeth is doing poorly in this book, and the decision is made to have Lottie step up, and Lottie becomes Lady in Waiting, and needs to prove herself ready to take on the responsibility of the estate. She needs to get some reserve raised to fix the estate's roof and keep the estate running.
Lots of relationship changes in this story from the first book, babies, foals and puppies are on the mind of many characters, and the wedding of Lottie and Rory is being planned... or is it really?
Rory escaping from Lottie's window is hilarious.
Without wanting to give away the answers..... What will happen to Rory and Lottie?, Will Elizabeth recover her health and keep up her meddlesome ways, and can she ever remember Rory's name. Will Lottie and her friends come up with a plan to get some cash for the estate.
