This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free for a Blog Tour in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to JB for letting me take part in this blog tour. I am not big into horses but I thought that this sounded like a fun romantic read so I was excited to to be part of the tour. I also really loved the cover.

Charlotte or Lottie as she likes to be know is a fun and wild character. She's always doing things just for the hell of it and even more so if it will impress Rory. There is a queue of men wanting her but she's just not interested. I don't think she quite realises how pretty she is either.

Rory is well by all accounts hot. He is also however like all men a numpty. Yes he thought Lottie was hot and he enjoyed the time they spent together but he did not realise that she was in love with him.

There was a great array of characters in this book and I liked everyone of them. Even Elizabeth as interfering as she was. I was really dying to know what all the secrecy was and what she was cooking up.

This book had all the perfect elements of a really great love story, a likeable couple, lots of humour and some fantastic side characters . For me the only thing that made it a 41/2* and not a 5 was that sometimes the inner monologues made me forget what the conversations had been about in the first place.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a love story with some hidden extras.

Love the cover and the synopsis. I was so excited to be approved for a preview copy.

I was expecting a Jilly Cooper or Tilly Bagshawe type book. Racy, breezy, snarky and fun.

While this book has all those elements, it doesn't quite fulfil the promise. There are some quirky characters, there are some great plot elements, there are some hilariously awesome scenes. But in between it drags and made me skim many pages.

The book definitely has great potential, and I would read more by this author.

Took awhile to get into this one, mainly due to there being a LOT of characters, and several storylines - but do persist, as it does set the reader up for the next two books in the series.

Lottie left Tippermere and has returned to help her father.

Will Lottie and her former flame, Rory, reunite now they are both in Tippermere?

Amanda's husband has passed away, will she keep or sell up her estate? if she sells what will happen to Billy (Billy is Lottie's father).

Pip, as always, is on the snoop for a big story for her journalism career.
