All Roads Lead to You by Jennifer Probst

5.0

All Roads Lead to You is the third book in the Stay series by Jennifer Probst and centers on Harper Bishop. Harper's passion lies in her rescue farm and her spirited horse Phoenix. Aidan O'Connor is vacationing in the US and is staying at Ophelia's B&B. When he meets Phoenix, he feels deep in his soul that Phoenix is his next thoroughbred racer. On the outset, Harper and Aidan are more different than alike, but as the story unfolds they seem to share more similarities than differences.

Jennifer Probst has a way of writing characters who have complex personalities. Her stories aren't set in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood; this particular one is set in New York's Hudson Valley. They aren't billionaires oozing money, but hard-working individuals who scrounge to get money together to enter races with Phoenix. As they work closely together, Aidan and Harper's relationship shifts from bristly and abrupt to partnership and shared passions. There were times when I thought their pasts would prevent the relationship from unfolding, but their willingness to work as team to protect and nurture Phoenix helps them get past obstacles. There relationship was a slow burn... trying desperately to stay professional and failing splendidly.

This book and series cemented my love for all things Jennifer Probst and I will continue to delve into her world of characters and stories.
