I mean, full disclosure I was involved in the creation of this. But I think it's pretty neat and there are some great stories in this.

I received this as a Goodreads First Read.

I loved the cast of characters in this book. They aren't your typical types found in romances and all felt really real. It was a quick read too, I had a hard time stopping until I was done reading. I read while eating and even ignored the uncomfy nature of the chair I had claimed because I was so curious as to what was going to happen next. And I loved the fact that Zia, the FMC, is a strong woman character. She's not just a damsel in distress, but someone who is capable of taking care of herself in a many situations. That doesn't mean it isn't nice to have someone else do it once in a while ^_~

Great resource for new teachers.

I originally picked this book up because I remember reading Heartland when I was younger and figured this book would be good for my ESL class. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would considering I know the target audience is much younger than me, but it was nice to relive the world of horse shows and a quick read was exactly what I need to boost my reading interest this month.
