Happily single, Harper Bishop trusts in only one passion—her rescue farm and healing her thoroughbred, Phoenix. Her dream is to lead him to the Triple Crown. But how unreachable is it without experience or help? A handsome new guest at her family’s B&B has what it takes to make it come true. And with his irresistible brogue, warm smile, and soothing touch, he’s a major distraction.
After a bitter betrayal, horse trainer Aidan O’Connor has fled Ireland for a vacation in New York’s Hudson Valley. When he sees the horse with the fighting spirit, he’s inspired with a new goal: to train Phoenix to win. He’s also facing an unexpected new challenge: his feelings for Harper.
How can she dare to open her heart to a man who’ll be there only long enough to break it?
So Harper and Aidan agree: try to keep it professional, and focus only on Phoenix and the finish line. But along the way, they could also learn a few lessons in love, trust, and taking chances. And, as painful as it promises to be, saying goodbye.
PAT'S REVIEW
| The third book in this series has Harper Bishop still rescuing animals mainly horses. She saved a thoroughbred in the last book, but now she does not know how to train the horse to see if it has any potential. Enter Aiden O’Connor visiting America from Ireland and just so happens to be staying at the B&B and is also a horse trainer or was in Ireland. Left because his last horse just won the Irish Derby. He now after seeing the horse and Harper would like to train Phoenix. The problem is Harper does not like to let anyone into her inner circle and she fears that by doing so with Aiden she will be setting herself up for heartache. The story moves along at a good pace with the characters from the other books as well as the animals. When they begin to race Phoenix that is when the story takes off as well as their connection. When the time comes after the race season is over Aiden leaves to go back to Ireland and Harper is left with her animals to fix her broken heart which she once again commits to never letting anyone close again. Alas, that is not the end, you will have to read the book to find out what happens and how many if any races Phoenix won. A very good book. I received this book from Netgalley.com I gave it 4 stars.
