My Review
I read books five through seven from the Ginnie West Adventures in succession, and this was my favorite of the trio and possibly the whole series to date. Horse enthusiasts will love this series, but I feel like this novel really gives some great equestrian education that I did not previously know. There are also some expected as well as unexpected surprises that were perfectly executed and gave me all of the warm, fuzzy feelings. So heartfelt, so wonderful...
One thing I really find great about this series is how it can appeal to a younger audience while also being entertaining for more mature audiences.
This is such a sweet story of healing and growth. It was a long road that brought us to this point, but seeing these characters overcome and persevere was inspiring. This novel had the happiest of endings that was full of surprises. I could not be happier for the expanding West-verse and am so excited to see where the adventures will take us next!
