Why read it?

2 authors picked In The Reins as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is one of my favorite books, and anyone who loves horses should read it.

I love a good slow-burn romance, which occurs throughout this book and the next, but ultimately, it is how relatable a character the FMC is and how much I felt like the author was describing me.

The relationship between Devon and her Paint mare is incredibly vivid and realistic, and there is a lot of tension with the MMC!

From Heather's list on books if you love horses.

If you ever dreamed about a lean, mean Cowboy with six-pack abs and the sun glinting off of sea blue eyes beneath his Stetson, this book is for you. 

I enjoyed slipping into the world of bull-riders, and skilled western riders with Devon a journalist dropping out of the prying eyes of society to heal from an affair gone south. A sweet romance blooms, which is the beginning of the In The Reins series. 

From Linda's list on adventure on horseback for adults.
