Customer Reviews

Interesting read...

This book was fairly good. The overall plot and storyline were pretty good, but I don't think Chris should have entered a grueling race with her pregnant mare. There were several other small details that were annoying, but other than that, the book was good. I liked paticulary the cast of characters, and I liked Chris. Ending is very predictable, but aren't all happy stories? Overall, I give this book four stars, without one star only because of the details.
