Synopsis
A gifted rider in a world where ladies never race, Maggie Linden
is determined that her horse will become a champion. But the one man who could
help her has vowed to stay away from thoroughbred racing forever.
An Irishman far from home, Cullen McGrath left a once prosperous life in England because of a horse racing scandal that nearly ruined him. He's come to Nashville for a fresh start, hoping to buy land and begin farming, all while determined to stay as far away from thoroughbred racing as possible. But starting over proves harder than he'd wagered, especially when Maggie Linden's father makes him an offer he shouldn't accept yet cannot possibly refuse.
Maggie is certain that her mare, Bourbon Belle, can take the top purse in the inaugural Peyton Stakes, the richest race ever run in America. Maggie only needs the chance to prove it. To give her that chance---and to save Linden Downs from being sold to the highest bidder---Maggie's father, aging, yet wily as ever, makes a barter. His agreement includes one tiny, troublesome detail---Maggie must marry a man she's never met. A man she never would have chosen for herself.

Review
I enjoyed the
continuation of this series. Maggie was a favorite of mine from the first page,
I liked that she was a strong person. Tamara has a way with her writing style
to pull you into the book so that you feel a part of it. The story also hits
you in the heart and you feel for the characters and all they are going
through. Another thing I liked about this book was the element of romance that
was included. I like a good love story. There are many good things about this
book including some of the passages. In this book the author deals with
prejudices that were going on after the war. She did a good job of bringing
them to life and telling us how the characters dealt with them. I am looking
forward to the next book in this series.
