This sapphic, fun love story is set in the gorgeous backdrop of an American horse barn business and I learned a lot about the up keep and financial side of looking after horses and making sure a profit can be made. It made sense to sell the farmland with Molly’s growing debt and her hopeful dream of starting her own business venture but when she starts forming a bond with the horses and the staff who have become her friends, it’s no wonder she starts to doubt her decision despite her family and friends back home, insisting it’s a bad idea to stay.  At the same time, Molly has her eyes set on the resident farrier Shani, an attractive but highly emotional cowgirl who is dead against the selling of the land to developers and certainly makes it plain to see that this is her staunch opinion. 

 

This was such a entertaining read, despite the love/hate relationship between Molly and Shani. The way they were thrown together in an emotional and slightly bewildering way explains how they get off on the wrong foot with each other. I do have to admit that the ‘will they or won’t they’ feeling was frustrating and had me nearly shouting at the book, telling them to get their act together 🤣 but it was all part of the relationship growing between the two women and the denouement is worth waiting for. 

 

Shani’s brother, added some appealing rodeo action and with all of the characters endearing and memorable, “The Ride of her Life” was certainly a rollercoaster ride of a story and I can happily recommend it.
