What it’s
About:
A gifted trainer in a time women are not allowed to race, Nora Fenton prefers
horses to men. They're easier to handle, they're more reliable, and they never
tell her what to do. After her father's passing, Nora is determined to save her
struggling horse farm, starting with entering her prize colt into the harness
races at the 1905 Mississippi Fair. If she wins, she may have a chance at
independence. But when a stranger arrives and starts asking disconcerting
questions, she suspects he may have other motives than unseating her in the
training job that is rightfully hers.
Silas Cavallero will do whatever it takes to solve the mystery of his father's
death--even if it means training an unwieldy colt for Nora, who wants nothing
more than to see him gone. But when mysterious accidents threaten their safety
and circumstances shrouded in secrets begin unlocking clues to his past, Silas
will have to decide if the truth is worth risking ruining everything for the
feisty woman he's come to admire.
My Thoughts:
I enjoyed reading this well-written and thought-out story. Nora is a woman
before her time, living in the early 1900s when arranged marriages kept
families prosperous and women in the home. Instead of marriage, Nora has her
heart set on training horses and running the family farm. Silas, a man who
loved and lost his parents is out to find out what happened when his dad died. Nora’s
Uncle Amos is determined to fight against them both. The story has mystery,
romance, secrets, and an amazing horse. The Secrets of Emberwild will take you
on an adventure into the early days of horse racing. I’m a fan of Heartland, so
this book was a great read for me. I received a complimentary copy of this
book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
