Summary
Caitlyn Lloyd has the world at her feet. Or more accurately - under her horse’s hooves. With the 2016 Rio Olympics just around the corner, nothing is going to derail her long-held dream of winning a medal or two in Olympic dressage. Not even the reappearance of a childhood so-not-a-friend throwing her perfectly balanced life into disarray.
Addie Gardner’s career is at its peak, and accepting a last-minute fill-in position as the veterinarian for the US Olympic Dressage Team was a no-brainer. The fact that her old crush from Pony Club is on the team is just a bonus. Not a distraction at all. And it might just offer the chance to be friends with the girl who wouldn’t even give her the time of day 20 years ago.
But Caitlyn and Addie have very different memories of their time together at Pony Club, and their first meeting as adults is less like a reconnection and more like a butting of heads. With the Olympics looming, they’ll need to set aside their history and learn to work together. And maybe Caitlyn and Addie will realize childhood memories aren’t always accurate, and that they have more in common than they would ever have thought. Maybe. Just maybe.

Another great lesbian romance from E. J. Noyes
This is a love story focused around horses, which made it above average for me. However, there's a lot more to this story than that fact alone; it is not a boring, airhead romance but has a depth of plot and characterisation that has a lot to recommend it.
Abby Craden's narration seemed less irritating than her usual efforts. She mostly dropped the cliche, generic American accent, with its over exaggeratedly rolled 'r's that she usually uses to read audiobooks. However, this improvement might be down to the fact that I set the narration speed faster than 100%. She narrates a large part of this audiobook with either a Texas or a Southern drawl but as a Brit I was unsure which, nevertheless it sounded okay to me and clearly distinguished between the main characters. Although, I hope I am not misleading because I can categorically say her British accent is terrible.

A perfect combination...
EJ Noyes is my favourite writer and Abby Craden well... what a voice.
I wasn't compelled by the subject of horses, given I try to avoid riding anything that has bigger teeth than me BUT I loved this.
It was undoubtedly far more comfortable and kinder on my inner thighs than 9 hours of horse riding would have been but I really felt like I was there with them immersed in that world.
I also feel empowered and knowledgeable enough to start foaling...
I don't really. I'm teasing. But if you happen to be anything like Addie and you turned up at my door with a pregnant mare? Just know I wouldn't turn you away!

Seasoned narrator but.......
This popular narrator is someone i need to take a break from on occasions because her 'voices' are all the same, this means the characters meld into each other. The main protagonists always sound the same , one sounds feminine and gentle the other voice tends to be edgy and less feminine, harder to visualise 'two beautiful women', when the story describes them as such. The narrators 'tried and test' nuances are predictable. The story is not one of Noyes best, Pleasant listen not much else.

A dressage themed book that gets it right!
Loved this book, it’s the only one I have listened to twice! Not only is it a fantastic story, but as someone who lives in the world of competitive dressage it is a first for me to come across a book that gets it right. I can picture every yard and every competition, the sounds, the stress, I can even relate to some of the characters. Amazing book, am sure I will come back to it over and over again.
