The March episode of the EQA book club. If you love books, this is the perfect place for you. Once a month, Heather, Ute and sometimes Krystal, will talk about their favourite horsey book. Today Ute has invited Carly Kade, author of three novels to join her, chatting about her book In the Reins, a horse romance for adults. They also talk about how to become a writer, establish a writing routine and how and why to go the independent publishing route.
In the Reins by Carly Kade
Horse Romance for Adults
Do you love to read a good romance with a horsey background?
Then you will love In the Reins written by Carly Kade. The book is a bout Devon, a city girl who has recently moved into the country to reconnect with her childhood love: horses. She buys the Paint Horse mare Faith and finds a barn to keep and ride her and hopes to train her well enough to show her in Westen Pleasure competitions. Very soon she meets and falls for McKennon Kelly, a handsome horse trainer and cowboy. Devon is drawn irreversibly to his charms, but he has a mysterious secret everyone except herself seems to know about. As the story unfolds, Devon and McKennon get closer as he agrees to help her train her horse but can a man with a dark secret really open up to a wannabe cowgirl?
