Taking the Reins by Ivy Bailey
A Riders-inspired YA romance, perfect for fans of Hannah Grace, Jilly Cooper and Emily Henry.
Talented but consistently overlooked, Sophie has never been able to catch a break. Riding is her life, but she hasn’t been raised with a stable in her garden the same way some of her competition have. But this summer is different – she’s just earned herself a spot at the prestigious Blackwood Equestrian Camp.
Luke, the camp’s star jumper, is charming, wealthy and actually a very sweet boy at heart. His dad owns the Blackwood estate, so he’s always had it easy and never met a girl who doesn’t fall at his feet . . . until Sophie.
Scrappy Finley, a stable hand who works for the estate, has a talent for breaking in difficult horses. He’s brooding, rough around the edges and hiding a secret that could ruin him.
When a major riding competition is on the line, forcing them all to work together, Sophie must decide who really has her heart, and whether she’s willing to risk everything for love.
