Book Review: To Win Her Favor

A book was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

About the book:

A gifted rider in a world where ladies never race, Maggie Linden is determined that her horse will become a champion. But the one man who could help her has vowed to stay away from thoroughbred racing forever.

An Irishman far from home, Cullen McGrath left a once prosperous life in England because of a horse racing scandal that nearly ruined him. He's come to Nashville for a fresh start, hoping to buy land and begin farming, all while determined to stay as far away from thoroughbred racing as possible. But starting over proves harder than he'd wagered, especially when Maggie Linden's father makes him an offer he shouldn't accept yet cannot possibly refuse.

Maggie is certain that her mare, Bourbon Belle, can take the top purse in the inaugural Peyton Stakes, the richest race ever run in America. Maggie only needs the chance to prove it. To give her that chance---and to save Linden Downs from being sold to the highest bidder---Maggie's father, aging, yet wily as ever, makes a barter. His agreement includes one tiny, troublesome detail---Maggie must marry a man she's never met. A man she never would have chosen for herself.

About the author:

Tamera Alexander is a best-selling novelist whose deeply drawn characters, thought-provoking plots, and poignant prose resonate with readers. Having lived in Colorado for seventeen years, she and her husband now make their home in Nashville, Tennessee, along with their two adult children who live near by. And don't forget Jack, their precious---and precocious---silky terrier.

My Opinion

I have read many Tamara Alexander books and am always a big fan! I was so excited to read her latest novel, To Win Her Favor!

This book started out a little slow for me and it was hard for me to get into the plot and story line. However, I really liked the setting and learning about horse racing and the post-Civil War era that this book was set in. It was a very unique setting that I have never read about before!

The book did pick up towards the middle and then I was really able to get excited about the characters, the story and the connection between Maggie and Cullen!

Buy It: 

You can purchase To Win Her Favor for $11.63 from Amazon.com
