They say you should never go back, but glamorous Ronnie Percy did just that, to the home she ran away from with her lover.
But not everyone is finding it easy to forgive and forget.
Daughter Pax, fighting for custody of her small son as her own marriage disintegrates, is furious to have to spend New Year's Eve waiting for some stranger her mother has invited to help run the family stud farm.
Even more annoyed is the staunchly loyal stud head groom, Lester. Does Ronnie think he's lost his touch with the horses? And anyway, who is this so-called Horsemaker, Luca O'Brien? Why does he seem to be running away from something? And what is the true story of his relationship with grey stallion Beck, once destined for the Olympics, now broken and unrideable, screaming his anger from the Compton Magna stables.
Passionate, sexy, gripping, laced with her trademark wisdom and humour, this is bestselling Fiona Walker at her dazzling best.
Today I am pleased to be taking part in the third week of Fiona Walker's blog tour to celebrate the publication of 'Country Lovers', Fiona's second book in the Compton Magna series.
'Country Lovers' has lots of humour throughout the book.There are twists within the storyline and episodes of passion which spiced up the read, although nothing too graphic. Set in The Cotswolds, it has a beautiful backdrop.
The cast of characters were great.There were some quirky characters, most likeable, a few I wasn't sure of and I especially liked, Luca, the Irishman with a sparkle in his eye. The horses and stables also play a big part in this book, now I must admit I don't really like horses, I have never had the urge to go horse riding and neither have I really read any books that are set around horses and/or stables but I really did enjoy Country Lovers.
Thank you to the publishers,Head of Zeus, for inviting me to take part in the blog tour and for a copy of the book in return for an honest review.
I really like Fiona's writing style. It is easy to read, and although the book is over 600 pages long, it kept my attention and I lost a number of hours as I was engrossed in the stories.
