Friday, May 11, 2007 Fantastic Friday: Saddled With Trouble by Michelle Scott

It's Friday! It's fantastic! The weather is gorgeous enough to make me wish I could just knock down a wall in my house so I could work "outside". I get to garden this weekend (even get to start my tiller today, whee!power tools!). And I just finished an awesome book.

Saddled with Trouble by Michelle Scott

I love horses and everything that has to do with them, so, of course, when I saw this book, I just HAD to have it. I love equestrian fiction and to this horse lover there's not enough of it on the shelves. I've read very few mysteries, though I love Dick Francis, and thought that this book would be a nice change of pace.

I simply could not put it down. I read it over the course of two nights, and last night I told my other half I was staying up until I got the book finished. Luckily by that point I only had about 40 pages left. I could not guess who killed Lou, a renown horse trainer, and frankly, if you've spent any time at all around the horse show scene, you know the characters in the book. You know, the primadonna Rodeo Queen bitch, the hard working trainer. I felt like I knew these characters and that they were my friends.

The action ran non-stop, and I loved the low-key romance between our heroine and the handsome detective. But, there's a hitch. The hunky vet may have stolen her heart a long time ago. And there's the asshole of an ex-husband.

I'll admit it's been a long time since a book picked me up and carried me along like this one. I can't wait to read the next book in this series, and I'm wishing you a fanastic Friday!
