The Blurb

Rafferty Lincoln Loves… 

A sensational and compelling, coming of age story for older YA (young adult) readers and adults. Foreword by Frankie Dettori MBE, ambassador for the British Thoroughbred Retraining Centre. 

Rafferty Lincoln doesn’t like horses. Not one bit. But when the popular high school girl of his dreams, Liberty Ashburn pulls him into a world of lead ropes and horse brushes, who is he to say no?

Except this isn’t any old horse. This is the missing racehorse, Profits Red Ridge. The horse Rafferty and three of his friends are hiding from the world. And Liberty Ashburn isn’t just any ordinary high school girl. How far will Rafferty go to win her over?

Genre: Young Adult

My review:

An enjoyable coming of age romance with an adventure that puts a group of teenagers to the test. Developed around the children discovering what they believe to be a missing racehorse, the adventure propels the group of unlikely friends on a journey of self-discovery. I tend to read HEA books, but as this is the second book I have read from this author I knew to expect something a little different. I wasn’t wrong. The writing, like the story, is engaging and keeps you turning the pages. The moral, that actions have consequences, is hit home in a thought-provoking manner, that will touch even the hardest heart. The characters are diverse, interesting, well developed and relatable. Another great Emily Williams read and how fab that the proceeds from this book will be donated to the British Thoroughbred Retraining Centre!
