If you love accurate, well-written horse racing fiction, you've found your next favorite series! Set in the world of Canadian horse racing, you'll travel from Canada's foremost track, Woodbine, to America's top racing venues: Belmont, Saratoga, Keeneland, Gulfstream and Santa Anita.
Book 1: Good Things Come - 2020 Dr Tony Ryan Award Finalist If Liv Lachance wasn't such a control freak, it wouldn't have rubbed her the wrong way when the farm's new exercise rider stepped in to resuscitate newborn Chique, the first foal out of her father's favourite mare. Nate Miller's equal parts good-looking and good with horses, and the kind of distraction she can't afford as a woman trying to make it in a man's world. What she doesn't expect is for Nate to become key to her plan to get Chique to Canada's most prestigious race: the Queen's Plate. Book 2: All The Little Things While Liv prepares Chique for the second jewel of the Canadian Triple Crown and is trying to navigate her growing feelings for Nate, her best friend, Faye Taylor is trying to get over her broken heart while helping keep the farm she and her brother inherited afloat. Taking over a local café is a chance to supplement her income and new-guy Will's baking skills might come in handy. She's not looking to get attached...but all the little things are starting to add up. Book 3: All Good Things The Canadian Triple Crown is on the line, and Chique's back to her old tricks, leaving Liv and Nate scratching their heads in frustration. Figuring her out earns Nate the chance to ride in California for the winter and Liv thinks she's doing the right thing by encouraging him to go - without her. It takes the winter apart for them to appreciate what they have, but the love they share - for the horses, and the sport - might be what ultimately drives them apart.
Reviews for the Good Things Come Series:
Shantz has written a fantastic debut novel set within the behind-the-scenes setting of the (Canadian) racing industry with backdrops of Woodbine and its Queen's Plate, Churchill Downs...and Snowbird destinations like Gulfstream and Payson Park. - Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame.
Mixing together hope, heartbreak and romance, a dash of rivalry, and a great deal of excitement, Good Things Come delivers all the goods in terms of top-notch racing fiction. Set in the world of Canadian racing, the story is that of an intense young woman, a troubled young man, and the quirky but talented filly they both love. This is the first book written by an accomplished equine artist and former backside worker who knows her subject well and tells it with a master's hand. - Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award for excellence in Thoroughbred racing literature, finalist 2020.
Good Things Come...delivers sure-footed racing realities, a deliciously slow-burn relationship, and a jock for the ages-all in vivid, evocative prose that belies the book's debut status. - Diana Hurlburt, Readers Up
I'm so happy to have found an author whose knowledge of the world of horse racing is equaled by her ability to craft a really engaging story. What a gift!!
Characters are unlike any others I've read about in equestrian fiction before.
This series is not just good - but GREAT.
