The Project Horse by Natalie Keller Reinert

What happens when a bet between friends-turned-rivals makes things extremely personal? Laugh your way to the finish line in this warm-hearted romantic comedy read from award-winning author Natalie Keller Reinert. Posey Malone is heading home. With her horse trainer father gone to the great bookmaker in the sky, her love life in shambles, and her career stalled, she figures it’s best for everyone if she just shacks up with her mom for a while. So when she pulls up in front of the family house and sees a big "For Sale" sign in the front yard, please forgive Posey if she says a few swear words. The good news is that Mom has a new place with room for Posey; the bad news is that it's on the farm where Posey's teenage dreams of equestrian stardom hit the ground more than a decade ago. The worse news is that her mother fully expects her to go back to work in the Thoroughbred training barn where Posey's ex and greatest rival is running the show. The son of her father's ex-partner, Adam made her life a living hell as a teenager. One could almost say Adam broke up her entire family, if one wanted to blame someone. And Posey definitely wants to blame someone. But is this the same Adam she ran away from? When Posey and Adam take on project horses as a bet to see who is the better horse trainer, she finds herself working with him every day...and that the arrogant boy she remembers has been replaced by a handsome man determined to make amends. A story about growing up, coming home, and finding love: The Project Horse will take you on a gallop through Florida's horse country with plenty of friendship, laughter, and redemption along the way.
