Change Rein by Anne Jolin Review

4 Smooches

Synopsis

London Daniels is returning home to Willow Bay, Alberta, on the heels of a televised loss. She blew her shot at the Summer Olympics and cost Canada the gold medal in dressage.

During her years of training abroad, her family’s stable has fallen on hard times, and thus, they’ve accepted an offer to board the racehorses of Branson Tucker, the infamous tycoon, for the winter.

London lacks conviction after her ill-fated fall. And as if returning to her hometown to watch her epic failure replay on everyone’s big screen isn’t torture enough, she’s expected to cater to a man with an ego bigger than her hundred-acre farm just to earn a dime.

Is London saddling up for another ride that will leave both her heart and her ass in the dirt? Or could the handsome, unwanted guest at Willow Bay Stables be her second chance to go for gold?

Review

“This man, whoever he is, is beautiful. My heart is wildly lunging to have him next to me, but my body is too weak from his presence to take me there.”

Sexy, witty and fun Change Rein is a fast read that you won’t be able to put down. Anne Jolin is a talented writer who grabs your attention from the start and has you so engrossed in her stories that you don’t even realize that you have ignored the real world for hours while you fell in live with her characters.

“He’s stolen every though from my mind, all of which now belonging to the cowboy heart throb coming my way.”

When London’s Olympic career ends with a crash and a bad interview leaves her all over the gossip pages, she returns home to help run her family stables. Branson had become obsessed with the girl sh saw on TV and in the pages of magazines and even before meeting her feels an intense connection (don’t judge just go with it) but he needs to meet her in person. When a fire at his stables gives him the perfect opportunity to be near her by boarding his horses on her family farm he finds that the connection he feels is not just in his head but intense and real and definitely felt by London from their first meeting.

“If anyone could hear the way I am thinking about her, they’d send me to the nuthouse. I am pretty sure I’m in love with this woman, even though I am only meeting her for the first time. Even I’m not ignorant to how absolutely crazy that sounds.”

I know not everyone is a fan of insta-love I personally am not bothered by it and actually enjoy the manner in which Branson even jokes how ridiculous it all was but still acknowledges the fact that he cannot change that this is how he feels. Branson is all kinds of crazy billionaire and boy did I love it for him. One part stalker, one part sex god and one part loving caring man he is both someone I was weary of and rooting for all at the same time. He kept me interested and eager to see where it was all going and I found myself pleasantly surprised at how everything played out in the end.

“I’m not here to mess around. I’m here to make her mine. Even if I come across like a jackass while doing it.”

The only thing I could say about this book is that I wish it was longer. I loved the characters and story so much I wish I had more time to connect with them and for them to connect with each other. Not at all something that should deter you from buying this book but still something worth mentioning.

“He’s every woman’s dream, but he’s my reality.”

Change Rein is an intense and exciting start to a series I am incredibly excited about. Supremely sexy and a quick read this is one book you don’t want to miss.
