Peyton's done it again..,
This review is from: Greater Gains (Hardcover)
This sequel to 'Small Gains' picks up pretty much immediately where Small Gains left off. Ellen has become even more of a whippersnapper leading her into all sorts of trouble. A death in the community causes some rather unexpected changes and at the back of it all, the horses are still racing. A superb book. I didn't put it down until I'd read it. Wonderful.
5.0 out of 5 stars

Wonderful Horse-y Romance,
By Jennie Lyn "jennielyn" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Greater Gains (Definitions) (Paperback)
K. M. Peyton is a wonderful author in the vein of Georgette Heyer, Jane Austen, D. E. Stevenson, etc. While this book takes some of the irritating liberties that modern romance writers tend to take with the Regency and Victorian periods, it is just good enough on the horse front to excuse itself. You come to really care about the heroine, who is just young enough to be your daughter and old enough to be yourself.
I would NOT give this to a girl under the age of 14 because of the sex, but would give it to any true horse lover that age or older. Another great(er) K. M. Peyton is "Right-hand Man," though I believe this is out of print. The Flambards series is, of course, also superb -- albeit a little later period. |
