Over dit e-boek

Kristiana Liepa was supposed to use the money to save her family farm. She was NOT supposed to spend it all to save a massive, black stallion.

But when she saw how he was being treated, what's a vet to do?

She had no idea that gorgeous beast was really a powerful (and morally gray) magician who had been cursed by a witch, or that she was the only one who could reverse the curse.

And she couldn't possibly have known how that one rash decision would irrevocably change her life. . . and his.

Need a little more information to make up your mind? Read a trade review and a longer description below:

Publisher’s Weekly said, “My Queendom for a Horse is an intriguing paranormal romance with a fresh and fun setup. [R]eaders will enjoy both the magical and romantic elements.” They also said, “The story of a shapeshifting horse is undoubtedly unique. The author puts a dynamic spin on fairytale tropes, while her knowledge and love of horses is evident throughout. A strong, confident female character takes center stage in this novel with her ability to talk to a cursed horse.”

Here's the longer description with more detail: 

Kristiana’s father has a gambling problem. After a particularly bad hand of cards puts their family’s land in jeopardy, her dad’s solution is to call her billionaire ex. But Kris can't bring herself to beg him for money. At least, not her first time seeing him in ten years. Instead, she withdraws her life savings and bets on herself.

Thankfully, it pays off! She and her most promising horse win big at the Down Royal steeplechase in Ireland, but only because the best horse on the track wasn’t ridden properly. Luckily, it’s just enough to grant a stay of execution with the bank. Or it would be. . .

But when Kris realizes her nemesis is abusing the gorgeous black stallion who should have won, she can’t help herself. She spends her winnings buying the horse she fell for the moment she saw him. It may not be the smartest move in the short run, but Obsidian Devil's her best hope of finally digging out from under the massive debt hanging over them. She’ll have to ask her ex to help with the next payment, but seeing him again won't be so bad.

What Kris doesn’t know is that her new purchase is actually a powerful magician, stuck in horse form by a witch’s curse. She also has no idea that she’ll be the only person who can help him lift the curse. . . And worst of all, that helping him may mean losing the family farm for good.

Beoordelingen en reviews

Loved it! Ms Baker definitely knows her horses and paints a fair Russian aristocrat from before the Russian Revolution. The connection they make as rider and horse is lovely, funny and sweet, the connection they make as a woman and a man is far from easy. But full of humorous banter and developing understanding. Evil is lurking in the shadows. It makes for a first book in a series that keeps you wondering what is next. Highly recommended.

Over de auteur

Bridget Baker loves her husband and all five of her kids (most days). She has two yappy dogs and a bouncy dog, five goofy horses, lions head rabbits, more chickens than she will admit to having, and two demanding cats. Every day is a battle between playing with kids, riding her horse Leo, and writing. (Plus, now she's homeschooling the two youngest children...) If her publication speed has slowed down, you can blame the kids and the horses.

She makes cookies all the time and thinks they should have their own food group. In a (possibly misguided) attempt at balancing the scales between overconsumption and exertion, she kickboxes every day. So if you don't like her kids, her cookies, or her books, maybe don't tell her in person.

Bridget E. Baker also writes romance and women's fiction under the pen name B. E. Baker.
