My Review for Luck by Natalie Keller Reinert, read by Barrie Kreinik
Luck is definitely something Jules and Pete need right now. They have nowhere to live, and there's a very real possibility that they'll have to give up their horses and their dreams if things don't work out. My heart was breaking for them so many times while listening to this book, and I genuinely couldn't see how they were going to turn things around. 💔
But Jules is a fighter, and as she starts teaching teenagers and passing on everything she knows, she begins to find strength and a new sense of purpose. Sometimes it's other people who help us see things differently, and I loved watching Jules start to look at her future in a new light. ❤️
I'm already looking forward to listening to the next book to see what this lovely horsey couple get up to next. I really don't want this series to end! 🐎💚
About the BookJules and Pete have hit rock bottom. They are living in the middle of nowhere in a tiny horse trailer, their horses are in temporary stalls, and they are dependent on nearby farms for training facilities. Yet somehow, despite all of that, Jules has never been happier. She has her horses and her boyfriend and her loyal beagle, and, for perhaps the first time ever, she feels free. But Pete doesn’t see things the way she does. Still reeling from the loss of Briar Hill, the beautiful farm he was supposed to inherit, Pete struggles to adapt to their new life. And when word of their new circumstances gets out, the owners Jules and Pete depend on begin to question whether or not they can trust them with their horses.
Desperate to shore up their reputation, Jules finds herself teaching students, something she had long ago sworn off. But to her surprise, she actually likes teaching—even the snarky, pink-haired student who is more like Jules than she realizes. As Jules begins to imagine a different kind of life, one arranged around teaching schedules and teenage hopes, Pete schemes to get back to the top of the Ocala equestrian scene. When he resorts to questionable tactics to secure a new horse for his barn, Jules realizes how lost he is. Jules has never considered herself to be lucky—Pete was always the lucky one. But maybe she’s had it wrong all along. Can she convince Pete that the only luck they need is their horses, and each other?
