“After a crashing fall, champion rider Phil Nicholas returns to racing, but though his body has healed, his mind has not. Flashbacks of his accident invade his dreams, rob him of his sleep – and freeze him in the saddle. While Phil is battling to overcome his fear, his weighing-room colleague Adrian Moore is viciously attacked after losing a race he should have won. It’s the start of a vendetta by someone determined to hurt those who break the rules of racing. If Phil wants to save the sport – and the woman he loves – it’s time for him to recover his nerve…”


So this probably wouldn’t have been a book that I would have picked upon my own, however it was in a box of books that I had bid on through ebay. You never know what you will get when you recieve your box of books. So with that being said, ….

I liked the book. It was a bit slow in the begininng and at times I was a big confused. It’s an english author so some wordage was different for me, and I don’t follow horse racing/jumping was new for me as well. But building up to the end, I was turning page by page as quickly as I could to learn the outcome of the story.

I have some more books by this author in that box of mine, and yes, I will probably read them in time.
