Jump in the saddle for a fun but bumpy ride!

Few will hire competitive rider, Viola Parker, since the famous jumper, Wastrel, crashed to his death with her aboard. Not only that, her attitude just landed her out of work...again. She can barely afford her whipped-cream-in-a-can addiction.

Now, before she's 30, she must keep a job for one year and receive a glowing letter of recommendation to get a surprise trust fund set up by her absentee parents. A trust fund that could represent freedom and independence - or might be worth nothing.

Vi accepts a farm manager position and moves from Long Island to Missouri thinking that if she only follows her three new rules then keeping a job for one year will be easy:

• No smarting off
• No drinking
• No sleeping with the boss

The last of which proves to be a real challenge when she meets the man who hired her. He's working the surfer good looks, a super-hero jaw, and wearing a kilt.

But when Wastrel begins haunting her dreams and dead bodies start piling up, the question isn’t whether she can earn a reference from her hunky boss, Malcolm, but whether she’ll live long enough to get it.

This set includes the complete Dream Horse mysteries:

• Cold Backed, a Dream Horse Mystery, prequel
• On the Buckle, Dream Horse Mystery, book 1
• Run Out, Dream Horse Mystery, book 2
• Wrong Lead, Dream Horse Mystery, book 3

Didn't know what to expect.

I didn't know what to expect but it was pretty good! Not a bad mystery series.

Light and fun.

Books one and three were better than 2. After the second I almost didn’t listen to the third. Glad I did. It was much better.
Not a serious series. Good light hearted mystery with the added joy of horses.

Fun mystery story

Fun series to listen to. Love some horse horse mysteries with a happy ending. No one wants dead horses

Completely enthralled

This series hits all the points. Love love love. Horses, romance, mystery. This series is perfect.

Brain candy: No nutritional value, but still yummy

Fun story with reasonably good narration. I really liked that the series all came together as one "read" as opposed to having to buy separate books. The writer clearly knows equestrians and their close relationships with their horses. I was also very pleased that there were no anthropomorphic aspects to the story. I wish there hadn't been the very descriptive sex scene in book 3 though. I understand why the author did it. I just felt that they went too far with the description.
