Synopsis

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.Longer blurb: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.

Unique and Lovely Romance, horses, and a shifter! What’s not to love?!! I loved this read and now I’m left waiting for the next book! Creative and inventive and well written and edited.

I never connected with the FMC. She has a somewhat anger-prone, monologuing personality and also habitually says no when she means yes. She pushes away the hero constantly. Even at the end, she is still denying her feelings. If I was the hero, that would be the last straw. I’d be thinking, “She is i......more

My Queendom for a Horse had me reading into the early morning hours. I love horses and this cover is gorgeous but I also loved the story. It was fast-paced with a slow-burn enemies to lovers romance. I was on the edge of my seat rooting for Aleksandr the entire book. I am so intrigued about the curs......more
