My grown up horse girl heart LOVED Ambition! It was a fantastic and enthralling listen! I can’t wait for the next one!

This book took FOREVER to get into. Basically, this book doesn’t start until chapter 13/14. I almost think it would have been helpful to start the book there and then sprinkle the rest in throughout the book. I almost quit. Once the book started, it held my attention. Jules is a very hardworking horse woman that just wants to make enough money to support her horse business and show the world she’s a successful horse trainer. I did enjoy seeing what would happen to Jules throughout her journey. Jules is very stubborn and wants things her way. Sometimes her way doesn’t always go well. I throughly enjoyed when Peter was weaved into the story. The narrator did a great job with this story. Huge thanks to Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for allowing me to listen and review this story.

The horse girl within me absolutely squealed throughout the entire book. Reinert expertly captures exactly what it’s like to be part of the equestrian world!!! The characters are well-rounded and I was left constantly wanting to have ‘just one more chapter’

If Jules and Peter’s dynamic doesn’t leave you wanting more, I can guarantee that Dynamo and Mickey will steal your heart completely.

Reinert truly balances out the realism of the equestrian world and melds it within the realm of fiction. It was truly a pleasure to listen to and it absolutely healed a part of my horse-loving soul that desperately wanted a novel that NAILED what it’s like to be submerged in this horse world full of challenges, heartbreak, and sacrifice— with humor sprinkled in throughout the entire book.

Kreinik’s narration of the book was utterly delightful! She brought Jules to life so much so that it was hard not to fall into the idea that it was actually Jules’ speaking! The pace of the narration was excellent without going too fast, but perfectly building up climatic movements. Kreinik masterfully creates such an engaging narration that leaves her listeners fully believing that they are present in the midst of all the novel’s events and not just listening to an audiobook on their way home.

If you’re looking for a horse book that actually has horses woven into the story as supporting characters, this is it! I loved how nearly every single page had horses woven into it.

It’s also so refreshing to have a female protagonist who is wonderfully imperfect. You’ll cheer for Jules, love her, ache for her, and get so incredibly frustrated with her all at the same time! She’s a character that embodies so much of what it feels like to make your mark in a world where money is everything. I’m so, so, so eager to continue this series and see how far Jules, Peter, Dynamo, Mickey, and Regina will go!!

In Dynamo I trust, forever!

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this book!!

What a great book!! It had me hooked from page one! I couldn’t put this down. I finished it in one sitting. I enjoyed the storyline and the characters. This was a first for me by this author but it will not be my last!!
