Pride was a propulsive and well-written read. I liked the audio narrator. the character study was thorough.

I DNFed this one. I like the horses, the eventing, Peter. But Jules is impossible to read for me. I thought that she'd be humbled after the events of book 1, but nope.

Thank you for the opportunity. No public reviews were posted since I DNFed it.

Pride, the second book in The Eventing Series by Natalie Keller Reinert was equally as compelling as Ambition, the first book in this series. It picked up right where Ambition left off. I was surprised at how much I was enjoying this series. Jules’ character had begun to grow on me and I felt myself rooting for her. I admired how patient and understanding Pete was with Jules. I listened to the audiobook of Pride. It was narrated by one of my favorite narrators, Barrie Kreinik, who did a fabulous job distinguishing between the voices of the characters in Pride.

After living through and surviving the devastating hurricane and coming to grips with the reality of loosing her farm, Jules Thornton and Pete Morrison had settled into a nice and comfortable routine at Briar Hill Farm. Even though Jules swore she would never get involved romantically with another horse person, she had fallen hard for Pete Morrison and he for her. The hurricane had caused insurmountable damage to the farm she skimped and saved to buy but Pete had saved her in more ways than she could have imagined. Pete had opened his heart, home and farm to Jules. Everything was going along just fine until Pete received a phone call that offed him a sponsorship in England that he could not pass up. As a condition to accepting the sponsorship, Pete requested that Jules be offered a sponsorship as well. Jules quickly learned that her sponsorship would be up near Orlando. She was to remain in Florida. Even though Jules was feeling a little sorry for herself and a little jealous of Pete’s sponsorship, she accepted the lesser sponsorship for herself. Of course, Jules arrived at her own sponsorship with a chip on her shoulder and a know it all attitude. Will Jules’ and Pete’s relationship survive the distance that separates them in their respective sponsorships? Will Jules allow herself to be open to advice from her mentor, possible criticism and the possibility of learning new and better ways to train her horses? I am looking forward to listening to the next audiobook in this series. I recommend reading or listening to Pride. This series should be read in order to enjoy it fully.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio for allowing me to listen to the audiobook of Pride (The Eventing Series) by Natalie Keller Reinert through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Engaging and entertaining. A recommended purchase for collections where WF and adult horst stories are popular.

This book was still a little bit slow for my—similar to the first book, but I did enjoy it a bit more. I loved all the horse content that part of the book is very well done. I did enjoy watching Jules navigate life. She’s sometimes a hard character to like. This series is a little bit different than my usual romances, but different is sometimes a good thing. All in all, a solid story. I’m interested enough to keep going with the series. I thought the narrator did a fine job. Big thanks to Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for allowing me to listen and review this book.
