Book Review – A Run at Love

A Run at Love

by Toni Shiloh

A CONTENDER RUNNING FOR THE ROSES

As a Black woman in a field with little diversity, Piper McKinney is determined to make her mark on the horse-racing world. Raised on a Thoroughbred farm in Kentucky, Piper’s dream is for her horse to win the prestigious Kentucky Derby. With the help of her best friend and trainer, Tucker Hale, she gains national attention but must grapple with the complications that arise when a journalist delves into her past as a transracial adoptee.

A BEST FRIEND RACING FOR LOVE

In an effort to win Piper’s heart, Tucker formulates a plan to train Piper’s horse to victory, hoping to prove himself to her, her parents, and his own self-doubts. Then a shocking scandal hits the media, implicating both Piper and her parents, and she and Tucker will have to survive the onslaught to find their way to the winner’s circle–and each other.

My Thoughts

This second book in Toni Shiloh’s Love in the Spotlight series is fantastic! Fun and an adorably sweet romance!
I loved reading about Piper and Tuck. It was great watching their romance blossom and spring into full bloom.
But…they had a few bumps along the road, and all in all, these characters are well written.
I enjoyed getting to know a little bit more about the horse racing world, and horses in general.

I found this a fascinating and intriguing story, and look forward to reading more by this author!
