This is a story about Amy's spring break. She returns to Heartland in the middle of everything and has trouble coping with all the differences in not only Heartland but also the people there. She ends up getting a call from a friend from college, Will, who asks her to come down to Arizona to help a horse. Then Amy has to decide whether to leave Heartland behind again while she travels on to Arizona. The end of this book left me very sad and upset. I really hope that Brooke will write another Heartland book because without another story the series would seem incomplete. Although I still really enjoyed the book like I've enjoyed all the Hearltand books the ending really left me surprised and sad.

This book was very good. I however didn't like how it ended, it was rather depressing. A very good book, but it had one of those endings that make you hate the book. I'm not going to tell you what went down. This book was about Amy's spring break. When she returns to Heartland, things are different and she feels awkward and sad because she isn't use to changes. Than in Arizona there's a troubled horse that needs Amy's help. She goes, and realizes that things haved changed whether she likes it or not. And it's time to face those changes.

This is the most amazing book in the series! Amy comes home from college for Spring Break. While she is thrilled to be back at Heartland, she finds things have changed, including her relationship with Ty. When she gets an urgent call from her friend Will about a troubled horse, Amy heads to a ranch in Arizona. Once there, Amy goes Western and works with Loup, a horse who needs to find his trust in riders again. Amy has one week to get Loup ready for the cattle drive. Will she succeed and bring the old Loup back? Amy also finds that when she returns home, she needs to make a difficult decision about her relationship with Ty. This book is a must read for Heartland fans! I think Lauren Brooke is coming out with yet another special! Thank you Lauren for writing more Heartland books!
