Book Description

November 1, 1999
Liz Connell couldn't buy a win, even if she still had any money...

A steep losing streak is taking its toll on jockey Liz Connell. Dejected, she agrees to let a rookie track reporter do a feature on her, while she teaches him about horses, starting with the difference between a filly and a colt.

Cam is in serious need of a good story, and his new billet as Track Reporter isn't likely to get him one, but as he follows Liz around, and gains her trust, he suspects her losing streak isn't just bad luck, it's deliberate. The more time Cam spends with Liz, the more neither one can deny the attraction that is out of control between them.

Someone is out to ruin Liz, and her uncle's stables. Or is it even Bill, himself, losing his touch after too many years in the biz?

This fast paced book has this pair neck and neck in a race for answers, and they find them, after a nearly fatal accident in the final turn.

Someone is out to ruin Liz, and her uncle's stables. Or is it even Bill, himself, losing his touch after too many years in the biz?

5.0 out of 5 stars A thrilling ride, June 29, 2000
By 
This review is from: In the Home Stretch (Paperback)
This book reflects the "romantic," often dangerous, and sometimes manic dedication required to be a player in highstakes horseracing. Jen Safrey's heroine jockey is thoroughly modern, smart,athletic, gutsy and stubbornly independent. The book's details about the sport of racing are compelling. The romantic relationship, between jockey and reporter, defies stereotypes and is supercharged, fresh and contemporary. The book's mystery is as fast-paced as the sport it highlights. A warm human-interest story set against a seemingly impersonal and improbable backdrop. A noteworthy first effort by Jen Safrey.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect blend of mystery and romance!, June 7, 2000
This review is from: In the Home Stretch (Paperback)
An extremely well-written book. This book combines mystery and romance with the excitement of a day at the racetrack. Cam, our hero, is the kind of guy every woman wants to find. Most romance novels portray the heroines as weak and feeble damsels in distress. Liz, our heroine, is strong, smart, brave and independent - and a non-virgin to boot! A refreshing change! This book also teaches you everything about horseracing behind the scenes. It was clearly well-researched. Romance readers and mystery readers alike will enjoy this book. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: In the Home Stretch (Paperback)
A fun read by a promising up and coming romance writer who seems to know a lot about the track. Highly recommended. This book will change the way you feel about equine romance!
