Lauren Brooke's sassy and spirited girls (and horses) are back once again in this the fifth installment of her heartwarming series.

Dylan admits that it isn't always easy being the niece of the new Director of Riding, Ali Carmichael - especially not when the riding teams blame Ms. Carmichael for their poor performance at a big event. Then Dylan hears rumors that the former, respected Director of Riding wants her old job back.

But with all the whispers and secrets, she has no idea who is on her side - and who is not.

This review is from: Playing for Keeps (Chestnut Hill #4) (Paperback)

This book was filled w. excitment ever since u opened the first couple of pages. When Lani is being forced to leave b/c of her grades she tries hard to get them up and overwhelms herself. A stress related riding crash and excuses not to get back onto her favorite pony cause a dispute among friends. When Lani shows her dad that she really belongs by putting together a rodeo day fundraiser w/ a famous pro rodeo star to give money to a charity. Will it ever work? This book kept u on the edge of your seat constantly flipping the pages:-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart Stopping---Wistfull---Breath Taking, July 10, 2006

By

This review is from: Heart of Gold (Chestnut Hill #3) (Paperback)

Honey has a twin brother, Sam, but it takes a picture following out of her photo-album and Dylan picking it up for her to tell Dylan, Lani, and Malory that she has a twin. Or she wouldn't have said anything. It all takes place after Thanksgiving break and but during break Honey had learned horrifing news about Sam. Who was sick for over a year and just when they were thinking he was going to get better the same illness came back. After Sam goes to the hospital Honey is even more determined not to tell her friends about Sam's illness. I'm not much for crying but when Honey was talking to her parents about how keeping her apart from Sam when he's in the hospital or at home was making her worry even more about her brother and how he's doing my eyes kept tearing up and I had to blink a lot so I could keep on reading. I suggest you read it, it's full of brotherly-sisterly love and hope, but LOL, you should read it as the series goes after the first two books: #1 The New Class and #2 Making Strides.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Scheme Team (Chestnut Hill, Book 5) (Paperback)

I had rerad the Heartland series and when I foung out Lauren Brooke was coming out with a new series I knew I had to get it. The books are about 4 girls who are all from different backgrounds yet they are the best of friends. They all have an enemy named Lynsey who has a top class pony and iis a total snob. The books show how they deal with tuff decisions andget throug life just being friends. Their love of horses is also especially noticed in this book. so if you love horses you should definitaly read this book!
