The Sport of Baronets by Theresa Romain

The Sport of Baronets is an entertaining novella about the horse racing industry. It is also a romance. This was another kindle book that I downloaded and read over the Christmas period.

This novella focuses on young woman Hannah Chandler and her most recent acquisition.  The champion colt Golden Barb was purchased from a rival family – the Crosbies.  As Hannah approaches Bart Crosby about taking the newly acquired colt home, she is dismayed to find that the handsome young baronet doesn’t take her seriously. It seems she has come to do a job that men should do.

To make matters worse, the horse is stolen whilst Hannah is visiting.  This removes any chance she has of taking him home and showing her father she can help to run the family business.  Hannah battles with the thought that Bart is behind the theft – after all, he has a lot to gain if she cannot acquire the horse that she has purchased.

Hannah and Bart grudgingly work together to solve the mystery before Golden Barb’s next race.  Hannah is amazed to find in this process that she is drawn to Bart.  It seems that the attraction is mutual.

The Sport of Baronets by Theresa Romain

The Sport of Baronets is a fast paced, easy read.  It is a horsey romance that is for adult readers.  Some content would not be suitable for younger readers. The historical focus is an added bonus.
