Sweet and charming, The Earl’s Christmas Colt is the perfect little read for a light Saturday afternoon.When Lady Arabella’s brother informs her that she has been promised to an older man she’s never met, she doesn’t take the news well. Leaving her home in a rush to spend a few hours on horseback seemed like a great idea until her horse comes up lame. Soaked from the rain and worried about her mare, she heads to the Inn and meets a handsome, intriguing man she assumes is a businessman.He’s not, though. He’s her intended. And he’s about to be completely taken by surprise by the fiery Lady Arabella.Everything about this story tugged me in. Arabella’s emotions as she realizes the life she’d been leading was about to come to an end, Oliver’s guilt and uncertainty of how to handle the feisty lady he has taken an interest in. It all makes for a charming love story that starts and ends with the horses the characters love.I knew I liked Rebecca’s words when I reviewed The Blacksmith’s Son, and The Earl’s Christmas Colt was just as sweet and charming. I’ll be keeping my eye out for more works by this author.
