They’re from two different worlds.

He lives in the estate house, and she spends most of her time in the stables helping her father train horses. In fact, Savannah has always been much more comfortable around horses than boys. Especially boys like Jack Goodwin—cocky, popular and completely out of her league. She knows the rules: no mixing between the staff and the Goodwin family. But Jack has no such boundaries.

With her dream of becoming a horse jockey, Savannah isn’t exactly one to follow the rules either. She’s not going to let someone tell her a girl isn’t tough enough to race. Sure, it’s dangerous. Then again, so is dating Jack…

Out of all of Miranda Kenneally books, Racing Savannah has to be my second favorite -- Catching Jordan being the first, of course.

I have to admit that the last two books Kenneally has released weren’t horrible, but did not blow me away either. Ever since Catching Jordan I have been waiting for her to release something just as good, if not better, but it just hasn’t happened. However, I never gave up hope. I love her writing style; I love the characters she creates, so I will always read what she puts out in the world.

I jumped into Racing Savannah a little hesitant because of this, though. I really, really wanted to love it. After I finished reading it I asked myself “What the heck was I worried about?” It rocked my socks!

One thing I love most about Miranda Kenneally’s characters is that they seem so real. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. There is always at least one character that I can say hey, I know someone like that. You can easily compare them to someone you know in real life. It is so easy to connect with them and put yourself in their shoes. No surprise that with Racing Savannah I quickly fell in love with all the characters. Another thing I love is that the author always gives readers an update on past characters. It brings back all the emotions I had while reading the other books in the series.

Racing Savannah felt a lot like Catching Jordan to me. It was different in so many ways, but the same feelings I got while reading Catching Jordan, I got reading Racing Savannah. I’ve been waiting for this book since forever. It had everything I hoped and more!

I need more! I also love the cover. It fits the story perfectly! A Good Choice for Reading. :)
