Up On Horseshoe Hill
'Penelope Janu's fresh, bright, funny new twist on rural romance is an absolute delight. Her wit is as sharp as a knife. She is one of my absolute must-read authors.' Victoria Purman, bestselling Australian author
A kiss can change your life ...
Jemima Kincaid loves her home, her horses and her job as a farrier. Life has not been kind to her, but Jemima is happy in the close-knit rural community of Horseshoe Hill, which rallied around in her hour of need. Even so, she is fiercely independent and will never rely on anyone again.
Particularly a man like Finn Blackwood.
An infuriatingly attractive geneticist and wild animal vet, Finn threatens not only the serenity of Jemima's present, but that of the future she has so carefully mapped out. But as their paths continue to cross, she finds her attraction to Finn impossible to counter, even as the trauma of her past threatens to undo her. Finn is fascinated by Jemima's solitary nature and unique vulnerabilities. But Jemima knows all about loss, and how to avoid it. Don't let anyone get close in the first place ...
As the past begins to cast long shadows, Jemima and Finn discover that a kiss can bring worlds together-or tear them apart. Will they finally face their fears and find love on Horseshoe Hill?

Reviews
Monica Mac on Goodreads: Jemima (only her friends call her Jet) is a farrier in a small rural town. She has had her share of tragedies in her life and they have made her very independent. Enter: Finn, a vet and geneticist who turns her world upside down. He is there to solve a puzzle from Jet's past - a puzzle she doesn't want to think about, something that gives her nightmares. But, he is very persistent and unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view) very attractive and a nice bloke to boot!
There is something about Finn and Jet which just warms the heart. Neither of them are perfect people and Jet is very prickly indeed, but I loved both characters. I also liked the people that Jet had around her, especially Mike and Sapphie.
Beautifully written book, highly recommended.
