Resumen del Editor

When her first novel, Adored, was published, critics and listeners alike agreed that Tilly Bagshawe had put the glamour back into the blockbuster, giving it a fun, sexy, and totally modern new spin. Now Bagshawe is back with another intoxicating tale of ambition, backstabbing, and unbridled passion - this time set in the most dazzling racing capitals of the world.

Bobby Cameron is a cowboy through and through. After inheriting Highwood, his father’s magnificent but debt-ridden ranch in California’s Santa Ynez Valley, Bobby travels wherever he’s wanted, breaking horses for their wealthy owners and raising the cash he needs to protect his land. That’s all he cares about - until he meets a young English girl named Milly Lockwood Groves.

Forbidden to race because of a childhood accident and her mother’s notions about unladylike behavior, the 17-year-old daughter of a millionaire Newmarket breeder is still secretly determined to follow her dreams. Then Bobby Cameron strides into her life, and nothing is ever the same.

She accepts his offer to work for a year at Highwood, desperate to make a name for herself in racing...and for Bobby to see her as a woman.

Caught up in a world where unscrupulous horse owners and billionaire media moguls rub shoulders - and more - with oversexed racing widows and fiercely ambitious jockeys, Milly must discover if she has what it takes to be a winner - on the track, in the bedroom, and, ultimately, in the game of love.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Horse Whisperer and National Velvet meet Jackie Collins behind the barn in this libidinous fly-on-the-stall peek at horse racing and California real estate chicanery, just in time for beach read season." (Publishers Weekly)

Just couldn't get into it

Would you try another book from Tilly Bagshawe and/or Gillian Doyle?

I've read and enjoyed many other Tilly Bagshawe books but this just didn't do it for me even after going back to it 3 different times

Short on story long on mediocre sex scenes

What disappointed you about Showdown?

This book was short on story. Story lines opened up and never went anywhere. Bobby the main male character was a a brooding pathological git up til the last 3 minutes of the story. Don't waste your time or your 2 credits.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The pronunciation was bad in places. Made me roll my eyes.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Frustration and disappointment were the order of the day.

Great story

I thought this book was an excellent read. A definite must if you like horse tales along with biting romance and interesting characters. A great way to pass my commute time every morning.
