From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Rivals—now a streaming series on Hulu!

The classic hit every Englishwoman remembers with a sigh—Riders, the steamy, scandalous tale of sexual and equestrian competition within the heroic world of international show jumping.

Welcome to a world of cutthroat competition populated by fearless athletes, wealthy sponsors, and beautiful starlets and set against the glorious Cotswold countryside and the playgrounds of the world. Within this arena we meet the brooding gypsy Jake Lovell, under whose magic hands the most difficult horse or woman becomes biddable, who is driven by his hatred of Rupert Campbell-Black, the handsome and supremely confident star of the show ring. They steal each other's horses and love each other's women as they push themselves and their mounts to impossible extremes, until their feud erupts, with devastating consequences, at the Los Angeles Olympics.

The story & the characters

The characters are well-developed& I became involved & invested in their lives. The story is very interesting.

Passing on the rest of the series

Racy, dicey, despicable behaviors and choices presented as the acceptable norm with main characters developed into even less likeable people by the time this phase of the saga is brought to an end. Just not how I wanted to spend 30+ hours.
