Melanie's new horse is named Hi Jinx, and he sure lives up to his name.

 

Now that Image is injured, Melanie needs to find another horse to race. She hasn't found one she feels really connected to just yet. But all that's about to change.

While visiting Image at Townsend Acres, Melanie meets a gorgeous brown Thoroughbred named Hi Jinx - he looks just like his ancestor, the famous racehorse Seabiscuit! Melanie feels an instant bond with this powerful animal. She and Jazz have been talking about owning a horse together, so why not this one?

But before they even get back to Whitebrook, Hi Jinx starts acting up - big-time! Will Melanie be able to get him to behave before it's too late?

 

Melanie has picked another crazy horse! And this time instead of being spoilt he's just plain mean! It's in his bloodlines!

I really don't know what to tell you guys. I read this book in a day. Literally. It held my attention, but there was no heart pounding racing in it. I do love the whole rescuing the crazy horse and making it better, but throughout the whole book I've been thinking hit it! HIT IT! HIT IT! Honestly... I apologise for the violence, and they do say that throughout the whole book that the reason Hi Jinx is such an ass is because of the violence in his past. Maybe he is a Blackbelle horse who you can't force him to do anything. That being said if he is being naughty a quick smack will sort him out.

 

This book in a nutshell: Melanie buys a crazy horse because Image is out of action. Jinx bites everything in sight, everyone hates him including Jazz except for Mel. Jazz doubts Mel's awesomeness, which pisses her off. Kevin becomes all knight in shining armour to help Mel and I wonder for the millionth time why Mel is with Jazz apart from the fact that he funds her crazy buying crazy horses fetish. If I were the writer I would start Kevin to move up on Mel and then Jazz fights back. Drama galore! Haha

 

Anyhoo! That was a short review with not much body to it, but I read the book in a day and don't feel much emotion towards it... It was good, but not fantastic material.
