But when she saw how he was being treated, what's a vet to do?
She had no idea that gorgeous beast was really a powerful (and morally gray) magician who had been cursed by a witch, or that she was the only one who could reverse the curse.
And she couldn't possibly have known how that one rash decision would irrevocably change her life. . . and his.
Need a little more information to make up your mind? Read a trade review and a longer description below:
Publisher’s Weekly said, “My Queendom for a Horse is an intriguing paranormal romance with a fresh and fun setup. [R]eaders will enjoy both the magical and romantic elements. The story of a shapeshifting horse is undoubtedly unique. The author puts a dynamic spin on fairytale tropes, while her knowledge and love of horses is evident throughout. A strong, confident female character takes center stage in this novel with her ability to talk to a cursed horse.”
And here's the longer book description:
Kristiana’s father has a gambling problem. After a particularly bad hand of cards puts their family’s land in jeopardy, her dad’s solution is to call her billionaire ex. But Kris can't bring herself to beg him for money. At least, not her first time seeing him in ten years. Instead, she withdraws her life savings and bets on herself.
Thankfully, it pays off! She and her most promising horse win big at the Down Royal steeplechase in Ireland, but only because the best horse on the track wasn’t ridden properly. Luckily, it’s just enough to grant a stay of execution with the bank. Or it would be. . .
But when Kris realizes her nemesis is abusing the gorgeous black stallion who should have won, she can’t help herself. She spends her winnings buying the horse she fell for the moment she saw him. It may not be the smartest move in the short run, but Obsidian Devil's her best hope of finally digging out from under the massive debt hanging over them. She’ll have to ask her ex to help with the next payment, but seeing him again won't be so bad.
What Kris doesn’t know is that her new purchase is actually a powerful magician, stuck in horse form by a witch’s curse. She also has no idea that she’ll be the only person who can help him lift the curse. . . And worst of all, that helping him may mean losing the family farm for good.

It was time for bed. I had just finished my previous book. I was just opening this one to get it ready for the next day. Then I was just going to read a paragraph…a page…the first chapter. All of the sudden I was a quarter of the way through the book!This was a great, clean romantasy. We have our heroine who is on the verge of losing everything and then she spends her money on a horse. Set in Latvia, this was a single POV romantasy. It is sweet and clean but on the heated and edgy side. There is mention of some parts because when Aleks shifts out of horse form, he doesn’t have clothes. He is the quintessential alpha hero. Russian and possessive and protective. This book had a love triangle (which I abhor) but I loved it anyway. Some day I might meet a Baker book that doesn’t captivate me, but it has yet to happen. I sailed through this book and am starting the next one immediately.

I didn't expect to be so intrigued by the horse racing scenes but I loved it! Very vivid writing. Also, squeaky clean. Although that's new for me, it was sweet
Like the concept and how the characters come to life on the page. Looking forward to reading the rest of this series.
I liked reading a book that wasn't based in the states. this was a fresh read because even though it isn't "world building" there was this emersion in a different country (for me). The other thing that was great about this group is that you don't have to be a house lover to enjoy this book as it explains everything well without being too much exposition from horse types to how races work. Kris and Aleks have a cute romance that is everything your inner horse girly would love.I think fans of Kristen Ashley would love this book as well with the same premise of a fantasy man meeting a normal woman and upturning her world.
I jumped on this book because I love horses. I knew it was a shifter book, so I thought I’d give it a go. It’s a wild ride. The book moves fast and it’s an easy read and the world building is good too. If you enjoy horses and falling in love, it’s a good book to pick up.
