Tamera Alexander’s To Win Her Favor Blog Tour and Kindle Giveaway

To Win Her Favor (Zondervan, May 2015)



A gifted rider in a world where ladies never race, Maggie Linden is determined that her horse will become a champion. But the one man who could help her has vowed to stay away from thoroughbred racing forever.
An Irishman far from home, Cullen McGrath left a once prosperous life in England because of a horse racing scandal that nearly ruined him. He’s come to Nashville for a fresh start, hoping to buy land and begin farming, all while determined to stay as far away from thoroughbred racing as possible. But starting over proves harder than he’d wagered, especially when Maggie Linden’s father makes him an offer he shouldn’t accept yet cannot possibly refuse.
Maggie is certain that her mare, Bourbon Belle, can take the top purse in the inaugural Peyton Stakes, the richest race ever run in America. Maggie only needs the chance to prove it. To give her that chance—and to save Linden Downs from being sold to the highest bidder—Maggie’s father, aging, yet wily as ever, makes a barter. His agreement includes one tiny, troublesome detail—Maggie must marry a man she’s never met. A man she never would have chosen for herself.


MY REVIEW-Tamera Alexander is one of my absolute favorite authors. I can pick up one of her novels and read through it in a day, totally engrossed in the story. Her characters come alive and the history seems like present day. This story here is the second in a series and I think they are best read in order, just so some things make sense. But hey, if you are one of those people who can keep characters straight in your head, feel free to give it a try!

I had a bit of a bother when I first met our heroine. Maggie is head strong and quite obstinate and I guess it took me a little while to feel at ease with her. Now don't get me started on Cullen:) Wow! I loved him from the get-go! Gallant, protective, and always ready to step in and lend a hand, I fell for him and hard. My only worry for him was his lack of belief. But if you know Tamera Alexander, you know how she brings her characters around. And it does happen for both Maggie and Cullen.

For me I didn't realize that horse racing was such a big thing during this time period. I knew people raced their horses, but to see the extent of the sport and how highly it was thought of was different for me. I did love how Mrs. Alexander fleshes out her races:) Maggie flying in the wind on Bourbon Belle, I can almost feel the breeze!An excellent book that many will enjoy, you don't want to miss the latest from Tamera Alexander!
