They’re from two different worlds.

He lives in the estate house, and she spends most of her time in the stables helping her father train horses. In fact, Savannah has always been much more comfortable around horses than boys. Especially boys like Jack Goodwin—cocky, popular and completely out of her league. She knows the rules: no mixing between the staff and the Goodwin family. But Jack has no such boundaries.

With her dream of becoming a horse jockey, Savannah isn’t exactly one to follow the rules either. She’s not going to let someone tell her a girl isn’t tough enough to race. Sure, it’s dangerous. Then again, so is dating Jack…

Alright, so I have to be honest. This is my second book I read of Miranda’s. I actually read Breathe, Annie, Breathe first. I was not aware BAB was part of a series. Boy oh boy, I was hooked. I had to get my hands on another book of hers. Since I started with the latest book of her series, I decided to read the previous one. And I am glad I did!

I have come to term that Miranda’s books are a must read. I love Racing Savannah, the fourth novel of her Hundred Oak series. These can be read as stand-alone and thank God for that! Because right after I finished Breathe, Annie, Breathe, I had to read more. Racing Savannah was as sweet as BAB.

This book is about a girl name Savannah. She and her family recently moved to a new town. Her father is the new head groomer of the farm. And Savannah has a gift with horse. When she meets a wild horse as he is running away, she also meets the owner – the handsome son of her father’s new boss. From the moment they meet, they click. But Savannah is hesitance because he is a rich boy. Completely different. As the story proceeds, we learn that Jack wants nothing to make his father proud and dating an employee is out of the questions. Savannah’s father doesn’t want her close to Jack either. With no money and a new born on the way, this becomes a struggle for her. How can these two love birds proof their love to their parents?

One of the things I discover by reading this book is that one can easily relate to Miranda’s characters. Savannah is the poor girl that wants nothing but to help out her family. She puts them first. But she comes to terms that sometimes putting yourself first is okay. I loved her character so much. Let’s not even begin with Jack. He is respectful, responsible and irresistible. *swoon*

I highly recommend that you read this and Miranda’s other books. I know I will!
