About this listen
“To finish is to win” is her motto, but this time she has to "finish to live".
Alone in a rest area, Bethany is witness to a murder. The victim tells her to trust no one and begs her to take documents to his son before he dies.
Racing...
Hiding in endurance-ride camps and traveling with other riders to stay hidden from the killers, Bethany moves from New Mexico to Colorado. She changes everything, from her looks to the license plates on her truck.
Meeting Roger, the victim's son, is problematic. Was he involved in the death of his father? Forced to make a quick decision, Bethany trusts him...up to a point.
Romance...
Staying ahead of the killers proves difficult. Who is behind this plot?
Roger soon learns endurance riders have the strength and courage to travel over minimally marked trails day and night. Will the speed and endurance of Bethany's horses save her from the mastermind when she's forced to race to the safety of his arms?
Step into rural America and the sport of endurance. People standing together to protect each other and riders who close ranks against outsiders. This audiobook honestly portrays those who live far from city streets and those who ride rugged trails for the fun and challenge of the event.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,027
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Horrible narration!
I am always looking for books that feature horses and the outdoors. I am an endurance rider, which means I ride my horse in competitions of 25- 50 miles in a certain amount of time, my horse must past veterinary exams to complete.
The story was good and I liked the main character but the narration was very off putting. Thomas Block was a terrible choice. He paused after every word, it drove me crazy!

good book, audio could be better
I thought it was an odd choice for a man to read the story when the main character is a woman. Also, occasionally, music was played over the story in some spots. The first time it happened, it startled me. Then it was just annoying.
I enjoyed the book overall. Maybe a bit more explanation of endurance for non-endurance riders, but the story was good. I will look for other books by this author.

story is good
the narrator,, well, he shouldn't be a narrator. I struggled through the audio because I liked the story. authentic equestrian information throughout. One thing that hit me was when she made sure the horse was untied before opening the trailer. That's always a must. The other positive is when she said making love is different from having sex.
On to the next book.

Good story written by someone who has actually ridden endurance!
I hadn’t ever listened to an endurance story written by an endurance rider. How refreshing to hear an accurate depiction of various parts common to all rides! The story is good and well done. I would have appreciated a different approach to the narration, but that is probably personal to every listener.

Fascinating tale
Horses, competition, dangerous chases, not to mention passionate love scenes - this story has it all. All of it brilliantly narrated by Thomas Block. I couldn’t stop listening till the book was finished and will be impatiently waiting for Kasey Riley’s next story.

GREAT COVER, AND THE CONTENTS ARE JUST AS GOOD
It's hard to find a "horse book" with adult characters, but here it is. How many women have been in the same situation, traveling alone on the interstate? Just for starters, that's a cautionary tale and Bethany's experiences in evading her pursuers, towing a horse trailer, will keep readers turning the pages. Luckily for her, members of the horse community are down-to-earth folks with common sense and they help each other out so she manages to stay a step or two ahead...most of the time. What's in the package foisted on her by a dying man? When she tracks down his son and prepares to hand it over, how does she know whether the handsome, helpful rancher is part of the solution...or part of the problem? By the time she's head over heels in love with him, the answer becomes clear. I like to read about subjects I don't know much about or places I'd like to know more about, and this book had all that. The author brought the world of endurance riding to life and her descriptions of the rural west were enthralling. The narrator's voice is ideally suited to the material and he gave a very skillful reading, so buy this title and enjoy!
