Book Review

The Highest Stakes by Emery Lee

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


When I first picked up “The Highest Stakes” it was with great trepidation that I began reading. Considering I read and write Young Adult fiction, the sheer weight of the book sent me running in the other direction. Oh, and not to mention the fact that I know NOTHING about horses, old England, or racing. However, I’d seen such high praise about the book I decided to give it a try.

With limited time I planned to read fifty pages a day. By day two I’d completed the book. There’s nothing like starting a book with meager expectations and being blown away by the end.

The pace forced me to turn the pages, the characters wouldn’t let me put the book down, and the storyline tugged at my heart. Twists, turns, forbidden love, and danger filled all 500 and something pages. “The Highest Stakes” is a must read and not just for lovers of historical romance or horse enthusiasts. It’s a book for everyone who enjoys a fantastic read.
