THIS BOOK'S A WINNER!
You can't beat a good read, and Giving Chase by Hannah Hooton is just that, writes Liz Benwell.
Based behind the scenes of National Hunt racing, with a romantic storyline, it's a pleasure to turn the pages of this relaxing yet intriguing novel.
What sets it apart is the author's obvious intimate knowledge of racing and horses. If you've ever ridden a horse, but never a racehorse in a race, Giving Chase lets you experience the feeling.
The horses' characters, foibles and frailties are beautifully crafted too. There are even one or two equestrian tips to pick up.
Above all, thanks to Hannah Hooton's fun, fluent and occasionally flippant turn of phrase - she sometimes appears to poke gentle fun at the romantic genre - make this a most entertaining volume.
If there's nothing on TV, this is the solution!
Giving Chase won the Best International Romance in the 2012 Some King of Wonderful Awards. Hannah Hooton is a self-published author whose other novel is Keeping the Peace.
Giving Chase is in paperback [345 pages] and retails at around £9.99 [Kindle price £2.99]. Trade enquiries are welcome. - Liz Benwell, ETN
