Five horse girl books for adults

Katy James writes contemporary romance books that get to the heart of falling in love while finding one’s place in today’s world. When not writing, she works as an archivist and rare book librarian. Her free time is spent being a single mom, wrangling an ever-fluctuating number of pets, fixing up her old house, reading, knitting, cooking, gardening and generally making all kinds of stuff.

James's new novel is The Grump Whisperer.

At The Nerd Daily she tagged five favorite books that feature "an immersive equestrian experience" the way horse girl children’s books do, but "include adult characters, themes, romance, and perspectives." One title on her list:
Ambition by Natalie Keller Reinert

Reinert’s Eventing Series was originally published from 2014 forward, but starting in December of this year the entire series is being reedited and released with new covers. The books follow eventer Jules and her rider boyfriend Pete as they try to survive and thrive in the tough world of competing and making a living with horses. If you want extremely accurate, immersive, and delightful horse world content in a whole series, this is for you!
