Customer Reviews

great storyline that will keep you reading!

This book details the story of Allyson, a young woman trying to make her way in life and achieve her goal of working with horses full-time despite numerous obstacles and hurdles along the way. A detailed, funny, romantic story that is difficult to put down. (Additionally, I learned more about horses reading this book than I ever knew!)

Teenagers Will Love This

This is a great book. Allyson comes across like a real person, and even though the setting is the 70's, her experiences and the problems she confronts are very contemporary. I think teenagers today will really be able to relate. Also, any teenager who loves horses (or any adult, for that matter) will really enjoy this book. The world of horses is not my world, but the author did an excellent job of pulling me into that world and holding me there spellbound. This was one of those books I just didn't want to put down.

Not Just Another Horse Tale

I was suprised to find that Allyson's Beau wasn't just another story about a horse, and even more suprised to find that this is the author's first book. Even though I don't live in the world of horses, there was much about the well-defined protagonist - Allyson - that I could identify with. This is a story about a young woman's journey through some very difficult times, resulting in her growth and ultimately, triumph. I won't go into what Allyson goes through that challenges her - not what you might expect - and not to give too much away, but the story does not have a predictable outcome. There is also some romance in the book, as well. The author is kind enough to include a glossary of technical terms, for those who are not in the know about horses, etc. All in all, it was an excellent read, and I am looking forward to Ms. Vander Wende-William's next novel.
