I knew it!

At the time I read this book, I thought that this would be a romance, but it was nothing like that, just dramatic. This book is about Amy, still trying to get over her mothers death, has had one person to always lean on, Ty, the stable boy, but everything just gets thrown! A new stable boy (Ben) comes to Heartland to help Ty out but that doesn't happen. Between Ben beating his horse and Ty anger against Ben nature, Amy is forced to be an enemy to Ty because of the secret that Ty shouldn't know about Ben's life. Amy knows that her relationship with Ty is burning and she never realized before how much she took him for granted. Read and find out what Amy should do!

By far, One of the Best!

When Amy finds out that the new stable hand named Ben would be comming, she was very exited. But, she loses her exitement when she finds out that Ben won't do any work. Then Ty is offered a job at Green Briar, the owner is one of Amy's class mates mom's who trains her horses and ponies to be 'push button'. Ty, who is now upset over the work that Ben is doing almost decides to even leave Heartland. Will Ty leave and be a stable hand at the famous Green Briar? To find out, read this fantastic novel, Taking Chances by Lauren Brooke. I'd highly reccomend it to anyone, even those who aren't really into horses. 5 stars.

Lauren Brooke is AWESOME!!

This is another one of Lauren's amazing books. Even though all her books in this series is about Heartland, she manages to have such a different plot in each one. This is a continuation of the three books before it, and is mostly about Amy and Ty. This is a perfect book for horse lovers, as well as people who don't like horses. It might help if u read the three before it first, it is kinda hard 2 catch on if u don't really know what's going on. I've read four books in it's series and I recomend it to kids that are 11 and up. I'm thirteen and this is one of my favorite series.

Awesome book!

I thought this book was very sad but good. I was shaking and crying at the end.(you readers will soon know why)It was sad in the way of happiness. Terrific book for everyone.

Another wonderful Heartland book!

Taking Chances is really good, with a beautiful grey Thoroughbred gelding as one of the characters. Amy finds that things go terribly wrong when she is asked to keep a secret about Heartland's new stable hand from everyone - even Ty! This is a REALLY good book!
