Jed Harris is not only the star polo player, but he’s Troyden’s stepson. He’s also the only man she’s ever fainted at the sight of – or that could just be her allergy to horses.

Can Eden reveal her true identity and rein in the elusive Jed? In the game of love, sometimes the hardest match is the one for the heart…

My Rating:  4.5 stars

Riding High was exactly what I expected from Joss Wood, whose stories I’ve enjoyed for some time now.  A couple to enjoy, situations both heartbreaking and hilarious, and a story to easily get caught up in.

Eden has come to this English estate (castle) with the intent of checking out her uncle in the hopes that he can tell her more about her father.  She knows he’s rich and powerful, but it’s information that she’s after, not his money.  Well, tell that to her uncle’s former stepson, Jed, who immediately suspects Eden is only after money.  One unknown horse dander allergy will have Eden fainting at Jed’s feet… and begin a story full of laughter, secrets, and an eventual happy ending.

I had such a good time with Eden and Jed, and if you love a well-written romance full of emotions and laughter, and some misunderstandings before that happily ever after ending can come true, then you’d enjoy Riding High by Joss Wood.
