My Review:
Alisa’s love for horses and barrel racing brings her up close and personal to the one man who broke her heart. Past and present collide for Alisa and Lance. Can they forge a new future, or will it tear them apart?
Love Horsing Around is a contemporary western romance featuring cowboys, horses, barrel racing, and second chances. The descriptive narration lets the reader into the world of barrel racing. The real-life scenarios Alisa and Lance find themselves in will connect with readers. The romance is realistic with sparring dialogue to keep the reader turning the pages. I thoroughly enjoyed Love Horsing Around.
Let’s talk about these characters. Alisa has the weight of the world on her shoulders. She’s trying to keep her ranch afloat using any means necessary. She’s got to deal with an alcoholic father. She’s returning to her first love: barrel racing. Just when she thinks everything is under control, she’s staring into the concerned eyes of her ex-fiancé, Lance. Talk about a shock. I connected with Alisa right away. I like her personality and strength. No matter how many punches life throws at her, she’s back on her feet.
This is second chance romance but with a fun western twist. The reunion of Alisa and Lance is unexpected, as are the sparks. But like with any great love story, obstacles get in the way.
Sonja Gunter has written a realistic romance with imperfect characters. I enjoyed every minute of this story. Well-written from start to finish, Love Horsing Around is a romance for all.

Author Biography:
I was born and raised in the cold and beautiful Minnesota, but I escaped to Illinois for seventeen years to raise my two boys, and now I call Florida home. My husband Andy, who’s always been my hero, has put up with my late night computer typing and endless stacks of papers with my stories on them. We have one furry friend as family: Chip, a sixteen year old ragdoll cat.
Life has been full of ups and downs, but I’ve made it through the hard times. I love to travel and go to Disney World to trade pins. I’ve been a bowler for many years, and you can catch me writing my next novel at the lanes.
