Good Things Come by Linda Shantz Book Summary

If Liv wasn't such a control freak, it wouldn't have rubbed her the wrong way when the farm's new exercise rider stepped in to resuscitate newborn Chique, the first foal out of her father's favourite mare. Nate's equal parts good-looking and good with horses, and the kind of distraction she can't afford as a woman trying to make it in a man's world.

When she drops out of vet school to get her jockey's license in New York, intent on coming back to Ontario to ride Chique in the Queen's Plate–Canada's most prestigious race–Nate's skill and dedication make him the obvious choice to keep an eye on the filly.

He's not supposed to become key to her plan.

Tragedy brings her home prematurely, disrupting her career, and her life. Now if Chique's going to become the racehorse she's meant to be – and Liv's going to find significance again – she'll have to let go of her stubborn ideals and let Nate in, to her dream…and her heart.

Praise for Good Things Come:

"Mixing together hope, heartbreak and romance, a dash of rivalry, and a great deal of excitement, Good Things Come delivers all the goods in terms of top-notch racing fiction. Set in the world of Canadian racing, the story is that of an intense young woman, a troubled young man, and the quirky but talented filly they both love. This is the first book written by an accomplished equine artist and former backside worker who knows her subject well and tells it with a master's hand." - Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award for excellence in Thoroughbred racing literature, finalist 2020.

"Good Things Come...delivers sure-footed racing realities, a deliciously slow-burn relationship, and a jock for the ages-all in vivid, evocative prose that belies the book's debut status." - Diana Hurlburt, Readers Up

"Writing with a horsewoman's authority and a crisp, clean style, Linda Shantz's new horse racing novel is a must-read for any fans of equestrian fiction. Her settings and details are perfect, from Woodbine to Saratoga, Palm Meadows to Gulfstream Park. And I'm absolutely obsessed with her characters, both horse and human." – Natalie Keller Reinert, author of the Eventing Series.
