Someone is stalking Holly at Timber Ridge. Could it be a girl from her troubled past or a jealous rider? Kate is super-protective of her brand-new sister, and her worries ramp into overdrive when their royal friend from England shows up.

Is Princess Twiggy the mysterious “Misty” behind the Facebook taunts and evil messages that Holly is getting? Or is it Angela Dean who’s been jealous of Holly and Kate from the very beginning? The situation gets even more complicated when Twiggy’s new bodyguard stirs things up with a mystery of her own.

And what about Luke Callahan?

He’s show-jumping’s latest teen heartthrob and Holly decides he’d make a perfect boyfriend for Kate. Except there’s only one problem.

Angela wants him.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Maggie Dana's first riding lesson, at the age of five, was less than wonderful. In fact, she hated it so much, she didn't try again for another three years. But all it took was the right instructor and the right horse and she was hooked for life.

Her new riding stable was slap bang in the middle of Pinewood Studios, home of England's movie industry. So while learning to groom horses, clean tack, and muck stalls, Maggie also got to see the stars in action. Some even spoke to her.

Born and raised near London, Maggie now makes her home on the Connecticut shoreline where she divides her time between hanging out with the family's horses and writing her next book in the Timber Ridge Riders series.

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2016
More stories of horsey girls having fun and adventures. Kate and Holly have become sisters due to their parents getting married to each other, and share a love of horses. I've read a couple of the earlier books and liked them. By now the girls have met many people and had plenty of adventures; they have even travelled to England where they met a girl their own age who is a Princess of a small, now-vanished European country. For this tale they are back at Timber Ridge Farm in America.

The Princess, whose nickname is Twiggy, comes to spend the summer and her father insists she bring a bodyguard, who is female and has some unexpected attributes. Like being a great rider. They can all school in the arena. But Kate feels left out in other ways because she has always been a simple girl at heart while Holly is much more interested in glitz and glamour which Twiggy carries effortlessly. Of course, some of the locals fawn on the titled young lady - such a nuisance!

I didn't enjoy this one so much as Riding For The Stars. This is a long way further down the series and by now it feels like a soap opera with constant references to previous events like an attempt to create a theme park, the trip to England, a horse rescued and a horse sold, how people met, a museum financed and a film made with the girls as stunt riders. A good quarter of the book is taken up in this fashion before the current adventure gets under way.

When the tale concentrates on the immediate characters and events it is good, with lots of nice horsey atmosphere and training, a frisson of danger, mild friction between the girls to stop it getting too sweet, and inclusive characterisation. Fans of the series will no doubt want to pick it up and see what the girls get up to with the princess on their home turf.

One point I liked is that the wealthy Angela has given her reason for not loving any horse - her mother is all too likely to sell her horse and buy her one perceived as better. She has just learned not to get attached. This makes a lot of sense and helps us see this sometimes uncaring girl in a more reasonable light.

I'm a bit concerned that when one girl finds she is getting creepy e-mails her first decision is not to tell her mother. While she does decide to tell someone, a parent is a good place to start. The author needs to remember that girl readers finding themselves in a similar circumstance may lack guidance.
A copy of this book was sent to me for an unbiased review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something Royal... something delightful
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2015
Eleven books ago, when Kate came to Timber Ridge Stables and became Holly's companion, we could all see this was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. And it has been! Through horse shows and horse camps, blizzards and summer storms, film shoots and crime scenes, Kate and Holly have been through it all together. They're true BFFs. So nothing could ever come between these two best friends, right? Especially two best friends who are now sisters!

Sure, there are small things. Kate does not understand what Holly sees in make-up. Or clothes that can't be worn for barn chores. Or flaking out over boys. (Okay, Kate has some very slight interest in boys... or one in particular). Holly is at a loss for why Kate isn't more interested in dolling herself up, but honestly? Holly isn't much of a worrier. Worrying is Kate's hobby, and she's fantastic at it. (I strongly identify with Kate in this, as in many other things.)

But these girls are tight, and these problems are tiny. What could come between them?

Well, something royal this way comes.

Mutual friend Twiggy (Flying Changes, book 10), is coming to visit Timber Ridge Stables. Twiggy is a European princess who trails drama in her wake. Holly adores her. Kate, less a fan, just adds the upcoming Twiggy drama to her list of worries. Doesn't she have enough problems, without coaching Holly through a royal visit (or coping with Holly's hair, makeup, and wardrobe obsessions)?

Kate, as she sees it, has some very real problems. Including, distressingly enough, wondering whether her beloved Tapestry is enough horse for her hopes and dreams. I'm with Kate -- princesses are all good and well, boys are very nice for someone, and clothes are for rubbing off horse slobber on -- the real problem in this world is making sure the horse you love and the horse you need are one and the same. Sometimes, it can be impossible to know for sure.

Something Royal is a delightful read, full of twists and subplots (I didn't even mention there might be a stalker!) with lovely horses and the passionate barn-rat kids who love them. Watching Kate and Holly test the bounds of their friendship, while they each grapple with very different dilemmas, makes this series continue to surprise and delight with every new installment.

P.S., love the title!

Another hit by one of my most favourite authors.

Every single book in the Timber Ridge Riders series becomes my new favourite when I read it. Maggy Dana just can't miss. There's nothing worse than a series where characters don't develop, or the storylines become repetitive and boring. Every single book in this series is outstanding, and can be read alone, but are much more fun to read in sequence. When read in order, you really notice how the girls develop their character and become more mature. Each adventure is unique and each book is fresh, exciting and spellbinding.

This series isn't just for teenage horse lovers, it's for anyone who ever was a teenage horse lover, or wished they had been.

This review is by my daughter, who it was purchased for: As usual, an amazing book! I'm 14 and love these books as it gives me an idea of American life as I live in the Uk! I would definitely recommend to teens/young adults who enjoy a good book with the added bonus of horses and they also include situations that one may also encounter in their life! Every book Maggie writes deserves a 5 star rating!!
