Book Blitz ‘Breaking Fences’ by Juliana Haygert

 

Today I’m participating in a ‘Book Blitz’. In this Blitz
we get to know a little more about the new book by Juliana Haygert. The book is
called ‘Breaking Fences’ and it’s a contemporary romance. For people who
already know ‘Breaking the Reins’, this is the second book in this series but
it can be read out of order. ‘Breaking Fences’ has been published on June 12th
and the book already got a lot of good reviews. On Goodreads the average rating
of ‘Breaking Fences’ is 4.18 and on Amazon 4.5. This book really sounds like a
great one. I already put it on my ‘To-read’ list. Now it’s your time 😉

All Beatriz “Bia”
Fernandes wants is to prove herself—to her family and friends—though it’s hard
to prove anything with an overbearing father and three famous polo-playing
older brothers. After her acceptance into college results in a heated family
argument, the Brazilian girl leaves everything behind to find her own American
dream.

College life away from home is perfect until the people she believes to be her
friends turn on her. With lies and rumors threatening to suffocate her, Bia
turns to her only freedom. Riding.

But one thing gets in the way of her escape. Garrett Blackwell and his bad
cowboy attitude. Working at the ranch is his obligation, bugging Bia is his
newfound hobby. His thick skin and easy grin don’t hide what Bia already
knows—this misunderstood and lonely cowboy fights his own demons. Brushing
horses’ coats and mucking out stalls shouldn’t be this sexy, and it isn’t long
before he becomes a part of her distraction.

However, escaping won’t solve her problems, and it’s up to Bia to break down
the fences around her and prove her strength—not to her family and friends, but
to herself … and for Garrett. Because standing on her own doesn’t have to mean
standing alone.

This
book is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo and Ibooks. For more

“Time’s up,” Garrett
shouted.

I pulled the reins and
slowed Midnight, steering him toward the men.

I leaned over the horse
and patted his neck. “Good boy.” I stopped him in front of Garrett and smiled.
“He’s amazing.”

Garrett nodded, his face
serious, and Tom looked at me with a frown.

I was about to ask them
what happened when Garrett’s cell phone beeped. He glanced at it and sighed.

“Delilah will be here in
ten minutes,” he said, jumping off the fence. “Can you cool him down, please?”

“Yeah,” I said. He stalked
off and I glanced at Tom. “Something wrong?”

“When isn’t something
wrong?” Tom answered before following Garrett inside the stables.

What the hell?

Midnight nickered,
bringing my attention back to him. “All right, big boy.” I slipped off him.
“Let’s get you cooled down for your practice.”

I didn’t take him inside
to a wash stall since he would be out here again in a few minutes. I just tied
his reins to a fence post, took off his saddle, and turned on the hose on the
outside of the stable.

As soon as the cold water
hit his hot coat, he advanced on me, in a happy gait. I laughed and got out of
his way. To let him play, I untied his reins and held them in my left hand,
while I hosed him with the right one.

He nipped at my shirt,
biting the edge, and pulled me closer.

I laughed. “Hey. Are you
trying to get me wet too?”

He nickered and I laughed
louder. He tried nipping at me again and I stepped aside, turning around to
escape him, and saw Garrett leaning in the stable’s doorway, watching us with
his arms crossed.

That caught me by
surprised, and I came to an abrupt halt, facing him. He held my stare, his
expression impassive. I didn’t get him. Half an hour earlier, I could swear he
was flirting with me, and now he was distant and looking at me as if I had
stolen something from him.

Midnight poked his muzzle
on my waist, tickling me, and I laughed again. I pushed Garrett out of my mind
and turned to the horse.

We played with the water
for a while, and he did manage to get my legs soaked. Droga, I didn’t
have any other jeans with me. Next time, I would bring a couple of extra pants,
boots, and tops.

I was about to turn off
the hose when Midnight bit my shirt again and pulled me back, away from the
faucet.

I laughed. “Come on, big
boy. We have to get you ready.”

“What’s going on?”

A chill wave rushed
through me. Midnight let go of me and neighed.

I turned around and found
Delilah tapping her foot on the ground, her hands on her waist, and her blue
eyes about to murder me.

“I asked, what’s going on?
What are you doing with my horse?”

“I was helping Garrett. He
asked me to cool Midnight down before your practice.” I walked to her, pulling
the horse with me. He snorted, not wanting to come, but I jerked the reins with
force. I offered her the reins. “Here. He’s all yours.”

She took the reins, still
looking at me as if she was going to jump at my throat at any moment.

“Excuse me.” She took a
step closer, expecting me to move from her away. Oh, there was plenty of space
by my sides. I jutted my chin out and didn’t move.

With a huff, Delilah
walked around me, keeping her eyes on mine until she couldn’t turn her neck any
farther.

I watched as she marched
to the other side of the arena, fighting with Midnight all the way. He didn’t
want to go with her, but she pulled him hard and hissed at him. That was no way
to treat a horse.

Garrett was going after
her, but before walking on, he paused by my side and offered me a hand towel.
