Attain Lucys Chance (Red Rock Ranch, #1) Executed By Brittney Joy Formatted As Audio Books

is away from home for the first time, working a dream job at the Red Rock Ranch, There she becomes enraptured by an abandoned horse she rescues with the help of handsome blueeyed cowboy, Casey, With his gentle ways he helps her tame the black horse, drawing the ire of the talented and rich Taylor who has her eyes set on the cowboy.
Casey and Lucy will do anything to help the black horse, even teaming up with Taylor to do it,

This is a fun read with an enjoyable cast, I loved the introduction because it's quick and witty and really gives you a sense of the author's personality, The descriptions of the ranch and surrounding areas are phenomenal, The romance of the story is more surrounding Lucy and Chance rather than her and Casey, I found Lucy so relatable because of how she handles her attraction to Casey because she sees how Taylor feels about him.
I also really loved the veiled references to popular horse book series throughout this and the following books,
yearold Lucy is working as a stable hand at Red Rock Ranch for the summer, which was definitely her dream job until she's facing down a loose baby steer.
Baby cows are not as lovable and cuddly as they initially appear, and Lucy is left to ponder this after the steer knocks her on her butt and pretty cowboy Casey witnesses the whole thing.
Welcome to Lucy's summer.

Never has a book successfully yanked me back to the days of Thoroughbred than Brittney Joy's Lucy's Chance, Lucy is a protagonist you want to root for as she starts settling into ranch life, learning what's expected of her and how to tentatively make new friends when you don't know anyone.
Lucy's not exactly an extrovert, so when Casey catches a halfwild black horse during a trail ride, a perfect opportunity presents itself for Lucy.
Get on the black horse's good side, start training it to be a ranch horse, and maybe she'll feel like she has a place here at Red Rock.
Mix in some budding romance with Casey, an antagonist who can be redeemed, and Red Rock Ranch gets off to a strong start.
I can't wait to see how the rest of the summer shakes out, so Brittney Joy better get busy writing,

This is a book I would happily recommend for the younger teen range, and will definitely call to fans of Heartland and the Phantom Stallion.
Loved this book! Read it all in one sitting as I couldn't put it down, From the first few pages I was sixteen again, reliving those wonderful days when my whole world revolved around horses, Great pace, great characters, and plenty of fun plot twists to keep the story moving, Can't wait for the next book in the series! This YA novel is perfect for the young at heart horse lover.
Lucy isand working on a guest ranch as a stablehand, She is the type of girl more interested in spending time in the barn with horses than worrying about clothes or makeup.
This summer job is a dream come true, The first day is a little shaky with an unexpected runin with a steer, But things go smoothly until a seemingly wild black horse appears while on a trail ride, The horse is taken back to the ranch where he captures Lucys heart, She works to calm and eventually bond with him, It is a beautiful moment when the horse accepts her, This book is well written, enjoyable, and a quick read, It explores all the emotions and insecurities of a young girl on her own for the first time, There is even a young attractive cowboy that Lucy has a crush on and a rich talented cowgirl with her eye on the same cowboy.
Everything wanted in a story is here especially action and most importantly, horses,
A real feel good story of a girl and a wild mustang called Chance, that reminded me of the Black Stallion and Alec except in a cowboy environment.
The imagery of the Oregon countryside was beautifully depicted and I now want to go have my own cowgirl adventure!

Written for a young teen to YA audience, the book has a sweet love story as a subplot and the final chapters had me gripping my Kindle in suspense.
As far as characters go, Chance's personality really stood out and there was a nice parallel between him and Lucy both feeling out of place in the world, a theme which had me thinking of the Finmory series of Jinny and her wild Arab mare Shantih.
And I thought Chance was really well named,

If I had to pick bones with the story it would be that I'd have liked to see more depth to the human characters, especially the villains although having said that, I know from personal experience with ponies that there are people just like Taylor, mean and spoilt! and there was sometimes confusion with past and present tense.
But it didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the book and I'd recommend it to any horseloving girl, Fun read with a likeable protagonist and supporting cast, I appreciated that the antagonist was not all bad as characters in novels so often can be, A good pageturner and enjoyable read that I have added to my list of recommended horsy books, I enjoyed this book very much, As someone who used to work at a horse ranch, this book took me back to those summer days spent with the horses.
For those who don't know much about horses, this book is a good read to get a peek into life on a ranch.
I have a young daughter that already has an interest in horses, so I think I'll keep this one for her to read when she's older.
Can't wait to read the next book in the series to see what else happens during Lucy's summer at Red Rock! Lucy's Chance Red Rock Ranch, Bookis a charming book that was a delight to read from cover to cover.
Centered around horses and Lucy, the girl who loves them, the author thoroughly explores the bond, relationship and trust between horse and rider.
Lucy's frustrations and joys are relatable and her crush on Casey is tender yet not smutty, Lucy's journey reminds me a bit of Wild Horse, Wild Ride a documentary about training mustangs and while reading the book, made me want to jump on my own horse and ride into the sunset.

Highly recommend this book to horse enthusiasts of all ages and riding disciplines, Looking forward to Lucy's next adventure!

Author of HEADED FOR THE WIN
sitelinkHeaded for the Win This is a perfect YA equestrian series which I really enjoyed.
Well written, with a good pace and likeable main characters, This is the exact kind of book I loved to read when I was a teenager, The setting was beautiful and vividly described, The author built the connection with Lucy and the horse she saves Chance, in a lovely way, making a lively story and a page turner! Generally these books have a mean girl which in this case was Taylor.
There were a few surprises in the book with Taylor which kept it interesting and I am interested to see where that dynamic goes in the future.
The book is feel good and sweet, and I definitely recommend for teenagers

I received this book via Goodread First Reads, This in no way affects my opinion,

This book was a fun 'summer' kind of read, It's happy, a bit predictable, with cute romance and horses,

I liked Lucy a lot, She was a relatable character even thought I couldn't relate to some of her life experiences, her emotions were spot on.
For example, her boy troubles with Chase, I'm sure a lot of girls will be able to relate to that,

Chance was a very interesting horse, I liked him, but at the same time, his storyline was a bit stereotypical, I knew what the outcome of the book would be before it came, It wasn't anything too new, though it was still enjoyable,

Taylor and Chase were okay secondary characters, I did like reading about them, but I felt that they were a bit stereotypical, Taylor was the mean girl we see so much of in YA stories I thought that later, she got more of a personality beyond that, but it did start off that way.
Chase was less of a cliche, but at times I felt he was a bit of the hot country boy character.
The author fleshed them out enough that it wasn't a big annoyance as it normally would have been for me, though.


In spite of the predictablity, I still was turning page after page, and I think that says something, Even though I knew everything would turn out all right, I was still a little bit worried, The author managed to make everything very fun and exciting, despite the fact that the plot was a bit recycled,

I would recommend this Red Rock Ranch: Lucy's Choice is a very fun story, and even though I had some problems with it, I still liked it a lot.
Tween girls would probably like this book the most,
