Susanna Forrest grew up in the 1980s near Norwich, and like many a girl, she yearned for a pony. She was never to get one, but this didn't stop her becoming obsessed with all things equine. If Wishes Were Horses is the story of that all-consuming interest, and of the author's nerve-wracked attempts later in life to ride once again. However, as Susanna Forrest's journey unfolds, it leads her to horse-obsessed princesses, recovering crack addicts, courtesans, warriors, pink-obsessed schoolgirls, national heroines, and runaways across the ages. From girl-riders of the Bronze Age, to lavishly adorned equestrian Victorians and 21st-century children on horseback in Brixton, she explores the development of this Pony Cult from its earliest times to the present day. In doing so, she takes to the saddle once more and rediscovers her own riding legs in this frank, eclectic, and captivating memoir of an ever-changing equine world.

When Loretta Gage entered her first year of training at Colorado State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, all the odds were against her. In addition to the tremendous pressures that her fellow classmates faced - brutally long hours, a rigorous load of lecture and laboratory classes, and the knowledge that many of them would not graduate - Gage brought with her the enormous emotional and financial challenges of a working-class upbringing. If Wishes Were Horses is the triumphant story of her struggle against hard work and self-doubt to become a practicing veterinarian. This memorable and heartwarming book envelops readers from the very first page, transporting them to a world filled with curmudgeonly professors, classroom disasters, and academic break-throughs, as well as many joyful and inspiring episodes involving the wounded and sick animals that come into the students' lives as they learn their trade. In addition to tales from the classroom, emergency room, and hospital barn where the students made daily rounds, Gage shares her battles with the moral and ethical implications of her work. The rich and gripping story of her struggle to fulfill a lifelong dream illuminates the triumph of the human spirit as much as the fascinating, often heartrending world of veterinary medicine.

If curvy girl Cami Withrow had her druthers, quite a few things in the horse ranch town of Windemere would be different, chiefly that chubby would be the new black and she'd have someone she could rely on as she struggles to help run her grandfather's repair shop and keep it out of the hands of ruthless developers. Nowhere on that list does Cami include having to put up with two hot new mechanics cozying up to her grampa and flirting with her. As suspicious as she is of their motives, she is most resentful of their effect on her usually well-controlled libido. It's nothing like Cami to fantasize about men like them so much or to lose herself every night in vivid, sensual dreams of stampeding stallions and sex under the full moon. Brothers Dale and Markum Ethridge have come into Windemere looking for more than work and packing more than a few family secrets. They know more about the county administrator trying to shut down the Withrow business than they'd want to admit to Cami, who already distrusts them just on principle. It's in her nature not only as a woman who has been let down by too many people in her life but as a unrealized mare shifter, a werehorse, ever at odds with man's compulsion to tame her wild horse spirit. As stallion shifters themselves, they know this all too well. With the once decimated Windemere herd of shifters poised for rebirth, the Ethridge brothers just want to make a place for themselves among their kind and ease Cami Withrow through her own transformation-and into their bed as their mate. But with Cami resisting them every step of the way, the brothers bucking one another over old hurts opened up by their return to Windemere, and political schemes to rob their mate and her family of their home and legacy, making that new life is not going to be as easy as the Ethridge boys would wish. If Wishes Were Horses is the second in a five-title series of standalone BBW paranormal shape shifter ménage romances from bestselling erotic romance and erotica author Erika Masten. Her Aesir Shifter BBW Romance Series is where you'll find the fiercely hot Odin Wolves inspired by Norse mythology.
