Full disclosure, I am firmly imbedded in the googleverse. I completely enjoyed this read,  both from a "I remember that" and things I was not aware of.

Many potential insights into the "why" as well as the "what".  Recommended.

Totally enjoyed this read. Was given to me for honest review. I haven't read the first 3 books in the series, but I'm on my way to do so now!!

I got the book from NetGalley in Kindle format as an ARC. I've been asked for an honest and unbiased review in exchange for the opportunity to read this copy. I really enjoyed the read. I'm a horse lover, they're a HUGE part of my life, so I was completely absorbed in the tale. It was no fairy tale, some rough and tumble subjects to wade through. Empty marriage, blended families,manipulators, enablers, you name it. I've posted a review to my blog if you'd like to my review.

I thoroughly enjoyed this read. After cluttering my mind with chic lit, This is just the book I needed,  I was on my toes, well so to speak, until the very last page. Very well written along with just enough romance to keep th chick lit crowd happy.
I will read more books written by this author!

I thoroughly enjoyed this read! I was engaged from start to finish and didn't even wait a day after finishing before recommending to some friends! I know I will definitely be purchasing multiple copies to give as gifts through the years. I heartily recommend to everyone - both young & old - I feel that everyone could find something different in it and finish the book with a sense of having experienced so much right alongside the author.

The cover and blurb drew me in, but the story itself kept my attention.
This was such a fun lighthearted read, I really enjoyed the banter between the two main characters. I don't want to say anything about the story itself, I feel like everyone should have the chance to enjoy the book without someone else's opinions muddying it up.

After reading book 1 in this series I immediately purchased the others and devoured them whole.  Can't wait for there to be more in this series.  I thoroughly enjoyed the read and have become quite attached to the characters in this series.

I truly enjoyed this read. I'm very excited for any follow ups to this series. The characters were great and had enough backstory that you felt like you knew them. I loved the way the author made you SURE that you knew what was about to happen and then totally twisted it around. It made the book very interesting to read. The book also left off in a way that I can't wait to follow up with the characters again in the next release!

Let me just say first that I absolutely loved that there were no editing horrors to distract me as I read. And even if there had been, the author did a magnificent job at completely drawing me in with her characters that it would have garnered no complaints from me. Taking the Reins was a delightful distraction that made me forget that I was doing some early morning reading due to an upset stomach. TTR has healed me with laughter. I doubt I'll be waiting long to read more from this author.

I loved every bit of this! The diary-style writing made for quick and enjoyable reading. I am usually not one for comedies, but this book truly had some laugh out loud moments. Its not a sophisticated high brow read, but is highly recommended if you're looking for a light read. Cannot wait to indulge in the rest of the series.

I really enjoyed this read.  The town of Wishful has a wonderful vibe to it that I love about small town reads, a community that pulls together when they need to and a way of life that some days feels so far away, but what was also amazing was the moments of realism added, people struggling to support their families, big business coming to town threatening the smaller stores, etc.  This story is about Riley, who owns the local pharmacy, and she is struggling to keep her head above water keeping the business going while still having to take care of her mother, and after a childhood of having to be the adult in their relationship she has grown into someone who no longer wants to be the town charity case and so hates to accept help from anyone.  Then in walks Liam, a marine home from the war to take care of his mother and struggling to find his way of what to do now, particularly in a small town.  Liam and Riley are long-time friends, and Liam has always been the protector but with him being away with the military so long Riley had to learn to lean on herself and she is not comfortable giving that up but Liam is not a man to stand on the side-lines when something needs to be done.  The push and pull of this relationship felt very real and the potential was there for Riley to come off as a bit of a bitch that kept pushing a really great guy away, but the author did a good job of making her struggle to find the balance between retaining her independence and allowing a relationship develop to a true partnership seem like a journey to Riley figuring herself out.  There were challenges and fights sure but nothing that wasn't resolved with a little cool off time and thinking like adults.
Although this is the third book in the series it was the first one I read and I didn't feel like I was missing anything not having read the other books, so these can definitely be read as a standalone but I was so impressed I will be making more stops into Wishful to catch up on this town and their characters.

This was an incredibly fun read.  I read the whole second half in one sitting because I could not put it down until I got to the end.  Karen Hooper writes deep, interesting characters and well thought out, complex worlds.  I love the way she handles superpowers and I thought the reincarnation aspects of this book are really believable.  I can't wait to read the next one in this series.
