Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Riders (Rutshire Chronicles #1)
Set against the glorious Cotswold countryside and the playgrounds of the world, Jilly Cooper's Rutshire Chronicles, Riders, Rivals, Polo, The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous, Appassionata and Score!, offer an intoxicating blend of skulduggery, swooning romance, sexual adventure and hilarious high jinks.Riders, the first and steamiest in the series, takes the lid off international showjumping, a sport where the brave horses are almost human, but the humans behave like animals.
The brooding hero, gypsy Jake Lovell, under whose magic hands the most difficult horse or woman becomes biddable, is driven to the top by his loathing of the beautiful bounder and darling of the show ring, Rupert Campbell-Black. Having filched each other's horses, and fought and fornicated their way around the capitals of Europe, the feud between the two men finally erupts with devastating consequences during the Los Angeles Olympics.

No words. So trashy, so 80's, soooo gooood...There isn't enough romance with rider MCs, please someone write it.I'm getting too old to bother with boring books...and this IS a boring book. I didn't make it even a quarter way through before I decided I'd rather stare at the door knob than finish this.
A rip-roaring roller-coaster of riding and rogering.
Is that not the raunchiest cover art you've ever seen? I had to do an inter-library request to get this book (for some reason, my well-stocked urban library system doesn't have a copy of Cooper's classic literary masterpiece), and when I asked the peppy blonde girl behind the counter to retrieve it for me, she came back waving it proudly, asking, Is this it?!How I responded: Uh, yep. That's the one. Suuuuuuper scandalous. How I wanted to respond: DUDE! Could you maybe NOT call the entire
I can't do it anymore.This is the worst book that has ever been written.EVER.
Well, well, well, what a lovely surprise.I picked up this book on the recommendation of last month's Goodreads newsletter, which said Riders was a solid summer read. British. Bawdy. Lots of cavorting around the English countryside. What's not to like? Then I went to my local Barnes & Noble, found the only copy in stock and was instantly dismayed by the book's heft (more than 900 pages!) and its ridiculous cover art depicting a huge close up of tight, white riding pants stretched taut over a
I can't believe I'm owning up to having read this. Look at that cover. It was a recommended book from Goodreads, unavailable from my library. I was slightly relieved because I wouldn't embarrass myself checking it out with that cover... But, that being said, I enjoyed the soap opera-like drama. More like 3.5 stars. Entertaining & brainless read.
