Dinny's Challenge: A Christian Romance (A Sinclair Island Christian Horse Romance Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Hilary Walker (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 40 ratings
She believed a lie and left him. Will she now stay and face the truth? Dinny gave Grant back his ring and married the man who was accusing him of fraud. Now widowed, she attends a wedding on Sinclair Island and unexpectedly runs into her ex-fiancé – three decades after he moved away. Dinny’s beloved mare is about to go blind and Grant meets with her to suggest an unorthodox solution for saving the horse’s sight. But his girlfriend becomes determined to keep the once engaged couple apart, and extracts a promise from Dinny not to interfere in her relationship with him. Dinny realizes she’s falling in love with Grant again. Problem is, he’s a crook and her deceased husband’s arch-enemy. And she’s given her word to stay away from him. Grant never stopped loving her, and a nearly fatal incident with a horse gives him the unexpected opportunity to clear his name. When Dinny discovers the real criminal’s identity, she is faced with the sordid truth that her marriage was based on a lie. Can Grant forgive her for believing the wrong man? Can she forgive herself – or her late husband? Under pressure from Grant, she admits her true feelings, then tells him that she mustn't give into them. Angry and disappointed, he walks out on her. Soon afterwards, he risks his life to save his girlfriend and Dinny knows she’s truly lost him. Her life will be unbearable without him and she has to get him back. But how? After twenty-nine years, is it too late for them?

Horses captivated Hilary as a seven-year-old. Decades later, they still do. When her father replaced the family television with a book allowance for her and her brother, he was hoping they’d buy the classics. Hilary bought books on horses.

Every spare moment was spent in the attic, losing herself in the enchanting worlds of Ruby Ferguson’s Jill Books and the complete series of Flicka by Mary O’Hara, among others. She also purchased multiple tomes on horse care and obsessed about owning a pony.

Hilary also managed to almost fail English in school – somewhat unusual training for a future best selling author.

Happily, her childhood dreams were realized, and she has owned many horses. Her current equine soulmate, Cruz Bay, is a homebred Thoroughbred Welsh Cob cross. She competes with him in dressage and aspires to joining The Century Club one day, where the combined ages of horse and owner add up to one hundred!

Hilary’s Christian faith was growing at the same time as her riding skills improved and she rediscovered the ultimate goal: getting to Heaven. Her writing combines the beauty of horses with the truth of the Gospel and she hopes her books will encourage readers to join her in striving for that goal.

A note for readers of her Catholic books: The traditional Latin Mass is not available where she lives, so Hilary attends the Novus Ordo Mass at her local parish church, which is blessed with three holy priests who celebrate it with reverent devotion.

    I was so happy for this couple at the end of the book I had tears of joy in my eyes. So heartbreaking and heartwarming was this story, that I read it in one day. Just had to follow them on their journey as fast as I could. Thank you to the author for this beautiful book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER GREAT BOOK FROM HILARY
    Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2020
    This is Book #2 of this series - Book #1 was Saving Prophecy which I also loved. This book is all about second chances for both Dinny and Grant. I would also think it was about second chances for Becky her horse with an eye issue. Hilary made sure that the dedication to the needs of horses were at the forefront and that thinking outside the box for treatments paid off, big time.

    Of course this Christian fiction book showed that you need to have faith in yourself and others. I was about to give up on Dinny making up her mind for forgiveness. Finally the wedding.

    Good work Hilary. Now on to your next one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Second Chance Romance
    Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2020
    I received an ARC of this book from the author, Hilary Walker, via Bookfunnel and this is my voluntary and honest review. This is not only a second chance romance for Dinny and Grant who were engaged and broke up 29 years ago, but it is an informative book on the care of horses. I loved reading this book and it was hard to put down until I finished it. The author paints a picture with her words which makes the reader feel like they are actually in the scene taking place. I especially liked the way the animals were a part of Dinny and Grant's wedding. I highly recommend this book.

    This was so good. Dinny finally finds the tragic truth of her failed engagement with the love of her life Grant, after her husband of 29 years of marriage dies and she learns to forgive herself and live. I really enjoyed reading about the care of the horses in this story. I never knew there are so much to worry about over these animals. If you like clean inspiring stories with some horse tales thrown in, I highly recommend 'Dinny's Challenge '.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Hilary Walker strikes another home run!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2020
    Thoroughly enjoyed this story. The well-written characters, some of whom show how a person can live by faith, are captivating. Love how well miscommunication is handled - reinforces Men are from Mars (we just think differently).

    It is humbling to remember that everyone has weakness and flaws even when we don’t see them. Great vocabulary. I am not a “horse person” but thanks to Ms Walker, I have come to love them.

    I received a free advanced copy of this book and voluntarily leave my own honest review.
