Ms. Probst has become a go to favorite author for me. I love her heartfelt contemporary romance stories with their right mix of humor and romance. With the animal rescue element and the wonderful animal characters added to the human characters this one will steal your heart especially the abandoned, abused baby goat. Harper Bishop has many a pang when she sees the love blossoming between her siblings and their significant others but she's happy to be single and devote her time and money to running her animal rescue farm. She has even more to look forward to with her rescue of a badly abused race horse who she feels could be a winner on the track except she has no idea how to train a race horse. Along comes Aidan O' Connor with his own bruised heart looking for a race horse whom he can take to the triple crown. It might look for a ready made recipe for romance and partnership but let me tell you this one is a slow one coming to boil.
Both Harper and Aidan have their own baggage and it's not easy given the abuse that Harper's been subjected to by her peers starting all the way back in school. Aidan has had a hard life but his last experience walking away from a winning race horse has definitely left him with scars. He has a lot to prove and certainly keeping his history under the covers might seem like a good idea until the cover is fully blown off.
Can these two damaged people find a way to trust and build a relationship? As they work with the horse and teach the horse to become a winner their own story flowers but it's just a short term romance, right? A beautiful love story, one of my favorites from the author.

Harper, Aidan, and Phoenix's backstory was so heartbreaking. These three souls *needed* each other and how much they all helped each other was completely evident throughout this story.

I loved how all of these characters saved each other but also allowed each other to grow and become the best that they could be. Even though the backstories of these rescues were so heartbreaking, this story is so full of hope and made my heart feel so full.

I've loved all the books in the Stay series and I hope to visit these characters again soon.

Harper & Aidan will lead you to loving everything about them!
Author Jennifer Probst gives us such a beautifully great love story full of humor, animals that steal your heart with the cuteness, and a well rounded dose of emotional connections with the characters that stick with you.
I enjoyed the romance build of Harper & Aidan.
It pulled my heart and not going to lie, I cried a couple of times while reading because it was just that good.
Another book in this series to grab & read!

Bring out the tissues and get ready to swoon!

This is a story of broken souls pairing up and healing each other. Whether you are a horse, a rooster, a goat, a dog or a human, finding your purpose and place in life is invaluable. When you have been hurt deeply and you just wander around trying to find your "home", it sometimes takes losing what you have achieved to recognize its value.

Harper and Aidan are off the charts! Their purpose is to save and heal a horse so he can achieve his place in life. As they rescue these animals at the Bishop Farm, they heal each other and begin to dream of a life where they both belong.

This story will grip your soul and lift you up. There is nothing like growing to a point where you know who you are and what you need for the rest of your life. You will tear up and embrace this story as your own.

I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing a copy with me.

A slow burn romance story that is so much more than just the romance. The chemistry was there from the first meeting and grew as the story went on. There were so many emotions, I even laughed a few times. Not only did I enjoy reading about Harper and Aidan, but I loved the animals and their many different personalities. There were times where they stole the show! I really enjoyed this journey.

Loved it. I really love the way Jennifer Proust tells a story. This one had your heart aching & breaking in the beginning, then feeling so full it could burst to aching again. The story of Harper & Aidan was strong & passionate when they finally allowed themselves to enjoy each other. The story of Phoenix was so painful to read but so beautiful as he developed his trust of Harper, Ethan & Aidan & showed his fighting spirit. I also loved Captain Hoof he was so sweet & how he bonded with Phoenix was wonderful. The humorous aspects of this book kept that light feeling in the heart & had me laughing out loud. I definitely recommend this book & the series.

Aidan O’Conner leaves Ireland for a change he needs desperately and finds himself on the ranch of Harper Bishop. Harper is an animal lover of all kinds and has a ranch to save animals who have been abused or neglected. When Aidan and Harper begin working together on a race horse named Phoenix that is when their lives change. If your a big animal lover and love to hear about horse racing 🏇 this book is for you. I found the book a little slow and the chemistry didn’t come to play until we got further towards the end of the book. Thank you Netgalley for providing this arc for an honest review.

I loved everything about Aidan’s and Harper’s story. It had it all, love, romance, comic moments and family love! Even though, they tried to ignore the chemistry between them, they couldn’t anymore. The blossoming of their romance and love was slow, but was worth it. I haven’t had the chance to read the two stories before this one yet, but I appreciate how Jennifer explains the background on each couple so you get to know the characters!

I have read Jennifer’s other series and this one does not disappoint! Continue the great work, Jennifer!

If you have read Jennifer Probst before you know that her books are ones you can devour, this book is no different.
I have been a fan of some of her other series so I was excited for this book. I haven’t read the other books in this series and I had no problem following along. It was a great standalone . I will definitely be reading the first two books.

All Roads Lead To You is emotional and you truly see how Harper and Aiden have to overcome their pasts and learn to love and trust again. The chemistry and connection between the hero and heroine was what kept me turning the pages. If you are looking for that book you can’t put down this is the one for you..

Thank you to netgalley for my ARC . Thank you for Jennifer for allowing me a sneak peek at such an amazing book.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

I loved Harper and Aidan (and Phoenix and the other rescue animals). This was a beautifully emotional story about chasing dreams and leaving your comfort zone. Harper's comfort zone is rescue animals, Aidan's is training horses - but what happens when enough isn't enough? Harper has bit of more than she can chew (maybe) with her dreams for Phoenix and Aidan is running from his past but can see Harper's dream for what it is - a second chance. Can these two wounded souls find new purpose in Phoenix? Maybe even each other? Not only is this a story about new beginnings, but learning how to trust again. And maybe, just maybe, this new beginning doesn't have to mean goodbye

5 Taking the Right Road to Their Future Stars!!!

The minute I started this third book in the Stay series by Ms. Probst I was IMMEDIATELY drawn to the story and the characters. Ms. Probst has a way of writing that I can’t help but be 100% invested from the first page!!

In this book we get the third sibling in the Bishop family, Harper and this woman touched something in me that I wasn’t expecting that’s for sure…but before I go there, let’s talk about her love interest Aidan O’Connor. He’s a well recognized horse trainer from Ireland that’s in the their little valley looking for a fresh start, that even he isn’t sure of. The moment these two locked eyes for the first time though, both their lives were forever changed…even if they didn’t want to admit it to themselves.

Enter Phoenix, a thoroughbred that Harper has rescued, she’s a lover of all animals and has a menagerie of rescued pets that had me snort laughing on more than one occasion, and she’s determined to make this horse a winner. The problem is that he’s quite skittish with everyone EXCEPT Aidan which shocks Harper! And so begins this story of healing, love and discovering that what you thought you wanted can be vastly different from what ends up happening and it’s all for the best!

“The road had led him right here, to this farm, to this horse. He was meant to be here and train him. He was meant to make Phoenix a champion.”

I fell in love hard for Harper and Aidan and the healing they bring to each other. There’s a history for both of them and thanks to the wonderfully emotional and rich deftness of Ms. Probst’s writing
I was in tears at times. And then, all of a sudden I’d find myself snort laughing either because Hei Hei was making himself known or I had a picture of Captain Hoof in my head and his antics. This is one of the things I love so much about this author and her stories. She gives me a full reading experience with each and every book and that’s not an easy task.

As the story progresses, and I should say it moves wonderfully smooth especially when we jump in time due to the nature of the story. And oh the slow burn between Harper and Aidan is one for the books. Their connection is immediate both from and emotional standpoint and a physical draw. Their connection continues to grow throughout the book and when we reach a pinnacle of the story, my heart was beating out of my chest and then the tears happened when truths are revealed and I just wasn’t sure I could take much more. The love these two had for each other was literally life changing….

“You told me to follow my heart. Every road I’ve ever walked has led me to the next town, the next barn, the next horse, and the next piece of my soul. But then I met you, Harper Bishop, and I was ruined.”

This is absolutely in my top reads for this year and my favorite of this series and dare I say it, on the top of my list of books written by Ms. Probst proving yet again why I will read any and everything she writes!! This story will tug at your heartstrings while at the same time have you rolling with laughter and have you rooting for the underdog and it’s not just Phoenix that’s at stake here!!!

I loved this story so much! My favorite kind of stories are those that involve animals so this story caught my attention right away. It is such a touching and oh so wonderful book.

I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars!! It is my favorite in the series!

The bond developed between Harper and her animals, especially Phoenix and Captain Hoof, is amazing. It's a bond that Aidan recognizes clearly as he eventually forms one as well. This bond with the animals brings the two of them closer together.

Both Harper & Aidan have issues with trust and will have some hurdles to overcome as they navigate the racing circuit and their developing relationship.

Such a beautiful love story!

I love Harper and Aidan’s story. They were too strong characters who knew what they wanted but didn’t know how to obtain it. He was trying to prove himself after a scandal in Ireland and she was trying to be strong for everyone even though she knew she wanted love but didn’t know how to go after it. As they work together to train a horse to race their feelings start to grow, but they don’t want to admit their feelings to each other for fear of getting hurt.
The slow burn of their relationship was great. They both knew their was something between them, but agreed to not go there so they could work together. Little by little they start opening up to each other, but when the truth about what happened in Ireland comes out, it threatens to end what they have started.
Great characters, wonderful plot and hard questions are presented in this book. This series is great and this book only made it better. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.

I literally couldn't read this book fast enough and once I started, I couldn't put it down. Harper and Aidan's story really touched me and I was easily able to identify with them as I help rescue animals (unfortunately not on the same scale as Harper though) and live in Louisville, home of the Kentucky Derby. I very much enjoyed how Harper tried to control what was between them. Each had pasts they had to overcome before they could learn to trust and love again and it was truly a pleasure being a part of that, even just as a reader. I loved the parts the rescued animals play in the story-line and wish I could meet He-he and the Captain one day.

For all you animal lovers who love heart warming romances All Roads Lead to You is the read for you. This book will suck you in. If you have read any books in the Stay series then you are familiar with the Bishop family. If you haven't don't worry you wont be lost while reading. But this is Harper's story. I love Harper and her spirit. She doesn't give up and has this special gift with animals. She doesn't trust people easily. Then enters Aiden and watch her get turned upside down and inside out. Aiden he is a lot like Harper and has his own special gift when it comes to animals. I love the bond they both form over the love animals. They fight of attraction is strong in this one but once they finally give in hold on tight and enjoy. Aiden is a bit broken and lost until he meets a special horse Phoenix and a special goat Captain Hoof. Just wait for the laugh and giggles you'll have with each of the special animals the Bishop family has. I couldn't get enough of this one. Aiden will make you swoon and Harper makes you smile. A fantastic read that just warms your heart and soul is what Jennifer Probst does best.

All Roads Lead to you is the third chapter of Jennifer Probst's Stay series. It's easily read as a stand-alone, but so fulfilling as a part of the series.

Harper's mission is to rescue as many broken and neglected animals as she can fit into her barn or apartment, fulfilling a part of herself that feels much the same but is never shared with family or friends.

Her rescued Thoroughbred, Phoenix, shows great potential for the track if he can only be rehabilitated safely. Trainer Aiden appears at just the right time to help out, but it's a long road for Harper to give Aiden her trust and for Aiden to give Harper his truth, a test for both of them. Their attraction is undeniable, but they mutually decide to keep the relationship strictly business until it becomes impossible to do so.

With some hilarity from characters already known, and the introduction of some new, Probst nicely balances the struggle and heartache Harper & Aiden experience to discover whether, indeed, All Roads Lead to You.

I did receive an ARC in exchange for my honest review, but to be fair, this was already an auto-buy for me!

I have to say that this Stay series has truly been one of my favorite Jennifer Probst series to date and this story, All Roads Lead to You, has been an absolute pleasure to read! I laughed, I cried and I honestly loved every moment! Full of special characters and animals, with wonderfully written words in an exciting storyline; this book is full of heart, hope, and humor with a nice side of sweet and sexy! I adore Aidan and Harper and the rest of the Bishop clan! Aidan and Harper are a special couple for sure. I love the slow burn that led up to them finally giving into their chemistry and intense attraction. Their banter is very entertaining. They knew what they were getting into but they sure got a lot more out of it than they planned! They really are perfect for each other! I love their shared passion for all the animal rescues whether they are dogs, cats, goats (Captain Hoof) or horses and of course the very fickle Hei Hei! The horse rescuing and the redemption of Phoenix was amazing! It is such a great story and left my heart so full.

I have been a fan of Jennifer Probst's writing for a while so when I got the email about reviewing this book I was very excited.



All Roads Lead To You is book number 3 in the Stay series but can actually be read as stand-alone but I think you will want to read the previous books just because so far this is a great series.



I love the characters and the chemistry between Harper and Aiden.



If you are looking for a fantastic romance book then I do recommend this one.



I give this 5 out of 5.
