This is the third book in the series, but it is a stand alone. Harper has a horse farm in addition to participating in animal rescues. We wound out in the first book of the series that she rescues a thoroughbred horse that she beamed Phoenix. Aidan is a horse trainer from Ireland that is looking for his next horse to train in addition to deal with some baggage from home. He stays at the family bed and breakfast where he meets Harper and Phoenix. This is the journey of not only Harper and Aidan, but of Phoenix’s racing story. It was a well written story and emotional, in addition to funny. (Hei Hei is so funny) I also loved all of the animals that play a large part of this story (and named after Disney characters). I definitely recommend this book.

Harper runs an animal rescue on the former farm that her family now runs an inn on. She has started to feel like a fifth wheel as her sister has recently married and her brother is engaged. She has recently rescued a horse that she believes has the potential to be a successful race horse, but knows that she doesn’t have the experience to train him.

Aiden is vacationing at Harper’s family’s inn. He recently escaped from his native Ireland after having suffered a heartbreaking betrayal. He is immediately attracted to Harper. The attraction is partly physical, but also do to their mutual love of horses. After meeting Phoenix, Harper’s rescued horse with racing potential, he reveals to Harper that he is a race horse trainer.

Can two very independent people who are sure that they don’t want any part of a long-term relationship find happiness together?

Loved this story..... sensual, descriptive, heartfelt read.
All Roads Leads to You is a part of a series though each book is a standalone story the other stories in the series serves to enhance.

Harper is happy with her life with no complications until Aiden wanders in to the inn. Aiden is looking for his big win to show those in Ireland that he is a "winner" I love the introduction of new family member Captain and all the love he brings with him.

There were many instances where my heart raced to rally for a specific goal. Emotional scenes - sense of belonging, vulnerabilities are displayed as one learns to let go and to follow the path their heart leads them on.
Heartfelt story of believing in order to grow.

The is the third book in the Stay series and my first book by the author. You may be missing some aspects of cross-referenced between previous stories but it wasn't so much that I couldn't figure things out, so it could be read as a stand-alone

Harper works on her family's farm attached to the Bed and Breakfast the family built. Harper rescues abused animals and gives them a second chance at life. Phoenix is a beautiful horse that makes you work for his love but Harper sees his potential to be a winner. Enter Aiden. He is a horse trainer from Ireland trying to find his next horse to train, a new beginning, and redemption. He takes one look at Phoenix and he knows he has a winner in his sights. Both Phoenix and Harper make him work for it. Through Phoenix, both Harper and Aiden discover things about themselves and about each other.

The book takes place over a year, which I prefer to insta-stories. The lust to love is a slow burn and done very well. This book is a simple story of people (and animals) coming together to help one another try to reach their fullest potential. (There are no themes of treachery, drama, other woman/man/triangle drama, or harm to animals or farm if those things make you worried or detract from your reading experience.)

I will warn those with the potential to go out and buy a ton of rescue animals and put them in silly costumes, you might wake up in a daze a few days from now with a farm in your house. Not that you shouldn't do that but just know if you have the leanings, this will only make it worse. Be warned.

I would recommend the book for those that like to read about slow burn romance, horses, rescue animals, and coming back against all odds.

All Roads Lead to You by Jennifer Probst. 5 stars

I have read Ms. Probst before starting with her Billionaire Builders series. I was introduced to the Stay series published by Montlake with the second book, A Brand New Ending. I enjoyed that book and went to find the first book, The Start of Something Good immediately. This is the third book in the series and I think the best one. It reminds one of a classic romance, two individuals hurt and betrayed finding the courage to trust again. What makes this my favorite are the animals, we meet Hei Hei again and he is funny as ever. But I love Phoenix and Captain Hoof.

This book is about Harper Bishop, the last unattached Bishop sibling and Aidan O'Connor, a wandering horse trainer from Ireland looking for redemption. The plot centers around Phoenix, the rescued thoroughbred and his road to racing victory. Along the way we get the backstory for Harper and Aidan. This was a beautiful romance with the signature steam from Ms, Probst. Ms. Probst provided a lot of information on the ins and outs of the racing world; that did not detract from the romance and added some interest.

Thank you Netgalley and Montlake Romance for this ARC.

This is a novel beautiful novel of love, horse racing, and belonging written by one of the masters of romance—Jennifer Probst. It is hard to go wrong when you pick up one of her books. It is wonderful novel to enjoy on a lazy afternoon.

Loved this book, the third in the series, this is the story of Harper and Aiden.
She leads a quiet life, running her animal rescue. He is running away from Ireland, looking for a new horse to train, and finds Harper and Phoenix her rescue horse.

He was always meant to leave, but what will happen when he is actually supposed to go?

Love this series and the Bishops. Harper is fierce, strong, protective, yet so vulnerable. Her character is perfect for the animal rescue business and her backstory only adds depth to the emotion of the story.

Aidan is sexy and strong and about to be knocked off his feet. He is absolutely not looking for attachments or connections but that's exactly what he finds with the Bishops.

Loved book 3 in this series and so hoping Chloe gets a story of her own.

What a sweet story for the last Bishop sibling. Harper and Aiden are the perfect couple. They knew right away but took things slow due to working relationship. You’ll learn a lot about horse racing but it did take over the story which is a good thing. They handle the obstacles like adults without the drama which I loved.
All past players make an appearance including Hei Hei the chicken.
I recommend the whole series and I look forward to what comes next from JP

This is without a doubt my favourite book of this series. Harper is such a lovable, independent woman who knows exactly what she wants and isn't afraid to be blunt about it. Aidan is equally as honest, but you always get the sense that you don't quite know all his story.
One of my favourite things to read in a romance is when our two mains fight their mutual attraction to each other. When the writing makes you feel the tension and you're just waiting for the crackle to go "boom". Boy did I feel this with Harper and Aidan.
The lovely interactions with her family, and of the course the usual menagerie (and the newbies!) are such fun to read. I liked the minimal drama. I anticipated one thing, and was pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Beautiful story! If you love animals and especially rescue animals, you'll love this sweet inspirational romance about Phoenix and his road from ashes to fame. He is just like his owner, Harper, who rescued him from an abusive situation, and has a fiery temper and determined spirit to overcome any obstacle. Trainer, Aiden has the same love and bond for animals as Harper, but the two of them are used to be loners. This is one of the sweetest stories I've ever read and I fell in love with all the characters. It's the ultimate underdog story between three souls that surround themselves with kindred spirits, both human and animal.

What another great book to add to this series. From the very first book I have been waiting to read Harper's story. She seemed so sad in the first two books and I really wanted to know why. In this book we found out all about Harper. She is such a strong woman and the thing I absolutely loved about her was her ability to not let what people thought of her change who she was. She had a lot of struggles when she was younger but she pulled herself up. I love how much she cared for the animals she rescues. In this book we are introduced to Aidan. He has been dealt many difficult things in his life but he too fought to become who he is. Aidan and Harper are perfect together but they fight against their feelings because both are not only afraid of falling they are afraid of being hurt. Once they give into the passion they feel there is no turning back. Things get so complicated. Reading about their struggles is what makes this book so amazing. You add in all the side characters and all those funny farm animals and you have yourself a great read from start to finish. I am hoping that perhaps there will be more books in this series. I already miss the Bishop family. Thanks Net Galley. I voluntarily reviewed this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the third book in the series and is the last remaining person in the family so am assuming that it is the last book unless we get a book on Chloe even she is not a sibling. This is Harpers story and I always saw her as being strong until I read this book and it broke my heart but made me happy at how resilient she ended up being because of it. Ian had his heart broken in Ireland by not only his fling but more importantly by his best friend. Ian was truly what Harper needed and vice versa, they both grew with their relationship and were able to build on it. A lovely story..Loved reading of the previous couple and was happy to read about the wedding!

Harper is a feisty little thing, “would you like a handwritten Hallmark card to convey my real gratitude?” Aidan appreciates his lady's delicateness, "she cut up her chicken in tiny squares and gracefully popped them into her mouth. He enjoyed the way she ate like a lady." I liked this book, I loved Aidan. I really loved the family dynamic all these characters had together.

I loved this story. It was so beautiful and a wonderful slow burn. This series has been a great one and it is definitely a must read. I recommend this book, this author, and this series.

the is the last in the this series by Jennifer Probst and concerns sister Harper. I have to say, this one wasn't my favorite Jennifer Probst story. I never connected with Harper mainly because her gin "backstory" event wasn't that horrible to me. Aiden was an okay hero and the ending resolved nicely, but Harper just wasn't a favorite of mine.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley but I have my own copy on pre-order. Harper, her brother and sister are partners in the bed and breakfast inn that their mother started. Harper is in charge of the animal rescue operation and the horses for the guests to ride. Harper finds Phoenix, a battered horse as one of her rescues. She has a feeling that Phoenix has racing in his blood and wants to try to train him to run in the Triple Crown but she doesn't have the experience. Aiden, is a horse trainer from Ireland and has checked into the bed and breakfast while on vacation. He's looking for a new horse to train to try to redeem his reputation from things that happened in Ireland. Aiden sees Phoenix and has a feeling that he's a natural racing horse. He talks Harper into hiring him to train Phoenix which she does even though they didn't hit it off at first. There's a line in the book that says "wounded souls recognize each other". That saying is true for the recuse animals that help each other as well as Harper and Aiden. Harper and Aiden have an attraction to each other but decide to keep it only business between them. Of course, their attraction wins out. I had the good fortune to read this book in-between the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont race. I thought it was a really informative book about animal rescues and horse training without going into a lot of unnecessary detail. Thank you, Jennifer Probst for such a wonderful book!
