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.

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.

What a fun and emotional story about the beauty and strength of flawed and wounded souls. Harper and Aidan's story is another sweet, heartfelt and steamy romance in this series that always makes me laugh, cry, and swoon. Harper has her secret heartbreaks that have made her stronger and determined to rescue those other deem unlovable. She keeps everyone at a distance except her family. When a sexy stranger comes to stay, he dares her to open her heart. Aiden has been betrayed before and he is looking for his redemption. When Harper and her animals offer him a chance, he learns that peace and love can be found in the most unexpected places. There was so much to love about this story. Not only was I totally invested in Harper and Aiden and how they helped each other open their hearts to love and trust, but the secondary characters and quirky animals added so much fun and beauty. I loved catching up with the rest of the family and the banter and unconditional love and support they provided. I am really enjoying this family saga series and can't get enough of this heartwarming, emotional, and steamy romance!

All Roads Lead to You was such a beautiful story. I was immediately drawn in by Harper and Aidan's chemistry and I buckled up and rode out the storm because it was definitely a slow burn romance. They were both determined to not let their attraction interfere with their goal to train Phoenix, one of Harper's rescues, and give him the chance to race. Also, Harper and Aidan both have secrets that they need to share with one another before they can fully commit to a relationship. I was glad that when Aidan's history was revealed, it wasn't blown into some overly dramatic situation. Harper was mature and listened to his side of the story and they addressed it like adults.

As an animal lover myself, I was drawn to the supporting characters that had four legs. When Captain Hoof was introduced to the story, my heart literally melted. Who doesn't love a baby goat with a disability? I also loved the horses. Seeing Phoenix running and even winning in the races was amazing. The interactions with the supporting characters that weren't of the animal variety were pretty fun as well. Since this is the third book in the series, the reader has had the chance to get to know two of the other couples already in the previous books. I haven't actually read those yet myself, but I don't feel like I missed anything when I read this one. I think you can easily read it as a standalone like I did. I imagine the experience is probably just a little richer when you have read the previous stories.

I know I mentioned the chemistry between Harper and Aidan earlier in my review. Not only was it present with our main couple. Chemistry made the "rescue" itself work. When everyone got along and they were operating on all cylinders, the farm ran smoothly and they could meet more needs. Aidan and Phoenix had chemistry. Phoenix and Elmo, the jockey, had chemistry. The animals had chemistry among themselves, particularly Phoenix and Captain Hoof. At the crux of everything in. this book was great "chemistry."

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake Romance for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Harper's story was beautifully written, and the rescue animals are the absolute best! The goat, Captain Hoof, is so adorable and I love every time Hei Hei makes an appearance. The scenes with Aidan and the chicken costume were hilarious! This is one of my favorite series by Jennifer Probst.

This installment was definitely my favourite in this series. It could be because of the tie-in with the horses and I love all things equine. There was enough of a mystery surrounding the vacationer, Aidan, that kept the story going right to the end. His attraction to Harper right off the bat is undeniable. Harper's insecurities have buried her deep in her life's work and she just has no time for anyone else in her life aside from her animals. There's a lot of wall-breaking happening between the two of them through the course of this novel and it's just so heartwarming to read. Jennifer's writing is just easy to read and get lost in. The story flows easily and there's not a lot of downtime so it's easy to get wrapped up and finish this book quickly. Fabulous end to another great series by Jennifer!

I enjoyed this title, but I didn't love it.

And, I am not entirely sure why. I usually love titles by this author, and I did like this, but I wasn't as engaged with the characters as I usually am with titles by this author. I liked them as people, and I liked their stories, but I didn't really feel invested.

Harper and Aidan had an attraction that built, but it was never the full passion that made me believe that they would change their lives to pick one another, if that makes any sense. I could see them as a happily for now, but he is from Ireland and she runs a rescue horse farm in the US. Their lives are different, they have different goals and different things they want. In order for them to be willing, and want, to merge their lives, they needed the passion and romance that I just didn't feel that they had.

In fact, there was a part of me that actually didn't expect them to end up together at the end of the story...which would have been a hard sell for a romance, but I would not have been surprised if it had ended this way.

It's probably just me, and for someone else this will have been the perfect romance. It was an enjoyable read...it just felt a little flat to me.

Author Jennifer Probst Fan Page adds another touching and sexy romance to her Stay series. With a small town backdrop, All Roads Lead To You is tale about rescue farm owner Harper Bishop and sexy horse trainer Aidan O’Conner.

Harper Bishop’s passion is her rescue farm, but her dream is to help her rescued thoroughbred win the Triple Crown although she has no idea how to go about it. But the new guest at her sister’s B&B has more than a panty melting brogue and smile, he’s got the knowhow.

Aidan O’Connor left Ireland to start fresh after his best friend’s duplicity. He can’t help but hope when he sees the horse’s fiery spirit. Offering his expertise comes with a complications though. He’s not only attracted to the sexy and alluring Harper but has unexpected feelings for her. Can he stick to the professional boundaries Harper established or will they risk their hearts knowing their time together has an expiration date?

Having two goofy and loveable rescue dogs myself, I first fell in love with this book’s starting quote that bears repeating.
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” – Mahatma Gandhi.

Then I fell in love with animal lovers Aidan and Harper whose romance was deliciously sexy (Aidan’s brogue might have contributed greatly to that). The horse training aspect gave the story an interesting and original layer, and getting to see what the characters from past books in the series was an added bonus.

Jennifer Probst expertly blends humor, sexiness and emotion keeping the reader delightfully addicted. She entwines these elements evoking a hope that fate will align and bring love and happiness between two characters that seem to be at once perfect yet ill fitted for one another. I enjoyed this story, its plot, backdrop, characters and romance giving me the warm fuzzies.

All Roads Lead To You is book #3 of the Stay series by Jennifer Probst. It is a standalone contemporary romance told from both points of view with a happy ending.
