Synopsis

The first book in Natalie Keller Reinert’s beloved Eventing Series, set in the high-stakes world of three-day eventing, now reimagined with an all-new recording.

Jules Thornton didn’t come to Florida horse country to make friends. With her beloved horse Dynamo and her ruthless ambition, she is intent on becoming a world-class rider and trainer. Chasing dreams this big doesn’t leave much time for things like friends or vacations or properly cooked meals. And she certainly doesn’t have time for Pete Morrison, the handsome heir to one of Ocala’s grandest horse farms who keeps beating her at events and, for some reason, asking her out to dinner.

But even Jules has to admit that she is hanging on by a thread. As a new horse challenges her skills and her farm slips toward bankruptcy, she begins to realize her ambition can only take her so far. With hurricane season on the horizon, Jules will need to learn to trust her community—or risk losing everything.

In Natalie Keller Reinert’s beloved eight-book Eventing Series, we follow Jules and her friends through the joys and losses of competitive eventing, as they climb to the top of their sport—and into one another’s lives and hearts. Utterly immersive and propulsive, this series is an unforgettable journey for anyone who has ever fallen in love with horses, or humans.

A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

Goodreads review by Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon on November 29, 2018

This book was painful to read. It felt like Reed made one bad decision after another and drug herself in a deeper and deeper mess. And even though she brought most the trouble on herself, I felt kind of sorry for her as with friend like hers you couldn’t help but be paranoid Lol. That being said I w......more

My Random Thoughts on "Ambition": *I miss Josh *I really do not like Ivy, and I honestly don't see why she hates Billings THAT much, i mean i can even see hating them, but if you ask me, she took it to an extreme *I don't know why but I love Noelle, i mean in the book at one point, i actually despised her,......more

Goodreads review by Jacquelyn on August 29, 2018

I’m not sure what to think about these books. They are still staying decently (and consistently) entertaining, but the characters are so annoying. I feel like I’m back in high school... and I hated high school. While the storyline is entertaining, it’s starting to get a little overplayed. I’m half w......more

I read the first eight or so books of this series back in middle school and loved it (it's very similar to my guilty pleasure, Gossip Girl and PLL). I've since bought the rest of the series but never got around to finishing it... So I decided to reread this and freshen up my memory! This series is fu......more

Goodreads review by Ashleigh on December 30, 2017

I think the ending of this book saved it. Ambition is the 7th book in the Private series, which follows Reed Brennan, a young girl who is enrolled in an elite boarding school on a scholarship. Prior to the events in this book, Reed has risen from the bottom to the top of the social ladder to become t......more
