About this listen
Do first impressions always last?
When veterinarian Brett Coulson and stable owner Samantha Hanson-Bishop meet, it’s hate at first sight. He thinks she’s a snobby, stuck-up bitch who wouldn’t know nice if it bit her on the backside. She thinks he’s a blundering, inexperienced little boy who shouldn’t be within 50 miles of her prized horses. But it doesn’t matter much - they’ll never have to see each other again. Or will they?
When fate throws them into the same room together at a charity fundraiser, the resentment between them quickly resurfaces. But mixed in with that resentment is something they both tried to deny...attraction.
Will the chemistry between them cancel out the animosity, or were their first impressions just too powerful to change?

A fantasy reimagined
I hated Samantha with a passion, being an equestrian myself, her stereotype annoys me. On the other hand I do love the equestrian and hot vet fantasy and wow that made up for it !!

A saucy tale of power and seduction
On Her High Horse by Lucy Felthouse is an erotic short story which centres around handsome veterinarian Brett Coulson and haughty stable-owner Samantha Hanson-Bishop. The young vet has been warned about the practice's most demanding client, but nothing quite prepares him for their first meeting. It's fair to say that sparks fly between Brett and Samantha, but initially they are more of the kind we were warned about in 90s Public Safety Announcements about playing with a kite near a pylon. Thrown together again at a fundraiser they are both shocked to feel that initial frisson of electricity turning into something a little less deadly, but just as tingly all over...
The narrative style and writing were both as 'down to Earth' as Brett himself professed to be, and there was a distinct Britishness to it all that was quite refreshing.
Julie-Ann Amos' narration was engaging, with good intonation and inflection preventing her performance from being flat. Each of her characters had distinct voices, though my initial impression was that her tone was a bit headmistress-ish, but as I learned more about Samantha this actually came to feel like a good fit. The fact that Amos sounds not dissimilar to Liza Tarbuck was a little disconcerting at times - such as when she was very matter-of-factly describing Brett addressing his frustrations in a layby - but it helped the story lose the melodramatic pretension that is so common in stories of this nature, and lent it some humourousness (if sometimes unintentionally).
Whilst we are always encouraged not to judge a book by its cover, that is especially important in this case, as the cover does not represent the contents very well at all. Samantha describes herself as old enough to be Brett's mother, and a sexless, possibly pre-menopausal, divorcee who has not been attracted to any man in a very long time. I think that makes Samantha a much more interesting protagonist than the cookie-cutter Babestation-blonde on the cover, and one who would appeal to a broader range of women who might be searching for a steamy fantasy romp that also feels tantalisingly resonant.
The writing could do with a bit of polish but I doubt anyone is listening to this book for its literary merit. I also felt that the intimate scenes could have explored Brett's experience in more detail, but if you want a steamy short story that doesn't take itself too seriously then this one certainly fits the bill.
*I received this audiobook free of charge in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

average storyline, great narration
The storyline was average to be honest. If you're looking for steamy, this book has it but in fairly short supply. The narration however far surpassed the story itself and I shall be looking out for more by this narrator - she reads at a perfect pace and with excellent intonation.
