Hi readers!
I have awesome news today – there’s a Goodreads Giveaway for the upcoming reissue of AMBITION, and you can enter today through September 9, 2024. Yes, it’s for the paperback, which is absolutely gorgeous!
The new edition of AMBITION features beautiful new cover and interior design, and a few twists in the updated text that will keep you turning the pages even if you’ve read the book a hundred times before!

The Eventing Series: my most popular series – and for that, readers, I thank you so much!
I wrote the first draft of AMBITION in 2011, and since then, The Eventing Series has grown from a book I wrote in the evenings after shifts at the Central Park mounted unit barn, to a series sensation with a prequel, a spin-off series, and fans numbering in the tens of thousands. I am amazed every day at the reach Jules and her horses have around the globe. It’s just incredible!
One thing that has become apparent to me over the past few years is that AMBITION, only the second or third novel I’d ever written, is not written to the same standards as my more recent additions to the series, like PROSPECT or FLIGHT. In fact, the first few books have some issues I’ve wanted to correct for a long time. I want readers to have the best possible experience with my books.
And so this year I began a long process of revising the books in The Eventing Series – a process that will improve the writing, enhance the stories, and create a better reading experience for everyone. Whether you’re a long-time fan or you’re just picking up AMBITION for the first time, this is going to be a plus for you – really!
I am thrilled with the way the new editions are turning out. And I really can’t wait for you to read them. But it’s going to take some time to get through all of the books and develop them in the way they – and you – deserve.
With this revision and the need for updated editions and covers in mind, I am taking the series off-sale for a temporary period of time.
They will go back on sale as preorders, with release dates to be announced.
I am staggering this hiatus period. Books 1-4 will go off-sale from Kobo and their distribution partners beginning Wednesday, August 3.
They will go off-sale from Amazon, Google, Apple, and other partners beginning July 6 at 5 PM EST.
Books 5-8 will go off-sale in late summer. Briar Hill Farm will also go off-sale for a period this fall to prepare new editions.
The books will all return! And when they do, you’ll love the updated covers, more cohesive storytelling, and all-around improvements you’ll experience within the pages of these beloved titles.
Here’s what that means for you:
If you’re just getting into The Eventing Series, and you do not want to wait on the new editions to finish reading Books 1-4, you will want to purchase those books by Saturday, July 6. I recommend getting them from my store, where you can find the books alone or in a bundle package and save 20% with THANKS20 at checkout. You can also use PAPERBACK20 to purchase four or more paperbacks at a discount. You’ll likely find this is the most cost-effective way to purchase the current editions of the books.

Natalie
I know lots of readers have Kindle Unlimited subscriptions – I do, too! So here’s a rundown of the Natalie Keller Reinert books currently available with your Kindle Unlimited subscription!
Catoctin Creek
If you haven’t yet visited Catoctin Creek, you’re missing out on relaxation, beauty, and romance in the heart of the Maryland mountains. Readers love the settings and characters in Catoctin Creek. This series of four novels follows a new main character in each of the first three books, and then brings multiple characters together in the final volume. I purposely wrote Catoctin Creek to have a gentle, anxiety-free pace, as I began writing this series during the lockdowns of 2020.
This year, I designed beautiful new ebook covers for Catoctin Creek!
You can find the Catoctin Creek series in ebook at Amazon, and in paperback at all retailers, including my store, nataliekreinert.shop.
Sea Horse Ranch
Sea Horse Ranch and its follow-up, Sea Horse Lodge, are fan favorites for anyone who loves a unique, tropical setting! Years ago, I fell in love with the Florida Keys…and I’m hardly alone. In Sea Horse Ranch, I take readers off the beaten track, onto an out-island populated by a small group of islanders (lower Keys locals are called “Conchs” by the way) and a charming herd of horses. They’d love to offer beach rides with these horses…but the island doesn’t have a beach! That’s just the first hurdle towards keeping Sea Horse Ranch from falling into the hands of developers, as outside Katie will find after she ends up on the island.
There’s also a romance, a handsome musician, and a whole lot of island fun!
You can find Sea Horse Ranch in ebook at Amazon, and in paperback at all retailers, including nataliekreinert.shop.
Grabbing Mane
It’s called “relatable” for a reason…Grabbing Mane, and its follow-up, Flying Dismount, are two of my most popular books outside The Eventing Series! Casey’s grown-up life was perfectly fine. Great job, great boyfriend, great friends. But when she finds herself taking her first riding lesson since she gave up horses in high school, Casey’s life turns upside-down. Suddenly, she’s spending Saturdays at the barn instead of at brunch. Can Casey manage life, work, and horses? It’s the eternal question, now in novel form!
Grabbing Mane and Flying Dismount are available in ebook from Amazon, as well as in audiobook and paperback from all retailers!
These titles are the current Kindle Unlimited ebooks from Natalie Keller Reinert. I hope you enjoy them! And if you did, please leave a review or tell a friend!
NOW IN KINDLE UNLIMITED: three romantic comedies with my signature writing style (slightly wordy is how I’d describe it, does that sound right to you?) with characters you’ll love rooting for!
Read them with your Kindle Unlimited subscription during this limited-time KU run!
THE WEEKEND WE MET: Book One of The Settle Down Society, featuring Insta-Love with a catch…only one of them remembers where they met.
THE SETTLE DOWN SUMMER: Book Two of The Settle Down Society, featuring The Wrong Guy, a crusty detective with a heart of gold, and New York City in every season (summer just sounded best as the title).
SORRY I KISSED YOU: My spiciest book yet, but it’s still closed-door (sorry again!) and featuring a fake dating rock-star romance that was my favorite writing experience of the entire year. They say you can tell when a writer was having a great time, so give this one a try and see what really makes me happy!
Yes, it’s true! I’ve written a new book in The Eventing Series. Flight, which takes place after the action in Friends With Horses (Briar Hill Farm: Book Two) is coming out in July 2023 – in ebook and print.
Because the Eventing Series family has grown so much with the tie-in of characters from Alex & Alexander, Show Barn Blues, and Ocala Horse Girls, it felt like time to draw Jules and Pete (and their horses) out of the big group and really focus on them for a while. So Flight takes place not in Florida, but in Maryland!
Jules and Pete have come to Maryland for a six-week stay, during which time they’ll on-board two new horses for their farm and compete at several Maryland events before finishing the fall season at Chesapeake Three-Day Event on the Eastern Shores. Everything is not simple in Maryland — Jules thinks the eventing community is snobby and out to get her, and Pete’s new horses come with a big catch…their former trainer doesn’t really want to give them up.
While the eventing couple are trying to navigate conflict with their Maryland counterparts, they’re also just trying to survive as young parents on the road — not an easy thing to do!
With plenty of horses (old friends and new), lots of riding, and a level of Jules sass that should satisfy all her loyal fans, Flight is an adventure in eventing as only Jules and Pete could live it.
I think you’re going to love it!
You can preorder Flight from my store right now — don’t forget to use promo code THANKS20 at checkout to save 20% on your order. Ebooks will deliver in mid-July from BookFunnel, allowing you to read on your preferred digital device or the BookFunnel app and browser.

I’m very proud of my first Ocala Horse Girl today. Posey Malone, take a bow! The first of my equestrian romance series, The Project Horse, takes a finalist spot in the American Horse Publications’ 2023 awards. The category is best Equine-Related Fiction. In 2020, my novel The Hidden Horses of New York took this prize!
I think The Project Horse has what it takes to go all the way! In this novel, horse country ex-pat Posey Malone comes home again after spending ten years as a struggling copywriter in New York City…and finds out a few things have changed while she’s been gone. Thrust into the equestrian world so quickly she practically gets whiplash, Posey finds herself working alongside her ex-boyfriend Adam Salazar at his family’s Thoroughbred breeding and training farm. He’s the guy that pushed her out of horses a decade before, but Adam seems different now.
Different…and eager to make up for his past transgressions, although she’s not sure she wants to trust him. But when Posey bets him he can’t retrain a project horse to win a horse show class as quickly as she can, their uneasy relationship charges out of the gate!
Along with the fun and horsey romance taking place, readers also get to know Posey’s friends Evie Ballenger and Kayla Moore, who become the stars of their own stories in The Regift Horse and The Sweetheart Horse.
Check out the entire series in ebook and print at my store, nataliekreinert.shop, and save 20% everyday with promo code THANKS20 at checkout.
You can also find the books at all major retailers. Major ebook stores are listed here: books2read.com/theprojecthorse
Reviews at my store…
Join me in wishing The Project Horse good luck in the awards, announced in late June 2023, and enjoy the book!
Now available in ebook from my store at NatalieKReinert.shop, as well as the Amazon Kindle store: The Regift Horse, Book 3 of Ocala Horse Girls!
Evie has struggled to find meaning in her equestrian life after retiring her heart horse. So when her cousin concocts a plan to regift her Christmas horse to Evie, she’s on board with the idea…although she’s less certain when she finds out it comes with a boarding and training contract.
Malcolm Horsham is a notorious terror on the eventing circuit, especially where his staff is concerned. But when he offers Evie a shot at training with him for six months, she goes against the gossip and gives him a chance.
Is Malcolm going to grind his new working student into the ground? Or will Evie take every chance he gives her to pull aside his tough armor and find the nice guy within?
It’s a romance – take a guess. But the fun is definitely in the journey!
Have an amazing time with The Regift Horse…I know I had an amazing time writing it!

Fulfilling a dream for a friend? That’s all in a day’s work for Katie, who (almost) single-handedly saved Sea Horse Ranch and Hell and Dammit Cay from ruination. So when the island’s resident old salt, Marchant, has a brush with death that leaves him longing to satisfy some of his long-deferred desires, Katie is on the job.
It’s just one more thing on her plate, but Katie is pretty sure she can keep all her plates spinning. Add in a new friend, a long-lost relative, and some stormy weather, and you’re in for a fabulous beach read in this second installment of Sea Horse Ranch.

Watch for the paperback coming soon!
What an awesome launch of my first Kickstarter! 73% funded in the first two days…which means the audiobook of FOALING SEASON is close to getting produced. I’m so (cautiously) thrilled with the early response to this project.
It’s time to admit that producing books of any kind is not free. Whether an author is working on a publisher advance or an Amazon preorder system (which was my previous method of funding), the basic principles remain: electricity has to keep running, groceries have to be purchased, editing and design programs have to be paid for, and the rent must be paid. All while the book is in production!
If you preordered Book 2 of Briar Hill Farm, FRIENDS WITH HORSES, from Amazon, you got an email telling you the preorder was cancelled. That was Amazon’s call, not mine. But it’s okay, because I’m moving away from the Amazon preorder model to fund my books. Instead, I’m going to work with some new techniques…including Kickstarter.
And so it’s really important to know that a Kickstarter is not a donation – it’s a prepurchase with some great perks attached to thank you for jumping in before the product is complete. Even at the $5 backer level, you’ll get an exclusive short story written in the Briar Hill Farm world.
There are also exclusive digital and physical media packages, with perks like adding yourself to the books, or even adding your business!
So, please consider joining me in a better way to fund book production. And get some audiobooks produced, so more people can enjoy reading! Visit Kickstarter and check out the Briar Hill Farm page. Find the reward level that’s right for you. And share with friends who might love reading or giving the gift of fiction.
Thanks!
