About this ebook
The prequel to Rivals, now a major series streaming on Disney+
Welcome to the 80s, the decade of decadence... Where everyone wants to get on top
'Fun, sexy and unputdownable - a classic' Marian Keyes
‘Flawlessly entertaining’ Helen Fielding
‘Joyful and mischievous’ Jojo Moyes
__________________
Fall in love with Jilly Cooper and escape to the glorious Cotswolds countryside, where Riders offers an intoxicating blend of swooning romance, adventure and hilarious high jinks.
Brooding hero Jake Lovell, under whose magic hands even the most difficult horse or woman is charmed, is driven by his loathing of the dashing darling of the show ring, Rupert Campbell-Black. Having pinched each other’s horses and drunk their way around the capitals of Europe, the feud between the two men finally erupts with devastating consequences at the Los Angeles Olympics . . .
A classic bestseller, Riders takes the lid off international show jumping, a sport where the brave horses are almost human, but the humans behave like animals.
‘Sex and horses: who could ask for more?’ Sunday Telegraph

I read this book over and over again and fall in love with Rupert every time. Such a brilliant character, one of my favourites of all time in fact. Love that he lowers his guard occasionally and you see his sweet side. Even tho it's rather dated now it's still a hugely enjoyable and amusing read.

I've read this so many times but still love reading it, makes me laugh and cry all the way through every time. Brilliant characters and story line that keeps you reading. Makes me want to run off the countryside and find Rupert Campbell Black!
