Silks and Sins by Clare O’Beara

You will be thrilled by this story of two sisters struggling with an inherited business involving horses no longer suitable for the riding school which was the business that was inherited.

Problems are abundant, including:
• A mother who no longer wants to run the business
• Horses too old for the business
• A manager intent on managing the business her way
• A community devoid of eligible males
• A business neither knows very well
• A city councilman who objects to the business and will not approve of improvements necessary for the business’ survival.

Geri and Jackie solve the problems one by one, except the objecting councilman. His interference hampers basic steps the sister’s ingenuity enable them to make.

The basic love story develops between Jackie and an up and coming jockey. Their common interest in horses leads to a closer relationship than interest in horses. It also leads to improvement in the sister’s business through his help.

His intense desire to ride in the nation’s most famous race leads to behavior that threatens to separate the lovers.

Meanwhile, older sister Geri, has developed a strong, though not romantic relationship, with a married man. It is not ill-advised since he is getting divorced and planning emigration upon final settlement of the divorce.

One of the enticing elements of this story is the large amount of instruction about horse-racing built into the narrative without appearing instructive. One becomes more knowledgeable about horses and racing without unduly noting it. It is a most welcome part of Silks and Sins.

You are highly recommended to buy this excellent story.

Silks And Sins edition by Clare O'Beara Romance eBooks Reviews

I loved this story of two sisters, their loves and their lives. It's set in horse country and I felt as if I was there all the way through the story. The descriptions are perfect, the story light and fun. This novel is charming and intriguing, light and entertaining. A great little read.
Ms. O"Beara gives the reader a taste of businesses involving horse and life in Ireland . Geri and Jackie are two sisters face major changes in their lives after the probate of their father's will is published . .Geri who has just lost her job in Dublin teams up with her sister to operate a family business involving a riding academy . They decide that their only hope is to modernize the operation . Jackie will handle the business affairs and Geri the stable operation . We follow their efforts as they revamp their business , and change their lives .Using individual strengths Jackie develops an interest in racing ( and a possible love ) while Geri finds herself working the school and bemoaning the shortage of eligible bachelors . Will the sisters find happiness and romance ? All will be answered by the closing pages . An interesting story with plenty of excitement .
I'm not much of a romance reader, but this was more about horses in Ireland. The romance wasn't overpowering nor distracting & seemed natural enough. I originally thought this was more of a YA book, but the situations are probably best suited for older teens & up.

It was an interesting situation; 2 sisters inherit their father's riding stable. They need to update it & breath new life into the situation. They certainly do that. Very likable, although a bit sketchy as was the mother.

Odd coming from me, but the book was too slim. There were quite a few situations that could have been fleshed out better such as a perfect bit of karma. Anyway, it was fun reading about the horse scene in Ireland. Obviously the author knows it well.
Two sisters who appear to be in their twenties, Jackie and Geri O'Keane, inherit a family riding stable in Ireland when their father dies. Geri, just made "redundant" by layoffs, and Jackie, going through the motions in a less-than-promising job, decide to take a chance and revitalize the stable into a vibrant and profitable enterprise. This project leads each to meet an eligible young man. The book focuses primarily on Jackie's relationship with Val, a promising jockey. As a romance, the book follows a familiar trajectory Jackie and Val's developing intimacy founders on an emotional hurdle that the characters must overcome before (no spoilers here, surely) reuniting.
Thus, two plot lines intertwine the romance and the women's efforts to showcase their business as a lively part of their community. Val links the two by contributing to the stable's web site launch and by providing Jackie with the impetus to compete in well-publicized "best-dressed" competitions at a variety of race courses. Jackie, in turn, becomes involved in the life of the racing yard for which Val serves as both principal jockey and "lad," or groom.
Silks and Sins is a gentle story populated by gentle, sensible characters with whom I thoroughly enjoyed spending time. Part of my enjoyment came from learning about the horse world in Ireland; O'Beara's matter-of-fact depiction of a young jockey's working life alongside her portrait of the day-to-day obstacles faced by young women in modern Ireland breathe life into the familiar romance framework. She doesn't glamorize either racing or running a riding stable, showing each as places where people work hard and struggle to keep up the discipline and integrity essential to success.
But I also enjoyed the realistic, quietly engaging plot lines. Geri's efforts to modernize the stable kept me thinking about what I'd do with such a challenge. Jackie and Val's inevitable crisis isn't melodramatic or contrived; it presents them with a serious challenge that they must work to resolve. Their reactions are natural and true to the characters. There are not a lot of surprises, but none are really needed. I found myself quite caught up in these people's understated lives.
In other words, you probably won't stay up until four in the morning to finish this book, and if you're not a romance fan (I'm not), you may resist the predictability underlying (but in this case not defining) the main plot line. But the compensating strengths of the story are such that I think many readers, like me, will look forward to re-entering O'Beara's world each day.
My only thought for O'Beara the cover image doesn't do the book justice. The two woman depicted look like Queen Elizabeth's aunts, not at all like the stylish young entrepreneurs I took Jackie and Geri to be!
Of course, I've never been to the races in Ireland, more's the pity. So I'm open to correction by those in the know. -)
