Love, Canter, Action by Katie Gilbert is a delightful young adult romance that blends equestrian life with Hollywood glamour. Set in small-town Georgia, the story follows Nora Green, a determined teen grappling with grief and longing for a fresh start. After her mother’s passing, Nora finds herself living with a father she barely knows and yearning to escape. Her dreams take a hopeful turn when she’s accepted into a prestigious equine training program in Montana. To fund this opportunity, she takes a job wrangling horses on a movie set, only to discover that the film’s star is Alexander Mathis, a teen heartthrob entangled in scandal. An unexpected public altercation between them sparks rumors of a romance, leading Alec to propose a deal: three fake dates in exchange for covering her travel expenses. As their staged relationship unfolds, genuine feelings emerge, challenging Nora to confront her fears and open her heart. This debut novel, rich with humor and heartfelt moments, is perfect for readers who cherish horse stories and the complexities of young love.
