Publisher Description
Kristiana Liepa was supposed to use the money to save her family farm. She was NOT supposed to spend it all to save a massive, black stallion.
But when she saw how he was being treated, what's a vet to do?
She had no idea that gorgeous beast was really a powerful (and morally gray) magician who had been cursed by a witch, or that she was the only one who could reverse the curse.
And she couldn't possibly have known how that one rash decision would irrevocably change her life. . . and his.

You can read a trade review and a longer description below:
Publisher's Weekly said, "My Queendom for a Horse is an intriguing paranormal romance with a fresh and fun setup. [R]eaders will enjoy both the magical and romantic elements." They also said, "The story of a shapeshifting horse is undoubtedly unique. The author puts a dynamic spin on fairytale tropes, while her knowledge and love of horses is evident throughout. A strong, confident female character takes center stage in this novel with her ability to talk to a cursed horse."
Here's the longer description with more detail:
Kristiana's father has a gambling problem. After a particularly bad hand of cards puts their family's land in jeopardy, her dad's solution is to call her billionaire ex. But Kris can't bring herself to beg him for money. At least, not her first time seeing him in ten years. Instead, she withdraws her life savings and bets on herself.
Thankfully, it pays off! She and her most promising horse win big at the Down Royal steeplechase in Ireland, but only because the best horse on the track wasn't ridden properly. Luckily, it's just enough to grant a stay of execution with the bank. Or it would be. . .
But when Kris realizes her nemesis is abusing the gorgeous black stallion who should have won, she can't help herself. She spends her winnings buying the horse she fell for the moment she saw him. It may not be the smartest move in the short run, but Obsidian Devil's her best hope of finally digging out from under the massive debt hanging over them. She'll have to ask her ex to help with the next payment, but seeing him again won't be so bad.
What Kris doesn't know is that her new purchase is actually a powerful magician, stuck in horse form by a witch's curse. She also has no idea that she'll be the only person who can help him lift the curse. . . And worst of all, that helping him may mean losing the family farm for good.

Unusual story
I really liked this, not what I was expecting at all.
Couldn’t put it down
It was time for bed. I had just finished my previous book. I was just opening this one to get it ready for the next day. Then I was just going to read a paragraph…a page…the first chapter. All of the sudden I was a quarter of the way through the book!
This was a great, clean romantasy. We have our heroine who is on the verge of losing everything and then she spends her money on a horse. Set in Latvia, this was a single POV romantasy. It is sweet and clean but on the heated and edgy side. There is mention of some parts because when Aleks shifts out of horse form, he doesn’t have clothes. He is the quintessential alpha hero. Russian and possessive and protective. This book had a love triangle (which I abhor) but I loved it anyway. Some day I might meet a Baker book that doesn’t captivate me, but it has yet to happen. I sailed through this book and am starting the next one immediately.
“My Queendom for a Horse” - Fantastic!
This is the first time reading this author and I’m so glad I found this book.
Oh my gosh, this book sucked me in from page one. It contains horses, shifters, family drama, relationships past and present, morals, love and a HEA ending. What more could you want?
This is definitely going into my favorites book list!
