Book description
Set against the glorious Cotswold countryside and the playgrounds of
the world, Jilly Cooper's Rutshire Chronicles, Riders,
Rivals, Polo, The Man Who Made Husbands
Jealous, Appassionata and Score!, offer an
intoxicating blend of skulduggery, swooning romance, sexual adventure
and hilarious high jinks.
Riders, the first and steamiest in the series, takes the lid
off international showjumping, a sport where the brave horses are
almost human, but the humans behave like animals.
The brooding hero, gypsy Jake Lovell, under whose magic hands the
most difficult horse or woman becomes biddable, is driven to the top
by his loathing of the beautiful bounder and darling of the show ring,
Rupert Campbell-Black. Having filched each other's horses, and fought
and fornicated their way around the capitals of Europe, the feud
between the two men finally erupts with devastating consequences
during the Los Angeles Olympics.
Jilly Cooper is a journalist, writer and media superstar. The author
of many number one bestselling novels, including Riders, Rivals, Polo,
The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous, Appassionata, Score! and Pandora, she
lives in Gloucestershire with her husband, Leo, five cats and her
greyhound dog. She was appointed OBE in the 2004 Queen's Birthday
Honours List for her contribution to literature.
