Reviews of the Chestnut Hill and Heartland series
"...once I started reading Heartland & Chestnut Hill, I couldn't put those books down..."
I love Chestnut Hill & Heartland!!! I hate reading, but once I started reading Heartland & Chestnut Hill, I couldn't put those books down. They are great. I love reading them and I am looking forward to getting more of the books in the Series. They tell about great stories and I definately recommend it to other people that love animals or just want a really good book to read :) !! -- FarmerChick
I Love Heartland and Chestnut Hill so much. I love reading but I love the books that are about horses a lot better. And when I found Chestnut Hill and Heartland I fell in LOVE with them. And I can NOT wait for more of the series to come out. -- horse_crazy_girl
"Even if you don't ride you can still love these...
I love the every one of Lauren Brooke's books. I have read most of the Heartland series and I must have read the Chestnut Hill series at least 5 times! I wish she could write faster LOL! I think all pre-teen/young teens can really relate to the Chestnut Hill series..but Heartland is really a book for all ages (my mom even reads them when I finish with one!!). I love the Chestnut Hill series because I think it is funny, while Heartland is more sad, but can be happy. Once I start reading one of her books I just cannot put them down! I am so glad there are books out there for us horse-lovers!! Even if you don't ride you can still love these (as long as you love horses). SHOW JUMPING ROX!! Sry...just had to get that in there lol! -- ShowJumper
I have only read the first two books of the series, but I am DEFINATELY thriving for more! I can definately see that Ty likes Amy... and seeing the back of later books, I guess I'm right! I absolutely love these books. I hope you write more than only twenty! (Like those Thoroughbred books seem to have a never ending series! Not that its bad.) But I LOVE the books and recommend them to people that like animals, and especially those who like horses! -- Bailey
I LOVE Heartland and Chestnut Hill! I just wish all the characters were real. When I first heard of the 1st Chestnut Hill book I thought the summary was kinda odd, but I liked it and thought I would try it since I am always looking for more new horse books to read, but now I am hooked!! It's too bad that Chestnut Hill and Heartland are not real places! What could be better than living with your best friends at the same place you kept your horse and riding about everyday! -- equine_addicted
"I can't wait to get all the books read!"
WOW!!! I LOVE your books Lauren! They are all exciting and breath-taking! I can't wait to get all the books read! I feel like I'm there with Amy and Ty, and all of their friends! I just don't get why you stopped writing... -- horse_crazy!
I absolutely love Chestnut Hill and Heartland book series. I just can't put those books down, even though I come from a different world of horsemanship. I'm a barrel racer and have never ridden english in my life, I still have a very big respect for all of yall that do. It's amazing and I wanna learn how too. Anyway, the books are amazing, I can actually see what's happening in my mind. THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- Equine_Freak12
I Love Horses And A Good Book, So The Heartland & Chestnut Hill Books Make A Perfect Read!! Lauren Brooke Is A Fab Writer. I Can't Wait For The Next Chestnut Hill Book To Come Out!! -- HorseLover..x
I love the Heartland and Chestnut Hill books. I think Lauren is an amazing author! I've read and collected all the CH books so far and am definately getting the next two. I actually haven't read much of Heartland (just the first two books) but what I have read is great. I think it's so sad in the first book when Amy's mom dies! But I'm glad Spartan trusts her in the second. I think it's fantastic how Amy did a join-up with him! Lauren, keep writing your amazing books! -- Kel2k8
I love this series. I ride western but this just drags you in! She writes so well, you see a movie while reading!! LOVE IT!!! -- Moose
I have read all the Heartland books and Chestnut Hill books from 1 to 4 and they rock! Please keep writing more Chestnut Hill books! My favorite Characters are Dylan, Amy, Malory, Honey and Lani--and of course all the awesome horses! -- San

WOW LAUREN YOU ARE AWESOME AT WRITING BOOKS LIKE THESE.
WOW! I can't believe it--I found some books that I love. I'm crazy about horses and when I found the Heartland books I was so happy and I just couldn't stop reading them; I had to keep going. Then I found Chestnut Hill and I felt the same way about them. When I found the Heartland books I thought those were the only ones but then one day when I was waiting for a Heartland book I was looking through some of the library books and found Chestnut Hill. WOW LAUREN YOU ARE AWESOME AT WRITING BOOKS LIKE THESE. I have read 20 of the Heartland books and 6 of the Chestnut Hill but I got told that there were 36 of Heartland books and I don't know how many Chestnut Hill books there are. But all I can say is LAUREN BROOKE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. -- Horses_lover
Lauren Brooke is such a good writer, the way the characters act and are put together are amazing!!! I got all the Chestnut Hill series for Christmas and I just finished the Heartland series. She should make a movie of these!!!! LUV U LAUREN -- Moose
I absolutely LOVE the Heartland series!!! I started reading Heartland because my friend was into horses and I wanted to learn more about them. This series made me fall in love with horses. Now I am determined to start riding, no matter what it takes. At first, I just read the books because of the horses, but when Amy and Ty got together it made me want to read them even more. I just can't believe they broke up!!!! I really hope they get back together in A Summer to Remember. I really hope that Ty breaks up with Heather and gets back together with Amy. They were made for each other. They even admitted they were in love in several of the books! I also hope they get married. I never actually cried while reading these books because I'm not the type of girl who cries a lot, but I got pretty close. I giggled an awful lot, though. I like the Chestnut Hill series, too, but I like Heartland better. I could never put the books down. Sometimes my parents tease me about reading so much and say I should live in the real world more, but I don't care. I just love to read, especially the Heartland books. I think Lauren Brooke is a great author. I'm even doing a report on her. I hope she never stops writing Heartland books, because I don't think I could live without them.

Chestnut Hill and Heartland are amazing books! They are deffinetly....well AMAZING!!! Even though I have never even touched an english saddle the book and characters just draw you in! I have read 1-6 in the Chestnut Hill series and 1&2 in the Heartland (but I'm looking 4 the third!) The Chestnut Hill series relates to teens and the Heartland books can relate to teens but is a bit sadder. I really wish CH was real, cause if it was I would go to Virginia all the way from Canada just to go! YOU'RE AMAZING LAUREN KEEP THE BOOKS COMING!!!!!!! -- Tay
Hi everyone, I just wanted 2 say I LOVE Heartland + Chestnut Hill I also love u LAUREN u rock, seriously I couldn't live without reading and I certainly couldn't live without horses. Heartland and Chestnut Hill are fabulous and words can't describe how brilliant they are!!1 They make u laugh, cry, and love. If u haven't read any Lauren Brooke books I really encourage u 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE LAUREN BROOKE!!!!!!!!!!! THANK U XXX -- Simba girl md ireland
I have learned a lot from reading these books. Knowing how to join up with a horse or pony from Heartland is a big help--I have a pony and a friend with a pony who could really use some joining-up. And in Chestnut Hill, Amy Fleming comes and helps Malory join-up with Tybalt. And when Malory first saw Tybalt, she breathed into his nostrils to become friends. I did that with my pony. Lauren Brooke is my favorite author. -- ABStella
