About this listen

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 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 at the Los Angeles Olympics.

I've been reading and re-reading this for donkey's years in paper form, so was delighted to find it unabridged in Audible. Its kept me entertained for weeks in the car. The characters in this are brilliant, and they haven't become the caricatures that some of the later books portray. I have real love-hate feelings for most of the characters, and get drawn in every time.
A rattling good read - recommended!!

The first and best!

Loved this book and would recommend it to anyone. Very well written, it really got to me; I could not stop listening. Well done Ms. Cooper

If you read Jilly Cooper's classic Riders and loved it (who didn't - such a guilty pleasure) you will not be disappointed with the audio version. Beautifully read.

If you missed Jilly in the original format you must listen to this whilst appreciating it is of its time. And in its time (1980s) it was simply fabulous, and tittilating, and outrageous (I got most of my sex-ed from this book). It is certainly no feminist classic but it certainly liberated me ;) and most of my contemporaries. This is one bit of the '80s I welcome back with open arms.

Like previous reviewers I wait, impatiently, for the rest of the series. Please ask the publisher to hurry with Rivals I am almost at the end of Riders and I will suffer terribly having to wait.

At last!!

After having listened (and enjoyed) to Jump last year, I finally got around to listening to the first in this series. Although I'm not at all "horsey" I thoroughly enjoyed this. So many great characters. Really good value for money - its over 30 hours long,. Brilliantly read by Gerri Halligan .

my only regret is the whole of this series is not available ....come on Audible :-)

loved every minute

One of Jilly Cooper’s very best and beautifully narrated. I hope this
Narrator can be persuaded to take on “Rivals” as I am sure many audible customers would love to have it in their collection.

Excellent narration
