Pine Hollow Setting The Pace

The Pine Hollow girls ring in the New Year with unexpected beginnings—and endings It’s been an eventful year—and the excitement is not winding down just because it’s New Year’s Eve. Carole never dreamed that falling in love could happen so fast—but Cam is speeding things along, and Carole’s doing her best to keep up. While Stevie helps a friend confront his past, Lisa has lots of decisions to make about her future. What will the New Year bring? And do the girls have the courage to face it?

Nothing’s riskier than love Now that Lisa and Alex have put their relationship on hold, Lisa knows she should try to see other people. After all, Alex is dating other girls. For some reason, Stevie is pushing hard for her to take Callie’s brother, Scott, to the Country Animal Rescue League fundraising dance. Just when Carole thinks she knows where things stand with Ben, an old boyfriend reappears and sweeps her off her feet. Suddenly everything seems perfect. But is it too good to be true? Meanwhile, Callie Forester is focused on riding and has set her sights on winning; romance can wait until after she gets a blue. Between love and competition, there is a lot at stake for the Pine Hollow girls.

Tensions threaten to derail the friendship of three horse-crazy best friends Competing in the prestigious Colesford Horse Show is a dream come true for sixteen-year-old Carole Hansen. Also participating are Stevie Lake and Ben Marlow, the sexy and mysterious guy Carole’s been working with at Pine Hollow Stables. Outside of the stables, Stevie’s campaign to elect Scott Forester as student body president just hit a major snag—cliquey, clueless Veronica DiAngelo. Lisa and Alex are back together, but Lisa’s worried their new open relationship will only end up hurting Alex. And worse, applying to colleges—close to home and far away—is only adding to her anxiety. Spilled secrets, an impossible choice between two beloved horses, and unexpected romance will make this an unforgettable time for the three friends.

Callie’s determination to win is admirable . . . and possibly dangerous With the holidays fast approaching, Stevie is searching for the perfect gift for her boyfriend. Meanwhile, Carole and Lisa each find romance in unexpected places. With their attention focused elsewhere, they don’t realize that their friend Callie Forester is galloping into trouble. On her road to recovery, all Callie can think about is being a champion rider once again. She won’t let anything get in her way—not even the warning signs. Every day, she spends hours in the wooded trails behind Pine Hollow—just her and her horse. At least, she thinks they’re alone . . .

It’s almost Thanksgiving—so why don’t any of the Pine Hollow riders feel thankful? Lisa Atwood is hoping to spend a relaxing Thanksgiving holiday in California. But it’s hard to stop thinking about her complicated relationship with her boyfriend, Alex—not to mention the loss of her beloved horse Prancer. Then her brother arrives with a big surprise, throwing the family into turmoil and making Lisa question what she has to be grateful for. Back home, Stevie Lake is no longer grounded, but her friends aren’t around to hang out with anyway. And Carole Hanson is just beginning her punishment for cheating on a test—no riding, no Pine Hollow, no socializing. The girls are going to have to search long and hard to find some gratitude this Thanksgiving.

Will Lisa Atwood make a decision that will split up three best friends forever? Seventeen-year-old Lisa never thought she’d be spending the summer three thousand miles away from her two best friends, Carole and Stevie, and her boyfriend, Alex. But sunny California has its perks—like a dream job working on the set of Paradise Ranch, one of the hottest shows on TV. It’s got horses and good-looking guys—like seriously swoon-worthy actors Skye Ransom and Jeremiah Jamison. Back home, Carole’s still crushing on stable hand Ben Marlow, who’s as gorgeous—and mysterious—as ever, and Stevie continues to brood over the near-fatal car accident from earlier in the summer. Then Stevie and Carole decide to take matters into their own hands. Will they be able to bring back their friend? Or will Lisa stay in Los Angeles forever?

Summer’s over, and Carole, Stevie, and Lisa are hoping things will get back to normal—but is there even such thing as normal anymore? The start of the new school year is a reality check for best friends Carole Hansen, Stevie Lake, and Lisa Atwood. Stevie’s boyfriend, Phil, is suddenly hanging out with Callie’s brother, Scott, who still blames Stevie for the near-fatal car accident that injured his sister. Carole’s new responsibilities at Pine Hollow Stables are threatening her relationships with her friends, and Lisa is having a hard time adjusting to being back in Willow Creek. Has she ruined her possibility for a career in the entertainment industry? And now Callie seems to be part of their special circle. Jealousy, betrayal, and an explosive secret will make this semester an unforgettable one. Forced to examine where their true loyalties lie, the girls start to realize that nothing stays the same—not even friendship.

Could the horses that brought them together pull them apart? Best friends Lisa Atwood, Carole Hanson, and Stevie Lake couldn’t be more different—except for the fact that they all love horses. Lisa is back from her summer in California and has just received some unwelcome news about her favorite horse, Prancer. Worse, she’s not being totally honest with her boyfriend, Alex—Stevie’s twin brother. Carole is spending all of her time at Pine Hollow Stables and is neglecting her friends and even her secret crush, Ben Marlow. And Stevie is busy with her boyfriend, Phil, trying to stop his best friend, A.J., from making a horrible mistake.

Then there’s Skye Ransom, the hot Hollywood actor in California. Lisa’s boyfriend, Alex—Stevie’s twin brother—doesn’t have a clue about Skye, and Lisa would rather not tell him. Carole can’t think about anything but the upcoming horse show. Stevie, a junior at Fenton Hall, a private school, is busy running Scott Forester’s campaign for student body president. And her parents are away for the weekend, which means everyone’s excited for some serious partying. But on the big night, things start going wrong. Then someone finds the beer Stevie’s older brother Chad and his bad-boy friend left in the basement. Tensions were already running high, and now friendships are on the line.
