Probst saved the best for last in this phenomenal series. RUN, do not walk to get this book and savor these characters who are perfect for each other. I do not have enough positive adjectives to tell you how much I loved this book!

Not my first read by author, she was one of my very first reads, many moons ago!! I have also read Book #1 & 2!! This one I was looking for more because it involves horses, a traveler and the possibility of an end.
Harper is a beautiful soul, loner so to say. Content with herself at being alone, no man, no kids…hadn’t even thought about it. Heck she though she was broken because of that, but she just is okay to be where she is, with what she has and the way things have been. Until a stranger walks in, threatening it all.
That something was Aiden, a traveler from another country coming down to NY to get away from it all. Hide, run…whichever, he was there to not be elsewhere. That’s how he ended up in a B & B where the interior was charming and just what he needed. Harper is a strong woman but Aiden is the right kind of alpha to handle her. Their chemistry is off the hook in this, even when they stayed away…the glances and thoughts. *sizzling* and let’s not mention the cat-and-mouse-tug-and-pull-game they have going on!
Their first kiss…oh.my.god. I was literally swooning in my chair from it! GOOD GOSH, was that a perfect kiss. Aiden gave Harper exactly what she needed when she didn’t even know she DID need it. Forever Swooning over that kiss! Let me just also help you and throw in a baby goat Named Captain Hoof and a magnificent horse named Phoenix.
Basically Aiden let Harper BE HARPER, be the woman she is, strong and take-care of everything workaholic…but he gave her more…makes her feel alive, like a woman…sexy! And that is why AIDEN the Irish traveler is one of my now favorite BOOKBOYFRIENDS! *sigh*
But sadly like I said at the beginning that possibility became a guarantee of an END. JP writes beautiful words and I just loved this story. There was enough action, adventure, passion and the swoon factor not to mention romance. It also has the previous characters from book 1 and 2 so it all tied in beautifully. Even if the ending killed me *tear*
A MUST READ!

Harper is happy with her life at the farm. She takes care of the animals she rescues.
One day, one new guest comes to the inn her sister Ophelia runs. Aidan, an Irish horse trainer. And together, they start to prepare one of her horses to compete.
They feel an attraction between them since the beginning. But as Aidan is there only temporary, they decide to be just friends.
But we all know that sometimes those decisions are not ours to make 😁
I liked this book. Honestly, I didn't love it. But it's sweet. And it made me curious about the horse racing world.
I haven't read the previous books in this series. But, I wasn't lost in any moment.
I really enjoyed this book! It was a great finish to this series. I think my favorite of all. I loved the characters and the storyline! A beautiful love story!
Jennifer Probst has another hit! Harper and Aiden are two wounded souls looking for a safe harbor. If you love animals, this story will be delightful. The animals are an integral part of the story in the process of healing the humans. You will enjoy the laughter and delight in their antics. The story is filled with witty remarks and sweet moments that will make you sigh. As the couple journeys to make a racehorse out of Phoenix, they grow closer together. The journey is a marked by tough decisions and beautiful victories.
This is the final book in the Stay series and what a great way to finish and round off the series.
All Roads Lead To You is an emotional read with strong characters who you can’t help loving.
Harper Bishop runs a rescue farm for abused and neglected animals of all sorts, shapes and sizes and one of her rescues is a thoroughbred horse named Phoenix. Harper is focused on getting Phoenix healthy and trusting humans again which may in turn lead the horse making a comeback to the racetrack but she doesn’t have all the skills needed to train a racehorse, lucky for her one of the guests at the family B&B is a Irish trainer on his holidays. Aidan Connor is trying to work out where he wants to be and what the future holds for him and helping out with Phoenix could be the perfect distraction as he works his life out.........
This book has all the feels, it’s emotional, it has characters that have depth and it’s a captivating read with some adorable lines as we get to know all the animals at the farm. This book is beawrutten and I highly recommend it for all romance lovers.
Ms. Probst never fails to entertain with her stories, bringing all of the emotion and compelling characters.
I love this series and couldn’t wait to find out more about Harper. She was an enigma in the first two books and I knew there would be an emotional story for her.
Between Harper and Aidan, both had backgrounds with loss, pain and hardship. Harper found solace in animals and lives to rescue every injured animal. Aidan, a horse trainer from Ireland, has his own troubles but is looking for another horse to train.
The immediate connection between Harper and Aiden was evident to everyone but they worked to keep things professional while training Phoenix. When they finally give in to each other, it was magic! Neither had plans for anything permanent but were drawn more and more to each other.
The animals almost stole the show with Hei Hei appearing again. That chicken cracks me up and his unnerving way of intimidating people and animals. Phoenix, an abused horse, took Ethan and Harper months to somewhat alleviate his terror. As Aiden, Harper, and Elmo, the jockey, work with Phoenix, the horse slowly begins to trust and enjoy more of a normal life. When the horribly injured goat, named Captain Hoof is welcomed to the farm, it was so just heartbreaking. I had tears in my eyes when the goat and horse first saw each other and it seemed like these two wounded animals found a kinship.
Along with the beauty of Aiden and Harper’s strengthening relationship, we get to see more of Ophelia and Kyle and Ethan and Mia.
This was such an emotional story but so full of love and promise with a beautiful ending. For anyone that loves animals, this will pull at your heartstrings and make you laugh with their antics. I highly recommend.
Great book. Well written plot. Great setting. I must read the other books in this series. My thanks to the publisher for my advance ebook. Opinions stated are my own.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This was the first book I've read from this author and I didn't realise it was the third in a series. Luckily, the plot and characters are introduced slowly so there's no confusion or difficulty following the story.
The horses, rooster and goat (all animals on the farm really) pull on your heart strings which help to explain why Harper is the way she is. There always seems to be a never ending list of animals needing rescuing.
The racing is a nice side plot too but it's those moments on the farm, between the main characters and minor characters that are the best.
3.5 stars
This was such a great boo, it took me awhile to get through the first few chapters but after that, it was such a page turner. I liked how in the beginning, both main characters had the “ something’s coming vibe” I absolutely loved the Disney themed animal names, they had me cracking up. I hated how there are so many animals out there that are abused and in need of help, but loved the way all the animals were taken care of in this book. It warmed my heart. It also helped that Aiden and Harper were made for each other. The chemistry between them was fire. It also helped that they were Both lovers of all animals, the goat/chicken got me. 😂 I loved this book.
What a Finish!
All Roads Lead to You is book 3, and I assume the final book in the Stay series, and it’s another stellar story.
Harper is the youngest of the Bishop siblings and has always felt more comfortable around animals than people. Aidan is a horse trainer who’s trying to make it on his own and overcome a betrayal. They come together to train a very special horse but slowly realize that they are what the other has been looking for.
This slow burn romance kept me anticipating that first kiss and did NOT disappoint! Once Harper and Aidan admitted their desires the sex was HOT but even better the intimacy was profound. Harper’s story about her high school experience was absolutely heartbreaking and Aidan’s response was spot on.
I also absolutely loved the horse racing element of the story, it kept things interesting and at times intense! The Owen and Chloe flirtation and the interactions with Mia and Ethan and Ophelia and Kyle allowed us to catch up with the whole family. And best of all Hei Hei was back and we got to meet Captain Hoof!
Jennifer Probst has become and auto read for me and I can’t wait to see what comes next from her!
I received a complimentary review copy of this book but all opinions are my own.
This book was provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Jennifer Probst is one of my favorite authors. Her books are always a pleasure to read. All Roads Lead To You was a fantastic story. I enjoyed how Harper and Aiden’s relationship grew. Really good read with lots of romance and heat. This was a fun and easy read.
My heart feels impossibly full and warm after reading All Roads Lead To You by Jennifer Probst. This inspiring and heartwarming story was all about never losing hope, finding trust, surviving all obstacles and coming out on the other side of hell as a better soul. The characters, the story line and the writing was amazing to say the least!
Jennifer Probst is one of my all time favorite writers. And this story emphasized the reasons why. She has this brilliant ability to pull out intense and deep emotions from every line. This story has the unique powers of human and animal bonding incorporated in the swoonworthy and sometimes heartbreaking romance. Aiden and Harper met by chance after Aiden came to stay in her sister's inn. Harper runs an animal rescue and Phoenix is her pride horse. An abused and neglected horse brought back to life by Harper. And Phoenix can be the exact thing famous horse trainer Aiden is looking for. As Aiden prepares Phoenix for competitive racing to get back his lost reputation and glory, his chemistry with Harper is standing on the precipice. Will the past come to haunt him? Can Harper protect her heart, her horse and her sanity at the same time falling for someone she shouldn't?
I love the farm with the crazy, sweet, weird and adorable animals! They are the soul of this story, not a simple background. Aiden's character had some complex layers. I completely fall in love with this gorgeous man with a bit rough edge, unlimited sex appeal, protectiveness and just the right kind of bossy attitude. The scenes where he was interacting with the wounded and terrified animals with care, empathy and confidence melted me every damn time! And Harper is an incredible woman! She has the heart of gold and spine of steele. She can be so strong for the animals who need her help and protection. And she can be so vulnerable with the doubts and insecurities. Aiden is the perfect man for her who cherishes her but doesn't control her and protects her but doesn't take the decision away from her. The slow burn was burning up my device for real. The electrifying chemistry was so intense and beautiful. They had to go through some painful and devastating path. My heart almost could not take the heart break at the end! But it was all worth it at the end! The story had a big component of drama and adrenaline rush about the horse racing world which kept me on the edge of seat! I was cheering Team Phoenix all the way. The small town with it's loving people added another extra level of charm to the story.
All Roads Lead To You was a sensational, poignant, soul-deep and sexy love story in true Jennifer Probst style. Aiden, Harper and Phoenix will haunt me for a long time. This story gave me goosebumps , tears and swooniest smile!

Great addition to a fun series.
Jennifer Probst’s Stay series continues with book 3, “All Roads Lead to You”, Harper and Aidan’s story. While it was fun to see how the characters from the previous books were doing this book reads well as a stand alone story.
I loved how Harper and Aidan’s relationship started. So often in romances you have instant love or lust. Their connection was so much deeper. I enjoyed the insight into raving and the rescue animal sanctuary. There were the twists and turns I’ve learned to love in a Jennifer Probst book and a very satisfying HEA.
Every once in a while, a novel comes along at just the right time to hit all of the right notes for its reader. It just so happens that the week when I am reminded of just how important animal rescue groups are, I read a lovely, heart-felt, sometimes funny romance that involves a family doing rescue work.
All Roads Lead to You by Jennifer Probst is the third novel in her Stay series. While I could tell immediately that it was part of a series (the new loving couples are a dead giveaway) and I hadn’t read the previous two, I didn’t feel letdown at all. The characters mingling in each other’s lives was definitely a thing, especially because of their physical proximity.
The main character is Harper Bishop who is one of my favorite female romance characters in a very long time. She is who she is, take it or leave it. She isn’t asking for anyone’s approval.
“She was thirty-three years old and hadn’t experienced even a twinge of a ticking biological clock. No desire to try on white wedding dresses, or pick out baby names, or dream of a man who could complete her.
She was complete all by herself.”
And she’s mature. She deals maturely in relationships and doesn’t have tantrums, although she’s blunt.
Harper is all about the animals she rescues, firmly believing that all creatures deserve a chance.
Aidan O’Connor is very much her equal. In Ireland, he grew up from nothing to make a name for himself almost to have it taken away by someone he considered a friend. Now, in the States he’s looking for another chance and finds it in the temperamental thoroughbred Phoenix and maybe even in Harper.
The romance between Harper and Aidan is a slow burn, which I enjoyed. The chemistry, however, is rippling from the beginning.
And, speaking of beginnings, I loved how Harper and Aidan both had what were almost premonitions about something coming into their lives and then there they were, meeting each other. It felt of something bigger, which I adored.
The farm is filled with rescue animals from a grumpy cat, sweet horses, a bevy of dogs, alpha horses, a Polish chicken named Hei Hei who is almost worth the price of admission for his diva antics, and then there is Captain Hoof, an abandoned, abused goat kid who will steel your heart away.
Besides the romance, there is enough other plot with Phoenix’ racing to keep the reader swiftly turning pages.
I loved it. This is a book very much for you animal lovers and rescue supporters.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this series!!!!! Thanks for the opportunity to read this book before it’s release. Out of the three books this one was my favorite. I loved the romance between Aiden and Harper and the friendships develop between the family. Can’t wait for more from this author!!
Wow I'm just stunned with how good this title was. I just had so much fun reading this title and getting to along for the ride with these amazing characters. I'm so excited to see what's next from this author.
5 star!I love a hard-won happily ever after and “All Roads Lead to You” is a perfect one! This is one of those stories where you just feel good after reading it.
All Roads Lead to You by Jennifer Probst
All Roads Lead to You by Jennifer Probst is the third book in a series by Jennifer Probst called Stay. The story focuses on a family of three siblings who live in New York’s Hudson Valley. They run a B and B and a rescue farm for horses. Book one was all about the brother Ethan and Mia. Book two was about Ophelia and Kyle. This book is going to focus on Harper, the last sister and her rescue farm. While all books were great, they can be read as standalones.
Harper has always felt different. She is tall and does not look like her siblings. She finds solace with the horses she saves and her work with animals. Harper is smart, compassionate and caring, but she is also a straight talker with no ability to conceal her thoughts. She has a horse that has really has some interesting skills. The amount of work to get Phoenix to even be calm around them and be ridden was tremendous, but Harper thinks he was and is a racer.
Aiden came to the B and B to rest. He was looking for what was next, a horse to train, a past to conceal. It was then he saw Phoenix and met Harper. He is hooked and works hard to get the family to accept him and training Phoenix.
The story is another great love story. I love the openness and up front person that is Harper. I understand how Harper could love Aiden’s voice with his Irish lilt. All the animals seem to fall for Aiden which makes him even more a part of the family. I enjoy how Jennifer Probst always has a moral dilemma for each character and how they grow from their experiences. It doesn’t hurt that the books are HOT. All Roads Lead to You by Jennifer Probst was a great read with lots of romance.
While the writing is very good and keeps you invested in the story, I couldn’t get into the female character at all. I mean, she’s a strong woman and wants to do everything on her way, she doesn’t want to rely on anyone for anything in her life especially with their B&B but it feels like she could have loosened up a bit. Nobody is that cold strong headed and everyone has insecurities even if they don’t want to acknowledge them.
I’m a city girl and was like this all my life, maybe that’s why I couldn’t get into all this obsession with the horses and races and everything else regarding this story.
Everyone deserves love even if it takes more for some people to find or feel it.
