Review for The Beautiful American
"This book grabs the reader's attention from the first page and won't let you put it down till you are finished. The author has done her research to match the story line into some actual historical characters and happenings, which helps make the story believable and captivating." --Jon Mattheis, The Kindle Book Review

Review of Pegasus by Marissa Libbit for Reader Views
“Pegasus” by Marilyn Holdsworth is the fictional journey of the main character Hannah Bradley as she uncovers a mystery surrounding her rescued horse Pegasus. As a writer, Hannah covers stories about animal abuse which leads to her desire to rescue wild horses. Upon the adoption of Pegasus, she discovers his true identity and connections to a black market ring involving the slaughter of wild mustangs. Helping Hannah with her quest to save the horses is her love Win Caughfield.
I really enjoyed “Pegasus.” The characters are very likable and well drawn out. Even the nefarious characters are entertaining because they are just so easy to dislike. Hannah is a true heroine who knows what she wants and how to get it even with potential harm in the way. Win is a tad too perfect in a Prince Charming sort of way, but who doesn’t like a good fairy tale? Pegasus is also an enjoyable character, and his recovery scenes were endearing. The action moved the story along well, and the storyline kept my interest. When a story stays with me after I have put a book down and I look forward to picking it back up, I know it’s good. My only critique is that the ending was a bit too “pretty” in that everything tied up a little too easily in my opinion, and I had hoped for a bit more drama. Overall, though, it was a nice, easy read. I recommend “Pegasus” to anyone who wants a good story to take them away for a few hours, whether a lover of horses or not. You will enjoy the ride, much like an easy canter through the field on a nice, spring day.

Holdsworth shines light on the issues of animal abuse and exploitation. The story centers around Hannah a young widowed journalist fiercely dedicated to saving mustangs from slaughter. After rescuing a badly injured horse, she searches to discover the animal's true identity and fights to save its life, all the while falling in love.
A former horse owner and trainer, as well as a supporter of Horse Rescue and Wild Horse Preservation, Holdsworth's lifelong commitment to horses served as motivation for "Pegasus".
"I wrote the book because I am deeply concerned about the exploitation and abuse of horses." Holdsworth says. "I wanted to make people aware and gain their support in the fight against this maltreatment." Pegasus captivates audiences with an eye-opening and adventurous tale of love and wild mustangs.
