4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 119 ratings

When safety is the greatest danger of all…
Devlin remembers a past he couldn’t possibly have lived, yet it is a past that holds him captive. Terrified that history will repeat itself, he creates a life for himself that he thinks will keep him from harm. But safety comes at a cost and when it becomes too high to pay, Devlin finds himself in more danger than ever.

When a horse chooses him as her Bond-Partner, he feels a level of protection from everything that threatens his existence, but he soon learns that his horse has no intention of playing it safe. If Devlin is to escape the past, he must find the strength to learn its lessons, for only then will he be able to save the life of the man who can ensure the survival of The New…

An Element Of Risk is a story of love, courage and friendship, and the strength that can be gained when a human trusts a horse. It can be read as a standalone novel or as a prequel to the popular The Horses Know trilogy.

    Lynn Mann's books are gifts that keep giving. I read and reread them because as unbelievably entertaining as they are, they go far beyond that and radiate peace and love and joy and opportunities to make discoveries and positive changes in one's own life.

    Devlin in an Element of Risk is a complicated, talented, and compassionate artist. He named his bond partner, Risk, and began a journey that required him to step farther out of his comfort zone than he thought possible in order to help someone on his own journey to help all humans. I am so grateful our talented author decided to provide us with another prequel to continue rounding out the backstory to The Horses Know. When I finished this book, I reached for another of the prequels, A Reason to be Noble, and am astounded at the joy and gifts this book provides to me on my third reread.

    This prequel has stolen my heart. Philosophy mixes with nature and combines the meaning of life with a darn good story.

    I almost gave up in this one. The set up took a little too much time. But then Lynn found her stride and it all made sense. But i would have liked more of the horse-wisdom part

    Lynn Mann is a genius when she wrote all of the books in "The Horses Know" series. You can't put these stories down. It is a series that makes you want to read over and over. I feel the connection between the horses and their bond person as I have had the same connection with my own horses. Great job Lynn.

    I have loved each and every one of Lynn Mann’s books, and this is no exception. Another piece to the puzzle has been put into place, and with amazing artistry (pun intended!). I found I couldn’t put this book down! Highly recommend reading!!! And it’s been a while since I’ve read Adam’s story, so I’m going to reread that again now. Seems fitting. Read this book- you will enjoy it guaranteed

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another fantastic read from this series
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 15, 2024
    The same high quality writing and storytelling as the rest of the series. A gripping read, I found myself so invested in the central character's story I couldn't put it down. This one is emotionally challenging, brought me to tears several times. When I finished it, I found myself immediately reaching for one of the other books (In Search of Peace) to re-read the dovetailing story. These books really are rather special.

    ...of The Horses Know.
    In this book we travel back to generations before the first novel in this series appear. In doing so we find a passing acquaintance of characters whose stories we know, but from a slightly different perspective. It is a compelling device that draws the reader into the story. This is truly a book I didn't want to end. Lynn has created a very unique and interesting world using the authenticity of horses, which is very real. Maybe they don't all speak to us in italic words in our heads, or maybe it is because we haven't yet learned to listen.

    I am not very good at writing reviews, I probably need a horse to help me find my true soul, however, this is a truly inspiring story, the love for humankind and horses runs through it all. I will now have to read in "search of peace" again a wonderful Author Lynn Mann.
