"...Have you ever had a book you couldn't stop reading because you had to know what happened next? This was one of those books for me! The relationships were amazingly written and make the reader feel as though they have a part in them.

I wouldn't say this book is only for teenagers. I enjoyed it so much I'd have sworn it was in fact written for adults. The author struck gold with this book. Move over Stephanie Meyer there's a new YA author on the block. There may be no vampires or werewolves, just reality at its best. Way to go M. Garzon you have officially made it onto my top authors list! I can't wait to read a lot more books by you." - Reviews, Mother of Insanity

"…Blaze of Glory is one of those books that you just can’t put down… Think Twlight crossed with Horse Whisperer and with a splash of Harlequin romance thrown in… The writer’s equestrian background is apparent and adds a level of credibility not often found in fiction involving horses… Yet the book doesn’t stoop to the level of brand-dropping, a habit which quickly dates a book and is all too common in young adult fiction today.” - HorseJunkiesUnited.com

“…On the Line discovered an addicting guilty pleasure of a novel last week with a level of steam and scandal that is way over the top –and oh so enjoyable to read… There is no one-dimensional writing in this book. Author m. garzon knows how to reach inside her reader’s head and carry them along with her character’s emotional highs and lows. She writes with the ease of someone who understands the way horses think and feel. This is her first novel and my hat’s off to her. So what are you waiting for? Jump on into this book.” -Erin Gilmore, Sidelines Magazine

“On occasion you start reading a book by a new author and you instantly know that you have just stumbled upon greatness. That is exactly what happened when I picked up Blaze of Glory by M. Garzon. Much like Sara Gruen in Water for Elephants, Garzon hooks the reader from the very beginning and doesn't let go until the last page. Her writing style is smooth, vividly descriptive, and easy to get lost in. Her characters are rich, well rounded, and she makes you feel as if you intimately know them.

You don't need to be a horse enthusiast to enjoy this book. The constant undertow is a developing love story that is attractive to both the older teenager and the adult audience. This novel moves at an effortless pace that will have you curled up in your favorite chair reading well into the evening hours. This being Garzon's first novel, I can't wait to see what is next. One thing I know for sure is that this is a new author who is going to take the literary world by storm!” - Emily Browning, SheWhoLovesDogs

“…A well-written and enthralling novel - I can't wait to see what rising star M. Garzon has in store next!” - Wendy Hines, MindingSpot

“I absolutely LOVED this book. The characters are very well written and complex. They have subtleties to them that are not always evident in young adult novels. You can see yourself in Tea's shoes and you can understand why she does what she does, no matter the consequences. She provides a strong independent character that teenage girls can look up to. Jaden is more than just the sexy male lead, he has great depth and morals. He is so easy to fall in love with that you can definitely understand why Tea is having such a hard time trying to stay away.

Any teenage girl would love this book, that I am absolutely sure. What surprised me was the fact that as a married woman and mother, I was just as enthralled as any teenager. To me, Blaze of Glory is not just a "horse" book, it is a wonderful, romantic, intriguing story taking place in a horse setting. You do not need to know anything about horses to enjoy this book. All of the horse references are clearly explained and intertwined seamlessly throughout the book. It is an easy read that keeps you entertained even when you are not reading it.” - Kristen Bobbitt, Baby Giveaways Galore
