I’ve enjoyed her books in the past, and probably will in the future, but this one was truly bad. The characters were so fake. In addition, I’m a horse racing fan. With a little research, she could have done OK with this book.
For one thing, Roberts had the horses for a race being saddled at their barns. Makes you wonder about her research – she never went to a racetrack, apparently, or even looked at a map of one. Every single racetrack in the U.S. has something called a paddock. It’s where the horses are saddle and “riders up” is called.
Then there was the yearling filly, whom they were certain was going to win the Triple Crown in the spring. It’s fun to dream, but it’s impossible to enter a two-year-old in any of the Triple Crown events. They're for three-year-olds. Again, basic research. Sorely lacking.

This is a marvelous follow up to Nora Roberts 2-in-1 book Irish Hearts (which includes Irish Thoroughbred and Irish Rose). This is the story of Dee and Travis Grant's daughter Keeley and the man she loves.

s stars. Nora Roberts always has books you can't hardly lay down, you just have to keep reading.

A very good romance of a rich horsebreeder daughter, and a hardworking horse trainer.

I really enjoyed this book, a third in Irish series for Roberts. Irish Thoroughbred and Irish Rose were the first two, or Irish Hearts has both in one book.

Great book. People of two completely classes can and do sometimes fall in love without too many complications!

Nora Roberts is an excellent author. This book is about the daugher of a rich horse breeder meeting and falling love with a wild Irish rebel. This is a very romantic reading.

A great continuation of the Irish Hearts series.
