SHE WAS PRACTICALLY ROYALTY -- the daughter of a rich, renowned horse-breeding dynasty. He was just a hardworking horse trainer. But Brian Donnelly was in America now, where even he might aspire to possess the breathtaking Keeley Grant. Her wealth and position didn't deter Brian... for it was the innocence Keeley offered him that beguiled the wild Irish rebel and threatened to corral his restless heart!

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.

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.

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.
