THis contains two complete novels and form the first and second story in Nora's Irish Trilogy. The first story is Irish Thoroughbred and is the author's very first book. It's the story of Adelia Cunnane...the Irish hothead that squares off against Travis Grant, the powerful and rich horse-racing magnate. Watch the sparks fly! The second story is IRISH ROSE and it's the tale of her cousin, Erin McKinnon, also from Ireland. She agrees to come to the United States to keep up the books for Burke Logan, another powerful and rich horse stable owner. However, Erin is concerned that with the heat between the two of them, her employer might want her duties to include more than just bookkeeping. Both stories are enjoyable and well worth the read.

Two of Nora Roberts's older romances. Two good stories.

Two books in one - Nora Roberts first book "Irish Thoroughbred" and the sequel "Irish Rose"
Had I read these novels in the 80s, when they first came out, I would have enjoyed them much more. This book, comprised of both stories, is still an enjoyable, light, romantic read but, 25 years down the road , encounters that might have seemed romantic and sort of 'sweep-you-off-your-fee' now just comes across as aggressive sexual harrassment !
both stories were predictable but, again, I wanted a light read and that’s what I got.
Now on to the next reader.

This is a 2-in-1 edition containing the first book and the sequel.
They came to America in search of their destiny and discovered a lifetime of love.
Adelia Cunnane, her hot temper set the heart of Travis Grant aflame. Now the proud, powerful owner of Royal Meadows horse farm resolved to make this wild Irish Thoroughbred his own.
Erin McKinnon, a bold beauty, she accepted Burke Logan's loveless proposal and his cool promise of security and wealth. But could this ravishing Irish Rose win her hard-hearted husband's love?
Another wonderful read from Nora Roberts!

This is a great Nora Roberts book. The book contains two stories: Irish Thoroughbred and Irish Rose, both of which are great stories.
