What is up with this book!? 1. Why does it skip time in such a weird way? 2. Why was Part 1 SO BORING! It was difficult to get through but once through, Parts 2 and 3 flowed better. 3. Wtf is wrong with Hatch. What a moron. This selfish b doesn’t deserve him.
I like Fern Michaels. Seems like her books usually have horse farms, and this one did, as well. Big money, beautiful property, great horses, big barns. Also big problems and intertwined relationships.
I find this is Book #2 of a series of three. Guess I'll have to go look up Book #1 and Book #3. I'm looking forward to it -- this means more good reading!
First of all I want to say that I really liked the first book except for the talking to dead people & getting an answer. A few chapters into this one & I just can't handle more replies from dead people so I'm done with the series. I think the idea behind it is really good but I didn't like how the dead people were telling them the future.
3 stars. Meh-read but the stars are going down. So many weird choices in this book by both the author and the characters. Nealy kicks both her kids out for their own good, meets and falls in love with her late husband’s best friend, wins the triple crown again against all odds because she’s a woman (sigh), accepts kids back with open arms, gets burned beyond belief but her can-do attitude get her healed. This was the same old same old as the last book.
What worked for me: I liked some of the twists and turns. What didn’t work for me: Too much drama, not enough character development. Unlikeable characters. I skipped over the horse racing stuff. I just didn’t care. Flyby and Shufly, the names were annoying and not even named properly.
Nealey Coleman Diamond Clay is a force to be reckoned with! She is all about family and horses! She becomes the first woman jockey to win the Triple Crown of horse racing. This book tells of a super storm that devastates the city of Lexington, Kentucky. Barns are destroyed but the horses are not injured. Nealey faces a gruesome injury as a result of a barn fire. The book tells of her recovery. Highly recommend.
