It was amazing. It had everything that I wanted and more. This book is one I would reccomend to anyone who's looking for a tearful, heartfelt, and victory book. This book has ups and downs, but in the end it will make you happy and glad you started and finished the journey of Nealy Diamond Clay. It was raw with emotion, just like the back of the book said it would be. In other words, it was a masterpiece.

Generally, I don't read books of this nature, but it was my only option once upon a time, and I'm glad I read it. Fern Michaels is a fantastic story teller. This one was hard to put down, and even though I never read the first one, this one is good enough that it stands on its own.

I am enjoying this series.

Fern Michaels make the story so real. Loved this one.

What a way to get your children out of the picture? Lost a star for me and waited for it to get better. The first book was better for me.

A big part of this book was about overcoming personal tragedy and moving forward toward
reachable goals. Must read the last one of the trilogy!

4 1/2 wonderful stars. This book was better than the first. It was wonderful.

Wonderful

I enjoyed this second book, as much as the first! I'm looking forward to the next in the series. The details of each character, the horses, the farms all make for a very interesting and lovely read.

a great book in a series

I loved the second book in this series. A good book that kept my interest. I highly recommend this series

Nealy.has a horse farm in KY. She loved horses and all she did was work.
She rode Flyby and Shufly in the KY Derby and won. This is father and son. She won the Triple Crown with both. They even called her names because she was over 50 when she rode Shufly.
She found love again with Hatch(funny how he got that name).
You would love to read this book. It sure was interesting.

predictable

This is #2 in the Kentucky series. some interesting events but everything that happens is cookie cutter all ends well drama. The characters are not so well developed in this book as in the first. The jumps in time take place in the next paragraph- you never know when they will happen or how much time has elapsed. I was just waiting for it all to end.

Kentucky Heat is a bit of a soap opera with racehorses. There’s a lot going on, and it is entertaining, but frankly, I did not like the characters and I found their actions at times rather absurd which made the book hard to listen to.

The narrator of the audiobook did a decent job, but I might have enjoyed the book more with someone else reading it. Something about her voice grated on me.
