I wasn't as impressed with the writing in this one. I have enjoyed other books by Michaels, but this one seemed confusing and stilted.

This is the second book in a trilogy. After reading the first, I wanted to continue reading to find out what happened to the protagonist, Nealy Diamond Clay. While I enjoyed the storyline, the dialogue was so stilted my enjoyment was diminished so much that I have no desire to read the final book.

Started reading this book and quit--something I don't do very often. I decided that this author is not really worth my time. Book is poorly written--avoid this author!

Excellent books, kept me right there wanting more. Full of family excitement, drama, death, long time friends, tragic things happen and so much more . .

DNF

This was a really good book. I have really enjoyed the story of Nealy and her family. I'm anxious to start the next book, Kentucky Sunrise.

I had so hoped that I would not come across the second book in this triology. In the first book, I learned to dislike Nealy Clay. In the second book, I learned to loath her. What a horrible mother. I could not buy her kicking her two kids out of her life "so they could spread their wings". Yeah, right. It went downhill from there for me. I struggled through the entire book, praying it would get better. Now my prayers are only that I don't come across the third book of the trilogy. Fern Michaels has a veery choppy disconnected writing style that I find a little awkward.

Oh my what a story!

I thought I was going to get though this book without bawling my eyes out, nope that didn't happen! Amazing writing with a awesome storyline!

Glad there was a second book.....

More than awesome...so intriguing....didn't want it to end!!! Such good read...I enjoyed it so much and I can't imagine living thru such devastation

review

Continuing story of Nealy Diamond and her horses. Nealy ran for the roses on Flyby and won. She fired both her children and they moved to Santa Fe to be near their father’s law partners and the son began his law education and Emmie had a baby.
In the meantime, one of the partners flew off to Kentucky to be show pictures of Gabby , the grand baby. This turned into a romance and a desire for marriage..
There came a terrible lightning storm that hit the stallion barn and Nealy was burned terribly.
Enjoy

The first 3/4 of the book were really good, the last 1/4 or so was boring, once Nealy had to go away fir her treatment it was so boring.

Shufly seems like such a lovely horse, Nealy has some wonderful family and friends, and a man who loves her to bits, but she treats them all really poorly. i found Nealy to be quite selfish, similiar to how I found Fanny to be in the other books in the Coleman/Thornton series.

I have enjoyed these first two books in this series, I am already reading Kentucky Sunrise, then that will be the end of these intermingled books.

Spell Binding

I read, I laughed, I cheered & whooped, I was stunned, I got angry & I cried. Fern Michaels is amazing - the people (and the horses) were so real; I will miss them.
