Description

Second in the trilogy that brings readers into the turbulent lives of a bluegrass country horseracing clan from the #1 bestselling author of Kentucky Rich.

The powerful series that reunites the beloved Coleman and Thornton families continues with the story of Nealy Coleman Diamond. With her, horses come first. So when her two grown children's irresponsible acts nearly cost her Shufly, the foal that carries all her hopes for the Triple Crown, she throws them both off Blue Diamond Farm, a show more decision that changes their future—and her own.

When Hatch Littletree, her ex-husband's law partner, pays an unexpected visit, he brings Nealy much-needed comfort. But he also brings turmoil. A tough Native American and a brilliant attorney, Hatch is determined to see Nealy heal the painful rift with her children. He's also a man Nealy cannot resist.

Raw with emotion, and yet filled with an unstoppable energy, Nealy will face bitter disappointments, exhilarating triumphs, and a night of bloodcurdling terror—one that could mean the end of her dreams . . . and maybe her life.

In Kentucky Heat Fern Michaels keeps readers enthralled, as the power of a woman's indomitable spirit leaps off the page . . . and rushes like a thoroughbred toward a finish you will never forget.

Praise for the Kentucky Trilogy

"Prose so natural that it seems you are witnessing a story rather than reading about it." —Los Angeles Sunday Times

"Fun . . . more plot twists than a soap opera, and will keep readers on tenterhooks for the next in the series." —Booklist

Cannot really recommend this book. It seemed very unrealistic and most of the characters were millionaires so who can relate? The main character, Nealy, is so stubborn and pigheaded to her family. She fires them from her horse farm so that they can have a life of their own? What ever happened to communication in a family? And of course, everyone forgives everyone even if they have treated like crap. Totally unrealistic.
This is a continuation of the character Nealy Diamond Clay's life. She gets burned in the story.

I liked the first book better.
The third book is: Kentucky Sunrise
