Summary: "Stop after Kentucky Sunrise"

I am compulsive about finishing a series once I start one. I didn't want to read the Kentucky series to start with, but I was out of books and waiting on my Amazon Order and the Kentucky series was at the BX here in Korea so I bought it. Slim pickings for female fiction on a military base!

The first book was not great, but good enough. There are a few huge leaps that have to be accepted in the nature of fiction, but I could deal with them in Kentucky Sunrise. In this second installment, the "leaps" for the sake of fiction are ridiculous and don't even make good fiction. Oh, and the back cover was clearly written by someone who had not even read the book. It says Neally hooks up with her Ex husband's old law partner. >>> She didn't get a divorce as the cover implies, she was widowed. Her late husband was college buddies with Hatch, never actually law partners. It's the kind of error that's really annoying.

Neally is much less likable in this book and by the end of the book I had no desire to read any more about her. In fact, the book was on my nightstand a week with 20 pages to go because I was so sick of her. There is a lot of mystical (talking to the dead, eerie feelings that are 100% accurate, and communication with animals). The "love interest" Hatch isn't very well developed and by the end of the book, I didn't like him either for putting up with Neally's crap. The "big event" at the end is really absurd and the author tries to tie up too may loose ends in the plot like she was sick of them too.

I am going to read the next one in hopes of it being about Nick and Emmie (Nealy's kids) and because I feel compelled to finish the series, but I'd say if you read KY Sunrise and liked it, don't think you need to read this one. You will be happier to stop after the first. If you haven't read any of them, just skip this series entirely unless you're desperate for reading material.

Summary: "Terribly unrealistic"

I actually purchased all 3 books in this trilogy BEFORE reading the first one. Being an avid horse lover & owner of an ex-racehorse, I was excited to get them. However, the store is completely unrealistic and obviously written by someone who truely knows nothing about horses or racing. Continuously repetitive and boringly "perfect" characters who always win and don't seem to have much for negatives in their lives. The negatives they do face they use their outragous fortunes to buy out of. I never can seem to put a book down though, always hoping it will get better, but this one didn't. I eventually went to just skimming the pages, since it's all repetitive anyhow. I'm working on finishing the final book in the series (which isn't any better) and then I doubt I'll look to this author again.

Summary: "Fern Michaels book review"

I am hooked on books by Fern Michaels. She is such an interested writer. Each series she productions keeps your attention and never starts to sound like another book in the series. I am not a advocate reader except when it comes to her books. I was delighted to obtain this in a series of three from Amazon.com. This purchase provided me the complete Kentucky series. It is really great to have a source to located older and new books at great prices right from your home. Rise in Ga.

Summary: "Kentucky Heat"

What a good series and each book made you know the family just that much better. They became real to you and this was the last book in the series so I had to have it. Very good reading.
