content: I can't speak for the previous books in the series (Kentucky Rich) as perhaps the early story of Nealy was better, but this book drove me nuts! I only kept reading to find out if they would race the Derby, and that was a pathetic short part of the book.Are we supposed to LIKE Nealy or feel a connection to her? God, what a horrible mean and controlling woman--famous jockey or no. I didn't like the rest of the family much either. No humor whatsoever. No romance either. The only characters I felt even some humor/connection/likability for were two of the minor ones, Willow and Jake. Shame.Apparently Fern Michaels has written a number in this series, and all I can say is why?
