My favorite Bev Pettersen book so far!
I have read all but one of Ms. Pettersen's books and loved them. However, this one is my favorite so far. Jenna is adorable and a breath of fresh air. I loved her down-to-earthiness. Her love interest, Burke, is a mixture of uptight, kind, steely, sexy, hunky, and also adorable in an alpha-male sort of way that makes one's heart pound. The ending of the book had me breathless and, dang, the battery on my Kindle ran out and I had to recharge it. Anyway, I finished the book with my heart in my throat. Kudos to Ms. Pettersen!

Great Story
Thoroughbreds and Trailer Trash takes place at an equine wellness facility that is in the middle of a hostile takeover. Burke, an executive, shows up to "flip" the center; he wants to cater to wealthy clients, and hopes to impress them with very qualified staff. Jenna, a talented horse masseuse, gets results, but is self-taught; she didn't even graduate from high school. She can't afford to lose the job; she's putting her little sister through college by herself, so as she gets closer to Burke, she's torn between coming clean and looking after what's most important to her, her sister.I absolutely LOVED Jenna. The girl's completely hilarious! She gets herself into some trouble, but everything that she does is to protect her family, friends, and of course, her elderly pony, Peanut. Burke, the poor guy, doesn't know what to make of her most of the time, but he he really is sweet, under all of the scary businessman stuff. It was cute how Jenna was the only person who wasn't...

This is romance at it's best.The setting is an equine care facility which in itself was interesting and educational for me.Jenna is an engaging heroine who has overcome her less than stellar upbringing and has found the perfect job as a horse masseuse.She is able to enjoy being with the animals she loves and help her younger sister attain the tools to allow her to move ahead in the world.Jenna has learned her craft by observation and intuition rather than through more traditional means.She personifies resourcefulness however and has acquired the necessary "proof" required to work as a professional.All is fine until the hero arrives!Derek Burke has been sent to find ways to streamline the operating costs of the facility and determine which staff and services are expendable.Top criteria-credentials!OhOh!I loved the play between the main characters and all of the employees at the center.This was one of those books that kept you turning the pages wondering how the...

So Clever! Straight from the Horse's Mouth!
I really liked this story. I liked that it was told through the horse's viewpoint! I liked that it had a happy ending! There's so much talk nowadays about what happens to Thoroughbreds when they are done racing. This is a great success story! And yes, it'll make you cry happy tears!

Product Description

Author Susan Nusser takes readers inside the excitement and suspense at one of Kentucky’s biggest breeding farms. Every year, two hundred broodmares in the farm’s barns give birth to the next generation of racehorses. In the eighteen months following their births, those foals will meet the world’s most skilled and knowledgeable horsemen — from grooms to veterinary orthopedists — who will shape them in to the kinds of yearlings that attract the attention of the sheikhs, moguls, and magnates who prowl the yearling sales, hunting for their next Derby winner.

From the carefully calculated birth of the new crop of foals to the horses' debut at the world’s premier yearling sale in Lexington, Kentucky, this is a rare behind-the-scenes look at the vets, the surgeries, the long hours, and the hard work that it takes to breed a Derby hopeful. Kentucky Derby Dreams follows the lives of foals born during the 2009 foaling season and uncovers the inside drama and heartache that accompany these potential champions from the foaling barn to the sales ring. Compelling, fascinating, and fast-paced, this is a must read for anyone who’s ever watched the Kentucky Derby.

Absolutely wonderful book for the OTTB owner, rider, trainer, fan
Anyone who owns, rides, trains, vets, plans to own, or shoes an off-track thoroughbred (OTTB) simply must read and own this book. It is potentially the best thing that has ever happened to the retired race horse in the U.S. and Canada.Here we get all the information that we so much need: What's different about the OTTB's training needs? What has the horse experienced in the past, from weaning to racing? How do this horse's metabolism, temperament, physiology, emotional psychology, and work ethic differ from those of the non-race breeds? How can we help an OTTB transition into new careers? What feed and turnout routine is optimal, and what are the tolerances for variation? Which types of conformation in OTTB's lend themselves to which riding disciplines?I so wish I'd had access to this book when I purchased my OTTB 8 years ago. It would have saved us both many hours of mutual confusion and fright. Every single sentence of this book rings true to my own...

Excellent Resource
By far, the most comprehensive resource for re-training the retired racehorse. The first book I've read that explains the thoroughbred's life at the racetrack, common injuries, conformation traits, and a detailed schedule for successfully transitioning the retired thoroughbred into companion and show horse. Wonderful interviews with top US riders and beautiful photos. A must read for anyone with a retired thoroughbred or looking to buy one.

Can't Wait For the Next One!
Irish Hearts was a great read! Both stories in this novel revolve around raising horses and racing them. The first story is about Travis and Adelia "Dee". I was hooked on this couple right after the first chapter. Dee is a feisty Irish and her temper turns Travis on even more. Needless to say this couple is hilarous! The second story is about Burke and Erin. Burke is so laid back and wants Erin so much he will do anything to have her, but he doesn't realize he has fallen in love with her. Both stories in this novel are wonderful! I don't know much about horses, and was surprised to find myself cheering for the horses at the races. I felt like I was in the stands myself! Both couples our so easy to like and you can feel yourself losing yourself in their stories. I'm looking forward now to starting the next novel to go with this book. It is called Irish Rebel and it picks up with Travis and Dee's daughter, Keeley. Hope all enjoys Irish Hearts as much as I did!

Nora Roberts' first story (1981) and its sequel (1988)
This book consists of two stories. Irish Thoroughbred (written in 1981) was supposedly Nora Roberts first story. NR fans will appreciate seeing her earliest work. It definitely has the seeds of her quality character development and romantic chemistry. However, it is qualitatively different from her later work -- and less enjoyable. The female character, Adelia, is almost the stereotypical romance heroine, completely dependent on her male employer/captor/whatever. The male lead, Travis, is also stereotypical in that he repeatedly makes "attack" advances on her, but only shows any real human emotion towards the end of the story. Both characters lack the complex development we so much enjoy in her later stories. The second book, Irish Rose (written in 1988), continues with the story of Dee's cousin, Erin, and Trevor's neighbor, Burke. This story has a stronger female lead, though the true Noraholic will still see Erin as somewhat weak compared to later...

Revisiting Early Books
For a rather late Nora Roberts fan (only the last 4 years or so) it was quite nice to find some of her early works in a reissue. The first story in this book acquaints us with Travis and Dee Grant, parents of Keely from Irish Rebel. I usually make it a point of reading books in their chronological order, so I was kind of miffed when I realized I had read Irish Rebel before this. However, this story was truly wonderful and an excellent example of how timeless Nora Roberts' writing is. The second story in the book, Irish Thoroughbred, was not as great. The relationship between Erin MacKinnon and Burke Logan doesn't really seem to develop, but follows the standard romance novel form of: man of the world sleeps with innocent virgin then decides to marry her but cannot admit his love for her while she desperately wants to feel loved, not just wanted. The story moves quickly, but one is left feeling a little unconnected with the main characters. Overall, the book is...
