Synopsis

From the New York Times–bestselling author's Americana series: A beautiful Kentucky horse trainer gives a handsome blueblood a run for his money.

Discover romance across America with Janet Dailey's classic series featuring a love story set in each of the fifty states. With more than 300 million books sold, Dailey is an undisputed legend of contemporary romantic fiction—and in Bluegrass King, she celebrates a love as lush as the rolling hills of Kentucky.

Dani Williams has always resented wealthy, self-confident Barrett King. The scion of a blueblood Kentucky family, Barrett is used to the best of everything—while Dani and her horse-trainer father struggle to get by. But now they own The Rogue, a thoroughbred racehorse Dani is sure will be a champion. Finally, she'll get to show Barrett that he can't always win.

But there's no such thing as a sure thing—on the racetrack or in love. And when tragedy strikes for Dani, Barrett's sincere caring threatens to reveal a devastating truth: Her resentment masks an aching desire for the almost impossibly handsome man. But if she unchains her heart, will Barrett welcome her into his world of Kentucky privilege? And could she ever belong?

Goodreads review by Kate on May 22, 2022

To be honest, the plot is a little nonsensical--her father just suddenly up and leaves her because he think he's a failure and some rich guy sees her face in a newspaper and decides that he's going to turn her into a model--but Dani is the kind of fiesty that I like, and Barrett (our love interest)......more

Goodreads review by Jo on August 07, 2023

Gets a bit dodgy at one point (and by dodgy I mean rapey). That seems to be common in books from the 80’s, a scary cave-man moment. In another book from this series the heroine finds her independence and her own path to happiness only to immediately discard it for marriage. This followed the same th......more
