Aussie cop Dylan Hastings believes in things that are real. Family. Integrity. Justice. And he knows from bitter experience that the wrong woman can destroy it all. So when Megan Stafford walks into his life--a gorgeous urbanite who represents everything Dylan opposes--he knows trouble's not far behind.
Megan can't understand why she's so attracted to this infuriating man--even if he could double as a Greek god. She's a city girl. He's a country cop. And their attraction only reminds them why they shouldn't be together. Now, immersed in a battle of wills and desire, Dylan and Megan are tempted to break their own rules!

The problems a single parent faces in bringing up a child are very well brought out in this story. Also the child has been given first priority before the protagonists own desire. This is extremely important.
It is a fantastic book. You might think it's cliched, but mostly it's not. The characters are complex, the situations are complex and the emotions are complex. The story is a heart warming read.
The Preston Family is building a thoroughbred racing dynasty in Kentucky and Australia. However, disaster seems to be striking at every turn and the family's legacy may be about to crumble…unless they can find out who is targeting the family and their horses. This series has characters that made me care. It also had mystery, intrigue and, of course, romance. I plowed through this series quickly….dying to find out what would happen next. My only disappointment is that there isn't a 13th book to the series. I really want the surprise hero in The Secret Heiress to find his own happiness.
I have to admit that I'm something of a book cover snob. I would never have picked up these books in a bookstore. However, Flirting with Trouble, the first book in the series, is by an author I enjoy. Because I stumbled across it as an ebook and downloaded it, I didn't actually see the cover until I opened the book on my iPod ebook reader. Good thing!!! I would have been disappointed to miss out on the Thoroughbred Legacy series.
The series consists of the following books: (1) Flirting with Trouble by Elizabeth Bevarly (2) Biding Her Time by Wendy Warren (3) Picture of Perfection by Kristin Gabriel (4) Something to Talk About by Joanne Rock (5) Millions to Spare by Barbara Dunlop (6) Courting Disaster by Kathleen O'Reilly (7) Who's Cheatin' Who by Maggie Price (8) A Lady's Luck by Ken Casper (9) Darci's Pride by Jenna Mills (10) Breaking Free by Loreth Anne White (11) An Indecent Proposal by Margot Early (12) The Secret Heiress by Bethany Campbell
One of my cranium candy books that I can read fast and move on. Last night was cold and this helped keep me warm as I went through it. Good, quick read for in front of the fire or on the beach.
