Long Hot Summer was a short but a sweet read. Mrs. Alers continues to use her magic to create wonderful characters. I loved the whole concept of combining African-Americans,ranching and horse racing.The dedication to the first African-American jockeys in the Kentucky Derby was very special. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

I love Ms. Alers books anyway and this one was just as great as her other stories. It is a very romantic and realistic story of a couple who fall in love when they were not even looking for love. I can hardly wait to read the next saga for the 'The Blackstones of Virginia'. Thank you again Ms. Alers for all your great books.If you're looking for some great books with fantastic story lines, buy Ms. Alers books. You won't be disappointed!

I just finished reading it. It was a fun, sexy, romantic story. The chemistry between Ryan Blackstone and Kelly Andrews is fantastic. We are also introduced to Ryan's father, his brother, and his son. I believe this will become a series and there will be stories for his family, certainly for Ryan's brother Jeremy. Rochelle Alers rarely has a misstep, and this is no exception. I would say this is a must read for fans of Ms. Alers and a great read for someone looking to try out a new author. I recommend any of her other books...
