Summary: from horse racing to modelling
Review: I regard Janet Dailey's Americana series as modern-historical comic books. No insult intended. There are many of them (one for each state) in this series of somewhat short novels which reflect the good old non pc days --- interesting for a change, sometimes.Dani Williams has been drifting with her father all her life, raising and racing horses. Her father has raised a champion racehorse, Rogue, and she is obsessed with the idea that wealthy Barrett King is out to get Rogue and shouldn't be allowed to have him. Later, when Rogue is injured and has to be put down she blames it all on Barrett for no discernable reason. There is no real answer for why she hates him. I suppose it is because she actually likes him. I just don't know. Barrett himself seems like a nice gentleman --- even paying a hospital bill for the penniless Dani when her father runs out on her (thinking it's for her own good). Dani becomes a model and Barrett continues to try and look out for her and eventually the start a relationship. Why Barrett falls for Dani I'll never know. I suppose it's a story of a girl growing up and realizing her enemy is who just who she loved all along. Frankly, with all her childish temper tantrums, insane accusations, and all but flinging herself kicking and screaming on the floor sometimes I had to force myself to get through this one.
