This is the first book in Kathleen Brooks' Bestselling Bluegrass Series.

She thought she would be safe far away in Kentucky…

McKenna Mason’s perfect life in New York City has just been destroyed. She is now a witness to a horrific crime involving some of America’s most influential men. She knows she must get away and can think of only one outsider that might help her—Will Ashton. The flame of their brief romance during their teenage years never completely died out, and now it is about to explode.

Trouble at every turn, a feisty horse that refuses to race without a good luck kiss, and three old ladies hell-bent on playing match-maker turn this newly rekindled romance into a wild race to the finish. Can Will and McKenna cross the finish line together, and more importantly, alive?

Good Intrigue. This is a good book. Can't wait to read the rest of the books in this series.

Jd0687

Great storyline. Fun story of mystery, suspense, and romance. You get hooked with this one and want to read all the Keeneston stories and eventually you are convinced you want to move there on to realize it's fictional.

Windymoonwalker

Great Story. I laughed and cried! In my book that means a hellava of a good story!

Hilljenl

Loooove Bluegrass State of Mind!. Truly a great book! I laughed hysterically and couldn't put it down! I forgot how much I liked this series as I had downloaded it a while ago. To live in a town like this would truly be a gift! I would definitely recommend reading this book! I love all the towns' involvement and each have their own charm completing the books easy flow. Can't wait to read more! :)

Lingay

Bluegrass state of mind. I finished this book because the storyline it self had promise. However, it dragged on and on. It was sooo cheesy it made me laugh. Won't be reading the other books. This prob won't make printed reviews. Ha

=Linz12=

Bluegrass State of Mind. I downloaded this book because of the good reviews it had. I'm so glad I did!! However, I was a little frustrated with the writing at times. The repetition and over use of some words and names was irritating and the way she wrote about the horses bothered me. I have worked with horses for over 15 years and they do not act the way she says they do. At any rate, it was still an excellent read and I highly recommend it for anyone, country person or not!

Kataney

Blue Grass books. Love all the books good clean suspense

Msc377

Blue grass state of mind. Simple with just enough twists to stay interesting not sure if I will continue the story's.

JBEquines

Good story but..... For me the storyline was good and there were fun characters but I didn't care for the holes in the way it was written. It really bounced from place to place without any explanation in between. I had to backtrack to the last paragraph too often to figure out what I missed and then was irritated when I would realize it was the way it was written and not that I skipped anything.

Panda lovers are better

Bluegrass State of Mind. Engaging, easy read. Good plot. And best of all the location is in my neck of the woods! I love being able to connect with my Bluegrass State! But I already had Danielle connecting with Mo for marriage. Maybe that happens in the next installment?

Giehl

Love the book. Absolutely wonderful series. Can't get enough!!

Tiffany71588

1 star. Boring.

CortforShort

Would not recommend. This book was very boring and I didn't really get to know the characters at all. The plot was dull and there was hardly any climax. Felt more like something written in high school for a class.

Cerm-bet

Bluegrass State of Mind. The storyline hooks you within the first few chapters could put down I’m a fan with be reading this series .

Shelb2345

Bluegrass. Great book

JKS.22

Bluegrass state of mind. Great book. I've read a lot of romance novels and books but this one was hard to put down.

Bassoon writer

One star.... ... was the lowest possible rating I could give this book. I will admit I didn't finish reading the story because of the numerous grammatical errors, not to mention the weak set-up and name dropping.

Montanafilly73

Splendid. Enjoyed this book very much. I love this author’s writing style and the fact that there isn’t any raunchy explicit sex in it. It’s a perfect reading without all that!

MeMyself&I10

Good Story. I liked the story. It had more background and description than anyone really needs, and some the the scenes were a bit unbelievable, but still...... Not to shabby! If the author threw in a sexy love scene here or there, she probably would have had another star added to the rating scale.

Meplusweplusthree

I hate it. Loki

Reader for Fun!

Amazing read!. I loved this book. Didn’t want to put it down. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

(Bzymom)

Southern charm overload. "Bluegrass State of Mind" started off with a bang fell in the middle and picked up at the end. The welcoming of Kenna Mason was believable I have family from the south, however, I did not like Kenna more than once the author made a point to say how she hated being kept in the dark yet she has this huge thing she's running from and doesn't share until confronted with it. I loved the trio of sisters and the rest of the cast. I despise the ending seriously Dani shows up and that's the end, I'm all for selling books but that sucked! I would give it 3.5 stars and even with the faults still recommend it.

KT4VQ

Bluegrass State of Mind. Extremely good book.

Usmcjoe

Good. Read this book while my husband was deployed it was good all but the end.the end could use some work

GeminiDragon0614

Always a pleasure!. I think I found my new favorite romance writer!

HegEggLeg

Plot equally as one dimensional as the characters.. I started reading this because this was something I read a long time ago in the middle of my preteen years. I remembered my admiration for Kenna and my day dreams about meeting a man like Will and living on a ranch in a small town one day. Years later, however, I read this and see everything my prepubescent self didn’t see. I see Kenna, a perfect woman with perfect looks with a perfect personality and the love of everyone in town. I see an unrealistic venue in which a Saudi with no real personality for some reason chose to stay in a small town. Most importantly, I see unrealistic projections of romance and sentences as complex as Kenna’s one dimensional personality. In my opinion, this book was written with absolutely no attention to detail and completely insults the reader’s intelligence. How is it that after meeting a guy for the first time in 17 years, after almost being raped, having your life threatened by a man you loved, and knowing that you’re a witness to such a horrible crime, you suddenly fall in love after, what, one week? I love cliche romances. I’m a firm believer that cliches are cliches for a reason and that’s because they work. However, this book definitely needs improvement in the development of its characters, the realistic setting, the overall plot and the fact that any tension in the story relies on an unrealistically crazy and non-relatable villain, and finally, the overall pacing of the book itself. While I would spend an hour giving a step by step analysis on this entire book, unfortunately rating this book isn’t at the top of my priorities. I do, however, wish the author well and hope that she’s come a long way since this book. To sum up my feelings, this book was an eye sore and a completely disappointing read. Thank you.

CrazyMaedchen

Thank GOD she finally got an editor.... I’ve read all of Kathleen Brooks Keeneston novels, starting with this one. When I first read it, it was so much work - the plot skipped all over the place, the narrator switched repeatedly from first to third person, and from one character to another with no warning. I wanted to keep going because I liked the story, but I nearly gave up because the writing itself was so convoluted. I’m glad I stuck it out, because the series gets better as it goes along. Now, a couple of years later, the book has been revised and edited so that it’s finally put together the way it should be. Kathleen Brooks is a great, if fanciful, storyteller, and this is where it all began.

Cleisk

Loved it!. Loved the book! Loved the series! Loved the spin off Bluegrass Brothers series! Can't wait for the next generation! Kathleen Brooks makes you feel like you're just as much a part of Keeneston, KY as Old Man Tabby and his pig! So download the book, enjoy a tall glass of the Rose Sister's special iced tea and be taken away to the blue grass of Kentucky, where the cowboys are hot, the ladies are strong and the town is hilarious!

MCNikko

Bad crime book. I was going to write a review about what I didn't like about this book. But I'm just tired off it. Too long and it keeps giving you hope that something good was good to happen but nothing. Not sure what so many good reviews.

DRW102

Bluegrass Undercover. Good read

Mintonk92

Phenomenal writing!. I love all of her series! They are so funny and characters are well researched! Excited for more!

Atlz3

Boots. Enjoyable read. Lots of quirky characters, a little bit of mystery and some of steamy romance. Love the "chaperones"!

Ashleygluth

Delightful!. Fun and light hearted!!

Cormayk

Poorly Written. If you can get through the poorly written format with the excessive name dropping and weak plot, then you will probably finish the book. I couldn't. I felt I was reading a story written by a high school student for a creative writing assignment.

NHGirl1

Fun romantic suspense. Loved this wonderfully written book. And Boots was awesome. You will love this book, can't wait to read the rest.

unexpected. Quite a shocker of very descriptive sexual violence. Not enough of the healthier stuff.

Love it. Exciting, funny, and romantic

GrandmaB43++

Bluegrass state of mind. I loved it . Looking forward to the rest.

Altarose58

Good book. I really liked the story in this ebook. My suggestion to the writer would be to limit the use of the word "massive", you had me rolling my eyes at the third time it was used in the same paragraph. Also, it was distracting to keep reading the words "I am" an "I will" instead of "I'm"and "I'll". There are quite a few typos as well. Other than this, it was very well written.

Snowbirdont

Blue Grass State ofMind. Enjoyable "sweet" read.

Supreet123

Bluegrass state of mind. I have read one of your other books and I said it was amazing . This has gone reached my heart . I feel like I'm actually the person because you express their emotions and facial expressions. Your books honestly sometimes makes me wish fantasies were true and that something like that could actually happen to me. I love your books and wish that the actual thing happened to me. I'm honestly jealous of how you can imagine all these things and here I am dreamer. Anyways this book is by far one of the most amazing book I have ever read and I know a lot people would want to read it. Best of luck if your going to write more and punish them -Supreet Chandi If you want to contact me you can reach me at Supreet636@gmail. Com

Bluegrass state of mind. Intriguing story!

Bhd87

Love it!. I love this whole series of books, there's nothing like catching up with old characters and seeing how their stories have panned out, really the book is great and so is the writer 3>

Teamsarge

Great romance suspense. Really enjoyed this romance suspense based in a small country town in Kentucky. Kenna has run from her life in New York after witnessing a disturbing incident and beating threatened. The town has some real characters and everyone rallies around Kenna to help her out. She meets up with old flame Will and makes friends with a Prince. Great light hearted read with some suspense.

Cranky cow

Checky girl

Bluegrass State of Mind. Omg I am so hook with this book, love it love it. We'll done to the author a very good job, diffently recommending to all my friends :)

Loveagreatbook

Great read. I loved this book. Such an easy ready that draws you into the story line.

Blacksorrento

An Easy read. Started off with a great premise, but as the story unfolded it lost its impetus and lacked oomph. Yes it is an easy read. Plausibility has me wondering though if you wanted to hide from powerful men and cover your tracks why in the hell would you attend Derby Day in Kentucky with all the red carpet fanfare, defies logic! Yes I know keep your friends close and enemies closer, even so the story had its entertaining moments, could have been done better. Nothing there to tax the grey matter.

Gran I

Bluegrass State of Mind. First time I have read a book by this Author, it's a brilliant book, kept me hooked from beginning to end, will certainly be reading more books by this author.

Steph Lyne

Laugh out loud funny. I love this book a real good laugh out loud book. A city girl in a small town in Kentucky. Would recommend this book to anyone.

Taylorville86

Amazing. Amazing read! Sucked me right in from the very beginning!! This is a favourite series of mine!!

Cilla :D

Best books I’ve ever read. I’ve been addicted to all of kathleens’ books since I started this one , at the minute I have 23 of her books and I’m not ashamed to say I’ve read many of them multiple times , it has everything from action to comedy and romance . This series and the next would make a wonderful television series that I’m sure would be as loved as her books . She has had me in tears and laughing out loud so many times , can’t wait to continue with the other books I’ve not added yet xxx

Abackshall

Brilliant loved it. Brilliant loved it

SwinhjaUK

Very disappointing!. I'm sorry. I hate giving negative reviews, but after hearing people harp on about this series I was so disappointed. There was far too much detail in my opinion. Every single item of clothing the characters wore was described to a fault. From designer name, colour, fabric etc. with matching shoes. Every room, every landscape, every house and every character, was described fully. I had to skip through those parts as I was really getting bored. When it came to the potentially hot parts, it skipped through them to the next day or whenever. It's a shame cos the storyline itself was a good one. I've read the descriptions of the following books in the series and they sound far too much like this one. I won't be buying anymore. Sorry.

Bethancurtis x

Fabulous. Loved it ! It had it all suspense romance plenty of humour can't wait to read the next two books of the series. Only one fault was the poor editing but soon forgotten as the story was fabulously written

Ncaitlyn

Bluegrass State of Mind. Fabulous book. I have read it twice. Once you start reading them you'll want to read all of them including the brothers stories starting with Bluegrass Undercover. I love Kathleen Brooks' books and can't wait to read Pierce's story.

Krazykelz87

Bluegrass State Of Mind.

Disatisfied and disabused

Wonderful!. Worth paying for. Which as a student is the highest commendation I can think of. I loved it so much I went out and bought the for the second and then the third book in the series. Keep going you will enjoy these characters. They are smart without being superior, and wholesome without being patronizing. Best of all, the author has crafted real chemistry between the protagonists of each book.

NanciD

Love this book!!. If you haven't read Kathleen Brook's books yet, you are in for a real treat. Get ready to meet the craziest, funniest town you will ever find in Kentucky... Keeneston. Bluegrass State of Mind is just the first book in a series I know you will love. Once you get to know McKenna, Will, Daniella, Mo, and the Davies brothers (too hot!) - not to mention the crazy folks who live in Keeneston, you won't want to stop reading until you've read all 3 books in this series and the next 3 in the Bluegrass Brothers series! So, download this book and let the laughter begin.

BDRCOLLIE2470

Great book!. This book was great and kept my interest so much that I'm buying all the rest of them! A must read!

FmosAmos

Phone news

Predictable, yet entertaining. A good read when you want to be able to put the book down for a while, yet return to the storyline quickly. Too much description of clothing.

GhostAdventuresChik

Great!. This book has alittle bit of everything, romance, humor, mystery and suspense. McKenna, a high power NY attorney must flee the city after discovering some damaging evidense against her boyfriend and many of NY's high powered attornys and politicians. she wants to become the assistant District Attorney in small town Keeneston KY and hopes a friend from her youth, Will Ashton can help her.

Baxsquez

Love- Love- Love!!!. What a great book! So looking forward to reading the whole series!!

All the nicknames have been taken

1 star only because I couldn't give it 0. All I can say is that the people who wrote the positive reviews must either be related to the author or are getting paid. The only positive was that I don't have to regret paying for it. Read only if you want to lose a few IQ points.

Autumn1966

Bluegrass State of Mind. Fast read, humorous, some suspense. Loved the McKenna Mason character. Thought the characters of Will and Mo were weak. The Rose sisters are a "hoot". Overall a very entertaining way to pass some time. Looking forward to reading the next books in this series.
