Kelsey Byden grew up believing her mother had died when she was three. Now at twenty-six and freshly divorced, she receives a letter from her mother explaining that she is alive and living on a Virginia horse farm. Deeply strung by lies told to protect her, Kelsey takes her anger out at her college professor father by going to visit her mother, who Kelsey learns spent over ten years in prison for murder.But there are more secrets to be found out and Kelsey decides to stay at her mother's splendid horse farm where she falls in love with horses and the man next door, handsome gambler Gabe Slater. When murdered men and injured horses turn up, Kelsey finds evil lurking where she least expects it, and risks all to restore her mother's honor.
takes horse-racing, Romance, mystery, broken family issues, betrayals and combines it all into one. I recommened this book to my mother who absolutely loved this book.

True Betrayals was an exciting story with lots of romance and suspense. One of Roberts' best. It gave me an interesting look into the world of horse racing and an intriguing romance between Gabe Slater and Kelsey Byden and I am a sucker for a good romance. I have a tendency to enjoy her older work more than her current work and right now I'm reading Sacred Sins which has Ben Paris, who is maybe a bit more of a handful than Slater. All in all, a good read. One that's hard to put down.
Bravo Nora.

A wonderful story and mystery about a young girl named Kelsey who finds her mother and meets wonderful gambler named Gabe who is not as bad as he seems. I was surprised at the ending of this book,I was expecting the villian to be who they were. Excellent characters and action,suspense and also I fell in love with a few of the horses that were talked about. Nora, would you write a sequel about Kelsey and Gabe. Love this book. I will be reading more Nora books.

LOVED IT ! What a great story. Gabe and Kelsey are great together. Both strong and gentle. Suspenseful to the very end. This story has it all, passions that sizzles, suspense that hold you and characters that make to you love them or HATE them, there is no in between. Read it and try to put it down.
Nora Roberts knows her horses

I just finished reading True Betrayals and then went and purchased two more of Nora Roberts books. The lady just keeps you wanting to read more and more. Where she gets her wealth of information is a wonder, but she certainly does a fine job. I have yet to read one of her books that I haven't loved. This one fell right in line. If the writer doesn't cry, the reader probably won't either. I wonder if these books get to her in that way. I hope she never quits. I will pass this book on to my reading friends.
