This book was one of my favorites. But I don't get it, in book #50 it was Rolex now Lyssa's training for Rolex. What's up with that? Even though it didn't make sense this book grabbed me from the start. I read the whole thing the afternoon I got it. This is a great book if you like danger and exeitment and you don't mind a little confusion (about Rolex) than this book's for you.

How did this fit in with the series?

On the cover, Blue (or so I think it's Blue) is seen as being well formed and rather attractive. This is NOT how he is portrayed in the book.
Unfortunately, this book has nothing to do with the rest of the Thoroughbred series, and there is no connection, unless you count Lyssa thinking about Parker and Christina. Lyssa is chasing after a stolen horse, but it ends up the way most books end up- Lyssa ends up liking the thief.
In this book it is revealed that Mitch, the cowhand, actually has a girlfriend, so he and Lyssa won't be getting together anytime soon, unlike what most people thought no thanks to Star's Chance.
This book gets unrealistic like all the TB series- Tony Ransom, the thief, leads Mystic, a lame mare, up a mountain. No no no, this would most definitely not happen in real life. A lame horse could barely walk three meters without being in pain. Lyssa also rides Blue up and down a mountain- big no no. I am an eventer, and I know for a fact that riding a horse up and down a mountain can lead to a serious risk of fracturing a bone or nerve. Lyssa, an eventing pro, should know better than to endanger Blue.
So all in all, its a pretty good read, but watch out for the things that you know aren't true.

what happened to racing? is this before cassidy moved to kentucky? or is it after? help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee. i don't get it

This book was gr8 but just another book to stall for the KY Derby. I loved it. I am ready for the KY Derby tho. It looks like Image is going to win. Anyway about the book she finds some stolen horses and a boy who has stolen them from this mean old woman.That is all im going to tell u tho.Hope u enjoy it like i did!

this book is about Lyssa Hynde, an eventer who lives on a ranch with her family in Wyoming. One day when Lyssa is out Riding her horse Blue, she sees some hoofprints in the snow. She decides to follow them and is lead to the school where she meets a mysterious guy who tells her to get lost. Lyssa gets curious about who the guy is and what hes doing so she decides to follow him up the mountain. But while she is up their she sets off an avalanche which heads staight for her ranch. Will lyssa get home in time to warn her family and will she find out what the mysterious stranger is up to? Read to find out.
I think this book is great and very well written. A MUST read for all horse lovers. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it was written after TB #50 but set before it.

The book really doesn't fit the series. In book 50, the Rolex Kentucky 3-Day Ride was held. The next week is (in real life) the Derby, but in the next 4 books, no Derby. Now we have winter in Montana? It's out of sync. Save your money, I'd say this book is one better left at the bookstore.

This book was a pretty good, but it just didnt fit with the series... Honestly... I really had very little interest in reading about a stolen horse, but the author must have written it for a reason, so maybe it ties in later. Not what you would expect in this series, but not a disaster...
