This review is from: Samantha's Irish Luck (Thoroughbred Series #66) (Paperback)

This book was well awaited. Finally a long over due book about why samantha decided to live in Ireland was written. Samantha goes to a B&B in Ireland and loves it there so much she decided to stay. With eventing, show-jumping, and Finn Mcoull (?) she decides life cant be any better in Ireland with Tor. But when a Family emergancy forces them both back to Kentucky, Sammy is torn. Does she spend her life in Ireland with the most fantastic horse ever? Or does she choose her own husband? She goes with Tor, deciding he shouldnt face family matters alone but she has a constant nagging about Finn. She knew he was the perfect horse and she cant get over the fact that he is back in Ireland. Tor wants to surprise sammy since she was so depressed. Can you guess what he did? Yep he bought Finn and moved him to KY. Go figure. All in all this was an over due book and im looking forward to the next :)

I loved samantha's irish luck!! It was a great story(especially if you love horses). It had many exciting climaxes. Whenever i tried to put the book down, i found myself reading another one or two chapters! Should you ever find this story boring, I encourage you to read another chapter. You're sure to find a liking to this book. GREAT JOB JOANNA!! Keep writing more books for this series so we may ALL enjoy you're books for a long time!

3.0 out of 5 stars Sam's Absence Explained. SAVE TB!!, January 14, 2005

This review is from: Samantha's Irish Luck (Thoroughbred Series #66) (Paperback)

I enjoyed this book because of the fact that explained where Same and Tor disappeared to during the huge generation gap. Ireland was described wonderfully and all of the characters there were unique and well rounded. There were quite a few mistakes though, like the glaring fact that Red Rum was a gleding and couldn't have possible had any descendents like Finn. All in all it was a pretty good book that did a good job in satisfying all the questions that many of us loyal readers had.

The reason that the two Samantha books (65, 66) and the Lost Diaries were written was because Harper Collins listened to what the readers wanted and came thought. Now Harper is planning on ending the TB series abruptly after #72. I hope Harper is listening to the readers now! PLEASE SAVE THOROUGHBRED!!
