Thoroughbred #65: Bridal Dreams

by Mary Newhall Anderson

Book Overview

While cleaning out the spare bedroom at Whisperwood in preparation for the expected baby, Samantha and Tor come across their wedding album, stored away since their return from Ireland several years before. They settle down to relive the events that led up to their day, and we slip back twelve years in time. When Samantha and Tor decide to marry, Samantha starts planning the most glorious wedding Kentucky has ever see. But as the date nears, disaster follows disaster, forcing the plans aside. A barn fire at Whisperwood, Tor's family's farm; a nasty wreck on the track that puts Ashleigh in the hospital; Samantha is starting to think that she and Tor aren't supposed to get married. Finally it looks like things are going right, but just a few days before the wedding, she and Tor find a horse in need of rescuing, and they spend the money set aside for the wedding and their honeymoon to save the animal. Samantha accepts the fact that there isn't going to be any fabulous ceremony, until Ashleigh steps in and offers Whitebrook for the wedding. In the end, Tor and Samantha have their wedding on horseback at Whitebrook, with all the special touches to make it the most wonderful day of Samantha's life. Ages 13+

MY FAV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE IT!!IT'S MY ALL TIME FAV!!!!!!!!!!I LOVE IT THAT IT TOLD WHAT HABNED TOI SAMMY,TOR,AND MAX!AND HOW SAMMY AND TOR GOT MARRIED!

Ugh..

I gave it 4 stars only 'cause it's Sam and Tor. And they are amazing!!!But I find something really dumb. The "Are Sam and Tor ever going to get married?" Hello?!?!??! It's obvious that they are married unless they really aren't..but whatever. It brings back the old times..and I like those

Clears a lot of stuff up

The plot in this book isnt much only deserving 2 or 3 stars, but the reason i gave it 4 was becuz it clears a lot up about old characters such as what ever happened to max? or mandy? or maureen and yvonne? len? Plus you find out why samantha dissapeared to ireland and started eventing.Basically the tale of Samantha's wedding, but worth it to find out about characters that disapeared.

Bridal Dreams

Finally! some things are finally explained! This book was great because i finally know the story behind why Samantha packed up and left for Ireland without a word. WHY DIDNT THEY JUST SAY THEY WERE GETTING MARRIED AND THATS WHERE THEIR HONEYMOON WAS?!?!?!?! all this time i thought Sammy was tired of KY so she just left. Another positve to this book was it explains about Tor and sammy's wedding (i thought it was going to go sometihng like they ARE getting married. that would have made me mad b/c in other books it said they were ALREADY married. Phew!)this book is worth reading. It filled me in all these years. and they talked about what happened to some other characters too. THANK YOU!

great book!!!!!!!!

i love all of the Thoroughbred books, so i couldn't wait for this book to come out! it was great! i've missed being in Samantha's shoes and it was great to go back in time and learn some things that have been anonymous for so long. i read this book in like 3 hours it was so good! i hope everybody loves this book as much as i did!!!
