Here to Stay: A Harrigan Family Novel Audiobook

" I really liked this book! Interesting subject and believable characters. "

" 3.5-4* Liked the characters but thought the plot was rather far fetched. Will go on the shelf to round out the series but not sure I will be rereading it much. "

" I just love this series. Usually her books include a handicapped character which I find so interesting because sometimes it seems like everyone in a romance novel is the perfect height, weight, chiseled, etc. etc. It is easier to relate to these characters because the author doesn't expect you to think they are perfect. This book has some descriptions of past physical abuse which I don't usually read but the author handled it very well, letting you feel the pain of the past without going into too much detail. "

" Catherine Anderson has written another wonderful entry where our protagonists have to overcome their own issues/shortcomings to find their way. "

" I will always be a sucker for the Kendrick/Coulter/Harrigan families! "

" Light sweet read with some serious messages. It took Zach and Mandy to grow on me, but eventually the did and I was able to enjoy the ride. "

" This story was a little drawn out, but I did enjoy it.... "

" What I liked: Reading about characters that had some serious issues to overcome and did overcome them. I appreciated the similarities between Tornado's (a stallion) and the heroine Mandy's extreme emotions and reactions. I am aware of equine therapy for people. Meaning horses can help heal and help a person to face thier issues. And this touched on that (I would have liked it to be explored a little more and seen further interaction between Tornado and Mandy but that kind of dwindled after the first part of it) I also like that it brings attention to the suitablity of Miniature Horses as guide animals and the need for education along these lines to get the law changed to allow for horses to be accepted as such. "

" I had never considered the possibility of training mini horses to lead the blind. Some of the relationships were anticipated, but there were unexpected twists in the story. "

" I really enjoyed this book in the Harrigan series. Loved all the information about horses, including mini service horses. "

" I had to force myself to finish this one. "

" Intrstg layrd stry of trust, abuse, mrdr, abndnmnt all around a mini guide horse "

" Interesting, but didn't make me want to stay up all night to finish it. "

" Catherine always write the "I can't put it down book". Some tears but an ending we all wish for "Happy ever after" "

" I love the Harrigan and Coulter families... :) "

" I loved this story! I hope this isn't the end of the series :( "

" This story features miniature guide horses which I had never heard of before and made this ongoing family saga romance interesting. "

" Not one of her best but still worth reading. "

" I liked this story. Mandy is a strong woman, taking care of her blind younger brother for most of her life, especially from their abusive father. They meet a rancher who is training a minature horse as a guide for the blind. It comes together with a troubled horse, and a murdered mother. "

" Two stars, plus one extra for the cuteness of Rosebud. "

" I rolled my eyes way too many times while reading this book, but I liked the stuff about the horses. "

" It's my first book by Anderson and I enjoyed it very much. The characters sister & blind brother who were abused and a handsome hunk who'd been brought up in loved happy home. Loved the reality of it all and a bit of psychological outlook of dealing with past. Very good read. "

" Nice simple romance with a interesting back story of mini horses being trained as guides for the blind. "

" Standard C.A. Fiction. I agree with some reviewers that it feels like her reading is getting a little sloppy and rushed. Miss some of that romantic build up! "

" A call to action posing as a contemporary romance. If you care about service animals for the disabled, especially mini-horses for the blind, this is your manifesto! Otherwise, skip it. "

" book #26 for the year and #1 for February. :) "

" A love story in the truest sense. Suspenseful, hopeful. "

" It was an emotional heartwarming read... "

" I thought this was a good book, but it wasn't a great book. I enjoyed that it had a lot of horses in it, and the characters were developed well, it just wasn't a book you couldn't put down once you picked it up. "

" I will always be a sucker for the Kendrick/Coulter/Harrigan families! "

" The language seems more fit for a historical western instead of a contemporary western, but I mostly overlooked it. This seemed a bit darker than most of Catherine Anderson's books, and there were more sex scenes in it. It was still an enjoyable story. "

" A well-written story with interesting characters you can't help but root for. I enjoyed this book. "

" Heroine has a blind brother that that she feels responsible for. She is his caretaker and enables him and that causes her to be stuck. Zack is the hero and he works with horses and helps heroine gain independence and love. A rather weak story. "

" She is one of my favorite authors but this book was so annoying at times and the romance was almost nonexistent. Hopefully her next will be better. "

" Catherine Anderson just keeps getting better and better. This is one of the best ever series. This book was just so AWESOME!!! I hated to have to put it down when it ended. Hated to see it end! Wanted to give it more than only 5 measly stars. "

" It was a good read just thought it should have focused on the romance more instead of the brother sister relationship ... "

" Enjoyed the book. Loved Zak!! "

" There were a few issues with the characters that kept this just short of a 4 star for me. The plot was different and involved enough to keep me interested. You have to push through the character flaws during a few parts, especially in the beginning, but overall a good read. "

" One of my all time favorites! I love horses, romance and a bit of mystery and this book has plenty of each. I have always been interested in mini horses as guide animals and I feel this book really told a great story about this issue.<br/><br/>Light reading, but what I love! "
