"I have read, re-read, and re-read this book again. The fact that Bethany is such a strong willed woman is in and of itself a great thread to tug, but then along comes Ryan Harrigan, and between him and his family, I was overwhelmed. I wanted to meet these people. I think Ms Anderson did a Wonderful job depicting a woman who was disabled, and found in Ryan, just the hero needed to make Bethany take a chance to love again."

" All I can say is: what a beautiful story. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I read a lot of books - this one is definitely in my top 5. "
— Lili, 2/7/2014" Fascinating characters. A good book that shows , faith, family values and camaraderie. "
— CASI, 2/2/2014" What a wonderful storyline. The reader is introduced to a subject that we are all probably curious about but have never really delved into finding out. There's plenty of thought provoking tender scenes between the two lovers. There are issues and some are quite interestingly handled. There's even some really cute comic relief. "
— Patricia, 1/26/2014" Lots of research to make the heroine a real person with a disability. I like her characters as they are often people with problems that must be overcome. "
— Elsie, 1/25/2014" One and Only. "
— Iin, 1/20/2014" This was a great book! The author tackled a tough issue, and did it justice. She didn't gloss over the tough parts of what it would be like to marry a parapelegic, but dealt with it well. "
— Michelle, 1/18/2014" Catherine Anderson is my favorite author, hands down. The thing that makes her books stand out to me is that her women are REAL! There's no incredibly unreal beauty that blinds a man, there is real women with real problems. "
— Heather, 11/18/2013" My second favorite Coulter series book, first in the series overall. myst read! "
— Destiny, 10/22/2013" Maravilhoso :) "
— Vera, 9/23/2013" I see. A brush-off. A very sweet one, but a brush-off all the same. "
— *tarazza, 8/18/2013" Catherine Anderson gets me (nearly) every time. "
— Amanda, 7/17/2013" It was a good book but somehow I found it lacking in some areas compared to some of her other books such as Cherish and Simply Love. Overall though, it was a good read. "
— Lulu, 5/11/2013" Got kinda boring at the end but good read not as quick as book 1 "

— Jana, 11/26/2011" This book is so great! I love Catherine Anderson. She is a great author. This is number two in a series. "
— Jan, 11/8/2010" I've liked this whole series with Sweet Nothings being my favorite. I did not read these in order and I wish I had but they are okay out of order. I've think the only one I have left is Baby Love (number 1?). I like this author. "
— Maggie, 7/13/2010" I liked the parapalegic aspect, but thought the book was over 100 pages too long. "
— Emily, 9/19/2009" Tends to drag in places, but still a good, realistic peek into the life of a paraplegic and the man who loves her. "
— Regina, 2/19/2009" Thoroughly unimpressed. Wheelchair-bound and a cowboy. Interesting premise, dull read. "
