"I adore this woman's books. Especially these series books that are a continuation of a family. She's a wonderful writer of romance. This book I enjoyed very much. It's light hearted but with few twists that'll make you cringe and others that'll make you laugh out loud. Wonderful book! I can't wait for the next one :)"

— Mey, 12/25/2013" Another great read from Anderson. Her books to me keep getting better and better as time goes on. I guess I am a little biased but I have not read a bad book yet from this author. The love stories are sweet and consuming and there is always an HEA "
— Christel, 12/20/2013" A current day book in the series which sounds an awful lot like one of Anderson's non-series books. Abused wife runs away, ends up in Crystal Falls, gets a job on Harrigan's ranch. Everyone falls in love, women regains strength and sense of self, bad guy returns. "

— JoDee, 12/4/2012" Not a original plot....battered wife fakes death to get away from abusive husband and meets a great man to help her find her self-esteem again. But I like the writing and characters of this series. "
— Pat, 3/24/2012" Kept my interest but the ending was quick and predictable. "

— Amber, 4/18/2011" Although I've never been a romance novel reader, I am currently addicted to this series on the Kendrick/Harrigan family. While there are similar themes, there is always a twist in the plot that keeps me wanting to read more & more. "
