Summary: Cherish
Comment: Rebecca Morgan goes into shock when her family is murdered in front of her. Race Spencer comes to her rescue and thinks she looks like an angel. He takes care of her in her while she is in need of protection and he soon falls in love with her. The story moves fast. It's funny despite all the bad things that happen. The characters are endearing and likeable. Rebecca seems is so afraid, but Race helps her to become a stronger person. They help each other to become stronger people. The ending was good. There's a nice epilogue, too.
Rating: 5
Summary: A love story to cherish.
Comment: Catherine Anderson writes romances that are so powerful and finely nuanced that they transcend their genre (not that I'm knocking romances!), and this book is no exception. It is the story of Rebecca Morgan, a member of devout religious sect that firmly believes in non-violence and is traveling across the wilderness to settle in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Along the way they are attacked by a band of outlaws that brutal murder and rape all of the sect except Rebecca. She is rescued by Race Spencer, a poorly educated former gunslinger. The two could not be more different. She is very educated and refined whereas Race grew up in the worst sort of circumstances and has never had an opportunity to go to school or enjoy any other civilized amenities. Nevertheless, he is obviously very wise in the ways of the world and incredibly compassionate. He is immediately attracted to Rebecca but recognizes not only that they are from completely different worlds but also that Rebecca has grown unhealthly dependent upon him after her recent trama.
In any other book Race's mangled English would have driven me crazy, but Anderson does such a fine job of portraying Race's very practical common sense and understanding that it wasn't a distraction. In fact, I could appreciate the humor in Race and Rebecca's frequent misunderstandings. Rebecca's emotional fragility and irrational fears could be frustrating, but they are so realistic that they ring true. This is an unusual story, but one that most readers will really enjoy.
Rating: 2
Summary: Incredibly depressing read
Comment: This book is a real downer, and the heroine is a dependent weakling. Anderson is a talented writer who just needs a different plot.
