Narration Concering Books Here to Stay (Kendrick/Coulter/Harrigan #10)
CATHERINE ANDERSON WILL TOUCH YOUR EMOTIONS WITH THE NEXT CONTEMPORARY STORY IN HER HARRIGAN FAMILY SERIES. Mandy Pajeck had a tough childhood --- an abusive father, a mother who left, and a younger brother, Luke, who depended on her when she was just a child herself. Now twenty-eight, Mandy remains devoted to Luke and feels responsible for the accident that took his sight. But his complete reliance on her care is making them both miserable. When she meets handsome Zach Harrigan and his mini guide horse, she thinks she's found the ticket to her brother's happiness --- and maybe her own. Of the five Harrigan siblings, Zach is the hellion who parties hard and takes nothing seriously. But lately his life has felt empty. So, employing his skills as a horseman, he begins training a mini guide horse for the blind, never expecting that the project will lead him to beautiful, tenderhearted Mandy. She's everything he's ever wanted in a woman. But though she's charmed by Zach's patience and compassion, she can't bring herself to fully trust him. And when Zach urges her to confront the truth about her mother's disappearance, the secrets they uncover are so shocking that even Zach's steadfast devotion may not be enough to win Mandy's heart.

You know what? I really enjoyed this book. Even though there wasn't much romance (not until page 366), and the heroine (28 year old Mandy Pajeck) sometimes frustrated me, and the heroine's 19 year old brother (Luke) started out as an unlikable spoiled brat/baby...there was just something compelling about this book. Obviously a lot of it has to do with Catherine Anderson's skills as a writer--her ability to tell a well rounded, interesting story is first rate. And it also helps to have aMy least favorite Anderson book. I'm really disappointed because I ususally love her books and had high expectations. It was wonderfully written but it was a very slow start to the romance which finally started around page 126. However, I did learn a lot about mini horses and colic, unfortunately I learned more than was necessary for me to support the issues which I'm sure is what Anderson was trying to push. I wish she would have spent more time with the romance and less time on the horse.
Read more like a General Fiction book than a Romance Book. Story was more focused on the relationship of the heroine and her 19 year old blind brother than it was on the heroine and the hero. Am really sad to say that as I used to love Catherine Anderson's books but the last few have just not done it for me. Find them boring at times and the romance between the characters taking a back seat to whatever "issues" are going on in the book.Also, not that I have anything against praying but I noticed
I didn't find this book boring at all. The scenes between Luke and Mandy never made me brain-dead. Indeed, I tried to understand each character's sides instead of searching too much for romance between Zach and Mandy. Because in a love story,there couldn't be romance all the time in a page. The author also talks about the other characters and at the same time, keep it moving. And I don't agree that nothing romantic happened between the hero and the heroine not until page 366. Romance isn't just
OMG. I loved this book. It made me really emotional. Content warnings: death, disability, child abuse, animal abuse (off page but deals with an animal that has been abused). One of the things I love about Catherine Anderson's novels is how she makes such great characters. Things aren't always as they seem and people are more complex than what is shown. That is definitely the case with Mandy. Catherine Anderson's books are enjoyable as a whole. She takes you a journey and you definitely have to
She is a great writer and have thoroughly enjoyed all her books to date. There is mystery, romance, historical reference, and adventure. What more could you ask for? I love the whole family series. I just wish I could read them in sequence. Oh Well. I just wish I could ready them all in sequence. Oh well.
Bought this book because it was ...duh...Catherine Anderson. When I started reading it, I just fell into the story. I don't think I stopped reading it...just sat there on the couch and read until I my eyes wouldn't stay open. The Horse, The boy, and the trainer...oh my, how many times can a person's heart get stolen?!?! The transformation for Luke was very poignant, and extremely believable. There were a lot of tears shed over this book.
