Yet another fabulous book by Catherine Anderson. Rebecca is the only survivor of an attack on her traveling family to Santa Fe. She witnesses many ungodly acts and goes into shock then is discovered and rescued by Race Spencer. Race falls in love on sight and vows to protect Rebecca no matter what the cost. This is a wonderful story that makes you feel as if you are experiencing it yourself. Catherine is my favorite author...her stories are perfectly told and they suck you right in. Fabulous Book!!

Cherish tells a very special kind of story.The book's overview describes pay Rebecca as the Angel. However, I view Race as the Angel. He rescued Rebecca when she was in distress. He displayed sensitivity, and patience despite her ingrained inhibitions. He fell in love with her and was ready to die for her. His past history as a gunslinger enabled him and prepared him with the diligence, fortitude, and honor necessary to secure their future.
This is an earlier Catherine Anderson that I missed. It's a very enjoyable read.

A little dated, but a good read. I absolutely LOVED the hero of this book!
Again another good book by Anderson.
Loneliness can be bitter to swallow for a former gunslinger who has turned respectable in someways still makes people wonder if he is trustworthy well written story of love.
I love this book! Its a keeper. One of a few books I've read more than once.
she is one of my fav authors. very good book
Another great book by Catherine Anderson. This story in based back in the mid 1800's in Colorado. It is a story of a Quaker girl who is the sole surviver of an attack on the wagon train she is in as her Quaker Community leave one settlement to start a new settlement in Santa Fe. Although it is a love story, there is also a mystery to the story as well. Great read and wonderful story of friendship and honesty from the man who finds, rescues, and protects her through the journey of finding her Quaker Community. A great western read.
One of her older westerns, but did enjoy it!
While scouting for a cattle drive, Race Spencer comes across the massacre of a wagon train. The only survivor, Rebecca Morgan, is in shock. Learning that she was part of a religious sect who were moving to New Mexico, Race cannot understand the motivation for murdering these people. But when a gang of gunfighters begin following Race and Rebecca, she admits that her family was carrying a lot of money and the gang was searching for the money. Now they must retrieve the money and outrun the outlaws and their guns.
This 378-page historical romance could have easily been cut in half if there wasn't so much description and introspection. We had page after page of description of the heroine's beautiful blonde hair, the never-ending gunfight, and a cattle stampede. I hated Rebecca continually blaming herself for everything that has happened and crying every ten pages. The story itself was okay. It probably would have made a good novella if there hadn't been so much filler. My rating: 2 Stars.

A western romance. A good read.
ANY STORY BY CATHERINE ANDERSON IS ALWAYS GREAT
This story starts out with two polar opposites: Rebecca Morgan has lived in a cloistered environment of like-minded religious people and Race Spencer is an uneducated former gunslinger, afraid of little or nothing.
They meet after robbers have attacked and killed all of the religious folks except Rebecca (who ran away and hid). Saving Rebecca will come back and bite Race because now the robbers are determined to kill and maim until they get Rebecca's money. More than 1/2 of Race's cattle are killed and then the robbers start to pick off Race's employees.
After a slow start, this novel picks up momentum as Race and Rebecca find common ground. There were a couple of things that didn't ring true, but otherwise, this is a unique story that keeps the reader turning the pages.
