Wow, and wow again! This author is fabulous. With the high cost of books these days, I never buy books brand new - except for ones by this author. Then I rush to the bookstore as soon as they're released. Not once has this author let me down. Every single one of her books have been keepers.

This book was just wonderful. I devoured it in a weekend. I just couldn't put it down. This author has once again made wonderful characters that jump immediately into your heart and stay there. They were both loveable. He had his rough spots, but was basically a good guy--none of that domineering male garbage that you find so often in romance novels today. And while she was a woman imprisoned by fear, she was still a strong, couragous person, not a little mouse that you want to smack some sense into. (And, contrary to what most authors do with sheltered heroines, this one did not turn into a slut!) Not many authors could handle the issue of agoraphobia so well, but this one did it without being too preachy or silly.

A man finds a diary of his ancestors in a dusty attic and delves into their story: in 1889 Rachel Hollister has secluded herself away from the world after her family is brutallly murdered. Fearful of contact with the outside world with no one to help her, she has no choice but to accept the help of a man who tries to help her overcome her fears, one small step at a time, and by trying to find the murderer of her family. Good story. Entertaining.

Beautiful love story. It is too bad that we can't always remember to treat the ones we care about with as much understanding as Joseph does with Rachel.

This was a great book, kept your intrest til the very end, couldn't put it down. The year is 1889 and Racheal hasn't set foot outside her home in five years. Ever since a savangage attack left her family dead, she's cordoned herself off from the outside world, afraid to let anyone on her doorstep, and suddenly she has no choice but to let a handsome rancher invade her well guarded excistence.
Things build from there from fear to love to a miracle. It is greatly written love story of all times.

This book is a fantastic end to the story that began with Keegan's Lady. I enjoyed this book and was pleased that it had such an awesome ending. This was the first series by Anderson that I've read but I will be reading more by her. I highly recommend this series.

Catherine Anderson writes like a dream, and Summer Breeze is no exception. This novel will have you laughing and crying from beginning to end, especially at the end-no doubt about it. The two main characters Joseph and rachel shared the kind of love that is only a myth in this century.
I recommend anything by this author. This book is definitely a keeper, which is why it pains me to let it go.

Racheal and Joseph have a natural bonding once he breaks down her past nightmares of her childhood.
Joseph brings many miracles into Racheal's life. They had a unique kind of love you don't
see in this time of our lives.

This was the first book that I seriously could NOT put down and I was so caught up in the story that I finished it at 3:15am! What a wonderful storyline and not your "typical" romance novel - I wanted to find out what happened at the end so bad that I just flew through the book. Plus it was set back in time - the 1880's and I just love history. But you couldn't tell it was set back in that time based on what the characters did and what they talked about, same ol' stuff as today. One of the best books I've read yet! Love this author!
