I was so excited to find Seventh Heaven on store shelves again. It was one of the two books of Catherine's I hadn't read yet (Forever After is the other. Well, that and a few of the old out of print/impossible to find ones).

I totally did not see coming the revelation about who had assaulted Marilee and why. Maybe I'm just a little slow to pick up on things, but I felt like I'd been clobbered with a brick at that point (much like Joe felt upon hearing it, I guess).

I loved the book, of course. Anyone else just read it for the first time?

Hope you find the others that you have not read. Keep your eyes open at the used book stores and you may find them one day....or they may all get reissued.

I found an original copy of Comanche Moon last week at Goodwill. It seemed so weird to see it with a "traditional" historical romance cover - you know, scantily clad couple on horseback. It just didn't fit with my image of the book at all. I'm glad the trend has moved away from that sort of cover.

Catherine's covers are very classy i think and i like the fact theres really two covers as a picture in on the second cover if you get my meaning?

I found almost all the Comanche series in used book stores...Indigo I got from ebay or amazon, but I didn't pay the high prices they were asking for them.

I have everyone one of CA's books, most originals too! I spend several years looking for them all. And as they get re-issured, I buy the new ones...but don't read them as I then order them for my Kindle! CA's books have taken over my bookshelf!

I cannot rememnber those stories perfectly now as it is the coulters i am a huge fan of. And of course Ace Keegan and his clan.

Simply Love was great because of the idea of someone who had been submerged in the worst this world can offer through birth and circumstance, being able to heal and come back into the light. Women really can influence a family and husband to greater spirituality simply through love. Luke certainly had some divine potential and he definitely turned into a CA hero. "Simply Love" was one of the rare books that when I am done reading it--I go back and read it again!

For me, what sets Catherine's books apart from those of many other authors is that even if it's not my favorite, I never get bored reading. I've never been halfway through and walked away from one or struggled to finish it. It is still a page-turner and she always keeps me hanging on to see how it ends.

There have been times when I started out not liking a book, and ended up loving it. Simply Love is one of those. Through most of the book, Luke seemed like a horrible guy and I wondered if this was the same Catherine who created so many other terrific heroes. But in the end, I thought Luke did redeem himself and show the true goodness inside of him.
