Forever After

Catherine Anderson has a way with words. She keeps your interest peeked through the whole book. I can't wait for the sequel. She leaves you wanting more. Forever After is a book I can read over and over and still get excited about the characters and plot each time.Wish it was a movie...:)

What a rare treasure full of suspense, romance, mystery, loyalty, and heroism! This book is more than a romance novel. It is an exquisite story of love between broken people and a dog that heals their wounds. The adventures that befall them will take you on a breathtaking journey full of laughter, sweetness, pain, and love. This definitely is a page turner!

Not only does Catherine Anderson do a great job creating wonderful characters and a very moving love story, but she also tells a great tale. She has a particular talent for creating great heroes that seem like ordinary guys, but when it comes time to protect or defend their mates, they show an amazing depth of caring and commitment without turning all wishy-washy. Heath Masters is a perfect example. "Forever After" is about Meredith and her daughter, Sammy, who are in hiding from some shady characters from their past. They happen to move next to Heath, a very sexy small town sheriff, and his dog. Meredith's stringent refusal to accept his neighborly advances only whet Heath's curiosity. Little does he know that Meredith and Sammy are going to lead his life in all sorts of unexpected directions. The rest of the story is so good that I don't want to give it away, so just do yourself a favor and read this book!

FOREVER AFTER is a wonderfully written story. The characters are so real that you are pulled into their lives as you read. Meredith and Heath are two people who eventually grow to understand each other as they finally confess their secrets; however, the brightest stars in this book are Sammy and Goliath, child and dog, but not just any dog he's a retired canine cop with numerous accomodations. The love that develops between them is truly a heavenly match. Sammy will have you laughing out loud with some of the things that she says. The life that she has suffered prior really lets you know that children can be strong individuals. I hope that a sequel may be in the works for Sammy after she grows up. This book truly is enjoyable. So relax and enjoy.

Catherine Anderson's obvious intelligence and sensitivity comes through in this tale of a desparate-but-strong mother, her precocious-but-withdrawn child, a big-hearted Rottweiler, and a strong-and-sensitive sheriff. I loved many of the scenes, especially the one of Goliath, the Rottweiler, sleeping on his back in the bathtub, and the classic scene of the daughter washing the sheriff's mouth out with soap (their agreement if he continued using cuss words). I enjoy Ms. Anderson's well-crafted writing, and love her stories. This is the first contemporary of her's I have encountered, but I hope it is not the last!
