Set in a Colorado mining town during the 19th century, this romance brings together a truly naive heroine with the ultimate bad boy hero. If Cassandra was any more naive, she might even be simple, but it is "simply" her love that defines new meaning for Luke Taggart, a tough, impossible man of the world who is almost beyond redemption. This story is deeply emotionally satisfying, although you will not find any surprises in it. Product Description: Even the hardest heart can be softened by love ... Cassandra Zerek is a true innocent in a wild and dangerous place -- but her indomitable spirit and gentle soul make her stronger than anyone suspects. The owner of a Colorado mining empire, Luke Taggart's wealth and position can buy him anything, yet he has grown bored with a life of saloons, gambling, and loose women. Nothing soothes his restless inner yearning -- until he spies Cassandra, as fresh and pure as a spring morning, and vows he will possess her. The radiant, charmingly naïve young beauty seems blind to the depth of Luke's desire or the lengths he is willing to go to seduce her. But the lady is wise, with an unwavering faith in the magical powers of love. And she's determined to awaken the good man hiding in Luke's tormented heart, for only one precious gift will truly win her: his deep, passionate, and unsullied love. Average Rating:
 Rating: - RedemptionAfter having read some of the reviews on here, and having read the book and liking it, I feel compelled to offer my two cents. First of all, this is not the usual Catherine Anderson book; in her other books, I loved the heroes from the beginning, in this one it took me a while to warm up to Luke Taggart, but by the end I found myself liking him a lot. Luke Taggart is a business man, he is ruthless. He cares for nothing and no one but himself. Though given his background, it is understandable. ... Read More Rating:  - Not Your Usual Catherine AndersonOkay I am a HUGE Catherine Anderson fan but this book just wasn't as good as her other books that I have read. It was very slow in my opinion through out the entire thing. There were too many details and not enough action. I'm not going to stop reading her because I know she redeems herself in later works but if I had to rate this book I'd only give it 3 stars. COME ON CATHERINE YOU CAN DO BETTER!!! Rating:  - Awful leading man. And I do mean awful!I read the reviews for this book which were on Amazon at the time I purchased it and most seemed to be positive. I had never read any other book by Catherine Anderson so I figured I would give this a try. Somehow it got pushed aside and I lost track of it for over a year. In the meantime I read her short story SHOTGUN BRIDE in the anthology Tall, Dark and Dangerous and absolutely loved it. I went searching among my book stacks for this book. What a huge disappointment. Luke, our hero, was ... Read More Rating:  - pretty badi generally like books by catherine anderson, but this book was a definate exception. I don't understand how my rating is so different than everyone elses, maybe we were reading different books. the basic plot line is that the extremely wealthy luke meets cassie and decides he wants her and nothing will get in his way. luke is a decietful selfish man, and cassie is an extremely (as in dangerously, shouldn't be allowed to cross the street on her own) naive innocent. i found luke's actions through ... Read More Rating:  - Simply WonderfulThis is one of Anderson's best! I won't write yet another summary but instead point out the books more exceptional qualities. Rather than just telling the reader that the hero is depraved, the author shows just how flawed he is. This only serves to make his redemption more powerful. Luke is one of the more comlpex and interesting heroes I've come across lately. While the herione is exceptionally naive, the author does a good job of explaining why she is this way and why it was necessary for her to be raised as such. ... Read More
