"Although some readers may be hesitant to read a romance involving such a major physical disability, Anderson makes it not only plausible (with seemingly good research to back her story up) but romantic through and through." (Publishers Weekly)
"Anderson comes up with another winner by deftly blending sweetness and sensuality in a poignantly written story that proves true love can overcome any boundary." (Booklist)
"Lovely"
A lovely story if you just want to listen to LOVE. Nothing more and nothing less. I have enjoyed it after listening to a few very heavy books. This one was Pure Relaxation.
The voice of the Narrator just belongs to story, a great combination.
"Beautiful & Heartwarming Story!"
Catherine Anderson has a special way of making you fall in love with her characters. Each story is written so well and with such amazing detail. I love the way she moves the story along, not spending too much time on the insignificant situations and really elaborating on all the special ones. The Kendrick/Coulter Series is one of my most favorites of all time!
AudibleBook lover!!
"SWEETNESS!!!!"
Sweet and pure! This is the right book to listen after a hard day , so romantic and peaceful that you could listen all night long. The narrator only makes it more enjoyable, just the perfect voice for the storie. If you are looking for something to relax your mind it is the one.
Ryan is just that kind of man that every woman wants for a husband, he moves earth and heaven to make Bethania's life wonderful, even having such a major physical disability.
"the overly-clinical details were a major turn-off"
I enjoy Catherine Anderson's stories, and will read others; but I stopped listening to this one a little over half-way through. Why? The 'love scenes' became so clinical, you'd think that her gynecologist was talking to her instead of her lover. If I wanted a textbook, I would have ordered one. The general story idea is excellent; but I honestly believe it could have been handled much better.
If the author had made the story less clinical, I would have at least finished it.
"WOW"
YES This is such a sweet love story and how 2 people learn to live with adversity.
When she was able to ride her horse again to feel somewhat normal.
No.
Would have liked to had that much time in one sitting.
Great read that had all the human emotions involved in a couple finding happiness.
"Sweet love story"
This was a sweet love story. It's one of those stories that just makes you feel good.
"Phantom Waltz"
Wonderful story. Catherine Anderson's books are always beautifully written. This story does not disappoint!!
"A very nice romance"
This story will all of you who love a very good lovestory with ordinary people enjoy to the fullest. I found the hero to be the most adorable man and his lady a shy, romantic girl who life so fare hadn't been very good to. I listened to the book all in one go, and thankfully it was a Saturday :-)
"Entertaining"
If you enjoy CA books, you will enjoy this one as well.
