Phantom Waltz is a story of love and of victory over great obstacles.

The first time wealthy rancher Ryan Kendrick sees Bethany Coulter, he falls in love. She shares his passion for horses and can light up a room with her smile. She is perfect in every way - except a riding accident years ago has confined her to a wheelchair. Bethany is convinced that she will never marry or bear children. Now Ryan wants to change her mind. As Ryan tries to win Bethany's trust and her heart, he must use all his resources to learn how to care for her. Phantom Waltz is a truly heartwarming work that portrays both physical challenges and emotional triumphs.

Critic reviews

"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)

I absolutely love this book. Wasn't sure on it being Audible, First time I have listened to a book. Still not sure if I liked it. I am an Avid reader. I've read all catherine Anderson's books . I think some stories need both sexes telling the story . I'd like to try another of hers I think.

What a book! You never forgot a book that makes you cry and feel gut wrenching emotion. I was sorry to see it end. I stayed up the whole night to complete. Ryan and Bethany had a passionate, all consuming love. You could not help but root for both of them as they work through their many trials and tribulations. Both characters were very likable and the narrations was flawless. I am definitely interested in the rest of the series. .

Unforgettable Gut-wrenching Love Story

A nice change from the usual tense moment made this a little more realistic though, as usual, a little too perfect and contrived.

Good story as always

*****SPOILER ALERT*****

'Phantom Waltz' by Catherine Anderson, book 2 in the Kendrick/Coulter/Harrigan series. Audible Premium Plus audiobook borrow. Three POV (Ryan's, Bethany's, and Sly's). Narrator Julia Gibson did a great job. It's listed as 14 hours 43 minutes. I listened for 5 hours 53 minutes. The ebook table of contents shows 22 chapters and an epilogue, but the audiobook only lists 20 chapters. Content warnings: memories of a barrel racing incident; v¡rg¡n h; h is a paraplegic; struggles associated with life in a wheelchair; memories of a car accident leading to the death of H sister-in-law, niece, and nephew; bear attack; and H father is charged by a bull.

Location: Crystal Falls, Oregon

Ryan Kendrick (30; aka Rye) is a blue eyed, dark haired, wealthy playboy. He is the co-owner of the Rocking K ranch. He breeds and sells quarter horses, has $50 million in the bank, and two bachelor degrees (animal husbandry and agriculture). He has a dog named Tripper and a "pet" bull named T-bone. Bethany Coulter (26) is the youngest of 6 (5 older brothers), has blue eyes, a dimpled chin, freckles, a cat named Cleo, is a painter, and is a three time champion barrel racer. She likes to swim, plays tennis and basketball. She hasn't dated in 8 years. She was injured and became a paraplegic in her 4th competition when Wink, her horse, stepped in a hole. She fell off and Wink came down on her. She received her bachelor degree in computer science. Their love story is heartbreaking and beautiful. Ryan meets Bethany in her family's store, The Works. Ryan falls for Bethany instantly, but has to fight past all of her reservations. Ryan goes out of his way to accommodate her and prove to her family he really loves her. Just after they sneak off to marry each other in their own way, Ryan is attacked by a bear and Bethany helplessly sends his horse for help. As they recover she decides the best thing for Ryan is for her to leave. Ryan is bitter and refuses to go after her. Ryan witnesses his father, Keith, get charged and knocked off his feet by a bull trying to protect Ryan. Ryan realizes the trauma Bethany suffered and goes after her. The epilogue finds Sylvester and Helen married, and Ryan and Bethany married and expecting their first baby. JP

Catherine Anderson can always be counted on to deliver a heart-warming story that really allows the reader/listener to know and care deeply for her characters. That said, I couldn’t help but think this story would have benefited from just a bit of pruning. But the ending delivered a hard-earned sense of completion, and the book opened my mind to aspects of paralysis I hadn’t thought of before.

A tender romance between two strong-willed survivors.
