wonderful

This book follows on the heels of Comanche Moon.

It is a book that you are sorry to hear it come to an end.

Better to read this one than to listen, I think

Like its predecessor, Commanche Moon, I enjoyed this tale woven by Catherine Anderson. There were definitely moments of eye rolling over the heroine's repeated prudish stubbornness, but there were also moments of intense grief for her and the suffering she endured. I listened to Comanche Moon a while back, and decided to forego listening to this installment because of my dislike of the narrator. I'm not sure why I changed my mind; apparently, like childbirth, I forgot how painful that experience was until I was in the middle of it again. I cannot listen to another book read by Ruth Ann Phimister. Although she seems to manage voicing the peripheral characters without too much difficulty, she truly mutilates the voices of the main characters in this story, just as she did in the first one. I have a really hard time getting past her halted, stuttering interpretations of the way Swift and Amy communicate; her renditions of the lead players in this story (just like in Comanche Moon) make it very difficult to continue listening. Her version of Amy makes the character sound like an excessively elderly, speech-impaired, whining female that grates on your nerves. I wish it wasn't true, because I do think Catherine Anderson writes a great story. Anyways, if I were you, I would definitely read this one the old fashioned way; I can guarantee more enjoyment if you do so.

Not the best narrator but good story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I have already

If you’ve listened to books by Catherine Anderson before, how does this one compare?

This is the second book I listened to I like the story and it continues very well from the first book. I wanted to hear more about the people in the first book Comanche Moon and this gave it to me. If the narrator was a little better it would have gotten more stars.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The voice does not match the part of a young girl telling the story she sounds like an old lady.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The ending and climax were exciting.

Any additional comments?

I like westerns and historical novels. If you like those too then you should read this book it is a good story.

Once again, Catherine Anderson delivers!!!

I have long read Catherine Anderson's novels and was thoroughly impress by the audiobooks. The narrator and author deliver a most powerful performance and careful attention is paid to details... I look forward to every book that is written and recorded....

Awesome story

One needs to read Commanche Moon to feel the heart in this story. The author brought tears to my eyes with her deep knowledge of one who has been violated multiple times. Done with heart and style, I think catherine captured the emotional dwellings Amy suffered.

I Hope Catherine takes this a step futher and portrays the daughter who is half breed and what it was like back in the day growing up. I think she will be able to write it well.

A romance with a plausible story

What did you like best about this story?

Relatable characters with imperfections, not a totally outlandish storyline.

Who was the most memorable character of Comanche Heart and why?

Swift- A man with flaws and strong characteristics, yet a tender heart full of masculine love.

Basic story line was good.

I had a very hard time making it through this book. The narrator’s voice did not fit the characters, her voice made the characters sound too old and feeble or like little children. It really took away from the listening experience. I currently have another book downloaded with this narrator at some point maybe I will give it a try. 🙁

Lovely Love Story

There is a lot of pain and suffering in this book, but Swift is such a patient man and wonderful lover. I love that Amy was alive for him even though she hated him at first. And I was so proud of Indigo. Maybe there is another book coming to tell her story. I love that the love scenes in Catherine Anderson’s books are enough to spark the imagination but are not overt and in your face. Sometimes I wish I could peek into the bedroom to see just a little bit more.

Swift Antelope and Amy Masters

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

Comanche Heart by Catherine Anderson. Book 2 in the Comanche series. Audible Premium Plus borrow. Dual POV. Slow burn bi-racial (Comanche MMC/white FMC) second chance romance. Narrated by Ruth Ann Phimister. The audiobook does not follow the book's chapter breaks. This was a compelling, action filled story. Content warnings: kidnapping; gang r@pe and attempted r@pe; murders; native American/settler conflict; h's father lied to H; domestic violence, child abuse.

Date: 1876 - 1879

In the prologue, Swift Antelope (16, 31; aka Swift Lopez) scarred the right of his face when he was told Amy died 5 years ago. Swift then continues to travel with a group of Comancheros for three years. He's a much storied quick draw and looking for peace when he sees Amy. Amelia Rose Masters (12, 27; aka Amy) fell for Swift 15 years ago and waited for him to return to her for 7 long years. When Amy could no longer suffer Henry's abuse, she ran to her cousin. For 8 years, she's been protected and was able to regain the confidence she needed to survive her past. When Swift arrives, her neat, orderly life as a school teacher is threatened. In the end, they are engaged, hoping to marry soon. As their story unfolds, I got a peek into the hardships of their life, racism of the time, and the small town judgment they faced. JP
