1: bright eyes
the book is awesome, I wish I had started reading the series in order, I have read most of the stories except the book about Bethany, I have heard so much about the story it is too late to read it. maybe they should be numbered.

2: A Coulter disappointment!
I Love Catherine Anderson's writing style and the different angles of love that she is able to write about, but this one was just a boring read. Nathalie is recently divorced with 2 kids and Zeke is the neighbor whose home was vandalized by Nathalie's son. Zeke agrees to let Chad, her son, work of the debt and soon enough they fall in love.
This book just didn't do it for me. Zeke was boring and so was Nathalie. There was no depth to their characters, I just felt like they went through the motions and Zeke was a bit too perfect to me. Pretty easy read, but if you are used to Catherine's Coulter novels, don't expect too much. The secondary characters were really just flat and even some of the dialogue with the Coulter family didn' seem as interesting as they usually are.
As a Coulter family fan I still would recommend reading it as part of the series.

3: Another Fun Coulter book
I enjoyed this book; it has humor,a romance, a mystery, kids, pets and lots of family. It was a lighter read than Blue Skies (Hank Coulter's story). I didn't like it at all. I enjoyed that Zeke and Natalie meet and fall in love without all the sexual tension in other books. That storyline is so played out. Zeke was great with Natalie's kids and was just touching for him to especially reach out to Chad who was so troubled and helped him gain confidence in himself. Rosie of course was delightful. Yes, Natalie's sister was portrayed as a bit slutty but seems like she had a good heart. All in all it was a fun read and kept my interest to the end.

4: Hmm, not like the others.
I normally absolutely love the Coulter series. Of the 8 there are, this one I couldn't even finish. I really didn't like the extra characters. I felt disgusted reading about overly slutty Valerie and drunk and dirty Grandpa. I thought Catherine painted a very low "white trash" picture of Natalie. Neither did I like the whole murder mystery angle. I know Catherine usually does the mystery thing very well, but the feel of the entire book was off. So, I guess I am one of very few people who did not like this book. ALL of the other ones have earned a place on my favorites list, and Catherine is still one of my favorites too. Was hoping for better, I guess.

5: Surprised and pleased.
I put off reading this book for quite awhile. I thought I'd wait until I was in the mood for something schmaltzy. I was definitely off the mark on this one. Zeke is a firm "never want to get married or have kids" guy. Natalie is a single, working mom with two kids and a truly wretched ex-husband.
When her son vandalizes Zeke's house & they meet, sparks fly but neither one wants to admit it. Then Natalie's daughter Rosie is added to the mix. Rosie is just like the daughter of a friend of mine. She was a fun lovable kid but she talked like an adult. It was a scream to hear such mature things from a little kid. We used to say she was smarter than we were.
When Natalie's ex is murdered she becomes the prime suspect & Zeke's determined to clear her. The only problem I had was that the ex got off too easy, he should have had to suffer over a prolonged period of time!
This book has made me want to read the whole series!
