CATHERINE ANDERSON WILL TOUCH YOUR EMOTIONS WITH THE NEXT CONTEMPORARY STORY IN HER HARRIGAN FAMILY SERIES. Mandy Pajeck had a tough childhood --- an abusive father, a mother who left, and a younger brother, Luke, who depended on her when she was just a child herself. Now twenty-eight, Mandy remains devoted to Luke and feels responsible for the accident that took his sight. But his complete reliance on her care is making them both miserable. When she meets handsome Zach Harrigan and his mini guide horse, she thinks she's found the ticket to her brother's happiness --- and maybe her own. Of the five Harrigan siblings, Zach is the hellion who parties hard and takes nothing seriously. But lately his life has felt empty. So, employing his skills as a horseman, he begins training a mini guide horse for the blind, never expecting that the project will lead him to beautiful, tenderhearted Mandy. She's everything he's ever wanted in a woman. But though she's charmed by Zach's patience and compassion, she can't bring herself to fully trust him. And when Zach urges her to confront the truth about her mother's disappearance, the secrets they uncover are so shocking that even Zach's steadfast devotion may not be enough to win Mandy's heart.Rating Appertaining To Books Here to Stay (Kendrick/Coulter/Harrigan #10)

You know what? I really enjoyed this book. Even though there wasn't much romance (not until page 366), and the heroine (28 year old Mandy Pajeck) sometimes frustrated me, and the heroine's 19 year old brother (Luke) started out as an unlikable spoiled brat/baby...there was just something compelling about this book. Obviously a lot of it has to do with Catherine Anderson's skills as a writer--her ability to tell a well rounded, interesting story is first rate. And it also helps to have aHere to Stay by Catherine AndersonContemporary Romance Jan 25th, 20114 starsMandy Pajeck will do anything for her younger brother, who lost his vision because of her. Blind and bitter, Luke continually punishes Mandy by making her do everything for him, including dressing him, feeding him, and fetching things. As a result, Mandy puts her own life on hold to take care of Luke. When Mandy suggests getting Luke a guide dog so that Luke can go to college and learn to take care of himself, Luke
She is one of my favorite authors but this book was so annoying at times and the romance was almost nonexistent. Hopefully her next will be better.
I needed way more romance but loved the guide horse so much I kept reading. The heroine is very messed up from her childhood. I wish she would have sought out professional help much earlier in the book. This would have made for better reader. I liked the hero though his reaction to a separation they go through is off putting. So, not my favorite but worth reading for the miniature guide horse, Rosebud.
OMG. I loved this book. It made me really emotional. Content warnings: death, disability, child abuse, animal abuse (off page but deals with an animal that has been abused). One of the things I love about Catherine Anderson's novels is how she makes such great characters. Things aren't always as they seem and people are more complex than what is shown. That is definitely the case with Mandy. Catherine Anderson's books are enjoyable as a whole. She takes you a journey and you definitely have to
Wow even with this being the slowest burn Romance I've read in a very long time, I still enjoyed every single page. Mrs. Anderson is by far a truly poetic, passionate and mesmerizing author. To create stories that surpass just the same old love connection and adding in family, faith, friendship and then after that.. Suspense, life's struggles and successes. Well it gives me a perfect type of balance. I learned so much about mini guide horses and what happened with the ruling against them breaks
Finally!! I friggin finished this book! I just couldn't get into this book, the characters, and the story just wasn't enough to keep me reading. I found myself constantly putting the book down and then picking it back up, only to read a couple of pages before I put it down again. I found the story to be predictable and unfortunately too similar to Anderson's 9 books that are in this series. I don't think I will continue with her series unless the next book is highly recommended. :(
