Summary: Heaven Can't Wait
Comment: Catherine Anderson creates another powerful story of true love and the things people sometimes go through to finally end up together. This is the story of young love that ends suddenly and without explanation ten years earlier. We meet Joe Lakota, a professional athlete, who has returned home with his six year old son Zachary after a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife. He returns to find his childhood sweetheart, Marilee Nelson, coping with severe emotional problems of her own. Joe and Marilee try to find their way back to each other through his son Zachary, who needs care. I got into this story immediately. It was a swift read because the action was non-stop. Sometimes in the earlier chapters I felt frustrated because Marilee didn't communicate, but once the mystery unfolds, I didn't mind so much because the behavior would have been expected, given the circumstances. I really enjoyed the book and look forward to Ms. Anderson's next release.

Summary: Well done, exciting book.
Comment: After a bitter divorce and custody battle, pro football player Joe Lakota returned home to the small town of Laurel Creek, Oregon, to start over. The woman he loved all those years, Marilee Nelson, was there waiting for him, but her past caught up with her when Joe proposed marriage. This emotionally charged and poignant book is quite human, with the imperfections making the story and characters all the more real. Marilee copes with an anxiety disorder while Joe does his best to be a single father. Catherine Anderson takes us on a real roller coaster ride, with a thrilling, beautiful result.

Summary: A lovely story but slow paced.
Comment: Catherine Anderson always pens the absolute in leading men. Her romance heros are consistently tall, physically attractive, self-disciplined, and nine times out of ten unbelievably wealthy. In other words, the ideal romance hero. Anderson's leading ladies are usually cute, generally patterned after the girl next door, and nine times out of ten have a history of torment. In other words, the girl needs his help. In "Seventh Heaven", Catherine Anderson sticks to her recipe and prepares another romance delicacy.
Joe Lakota, an award winning high school and collegiate quarterback, was destined for the big times. This all-star athlete had the world by a string, including the sweetness girl in town. Marilee Nelson lived in a sheltered world. Her family protected her with love and Joe Lakota idolized her. Unfortunately, all too soon, her world came crashing down. Brutally, she was persuaded to sacrifice Joe Lakota. Instead Marilee Nelson chose to protect him by ending their lifelong friendship and love.
Ten years have slipped away and Joe Lakota has returned to the small Oregon town, of his boyhood; where he will raise his small, vulnerable son -- the small Oregon town Marilee Nelson still calls home. Joe Lakota may have returned home but not to the once naive Marilee Nelson.
In this story, Catherine Anderson has created a lovely page turner, but it is, at times, slow going. Marilee has some grave hangups and periodically the author delivers the healing with a painful pace. Nevertheless, this is a good book, but "Annie's Song" is better, if you have not read that Anderson classic, do run out and get a copy.
