Sensuality Rating: 6
Bestselling author Catherine Anderson captivates readers with her tale of a desperate young mother, her newborn son, and the rundown drifter who rescues them one bitterly cold night. Little does Rafe Kendrick suspect that his long-frozen heart will crack wide open when he offers the warmth of his coat to a desperate runaway and her hungry baby. Maggie Stanley has little reason to trust any man, much less Rafe, the drunken cowboy she meets hitching a ride in a boxcar. But when he puts his own life in danger to protect Maggie and her baby, Jaimie, from the lowlifes sharing their railroad car, she's forced to place her battered body and equally battered heart into Rafe's hands for safekeeping. Bound together by circumstance, the two zealously guard their secrets until love permits Rafe to let go of the tragic deaths of his wife and child that sent him running from his former life as a successful rancher. And Rafe's gentle and loving care of Jaimie allows Maggie to see that here is finally a man willing and able to protect her from the harsh realities around every corner. Full of gut-wrenching emotion and plenty of human drama, Catherine Anderson's Baby Love shouldn't be missed. --Alison Trinkle

So Bad,
By A Customer
This review is from: Baby Love (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the most unbelievable book I have ever read. And that is not a compliment. It was so bad that even when it should have been good in parts it was bad. I like reading romance books to get away from the everyday things but this is more like a sci-fi than a romance novel. There is no way any of this could have happened. At no time did I even care about the characters or what happened to them. When I usually read before bed I have a hard time getting to sleep but with this book I had no problem falling to sleep. The first book I read from this author was Blue Skies, which was an excellent book. So I went out and found another book by the same author hoping for the same standard of writing and boy I was disappointed. I will give her writing one more try but first I will read the reviews and see what everyone else thought about it first.

a little too good to be true but....,
By pdxbeautiful "pdxbeautiful" (Oregon United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baby Love (Mass Market Paperback)
I really enjoyed reading this book. This was my first Catherine Anderson book and won't be the last. It's a story of how two strangers meet and help one another. It's a little too over the top in some ways, the dirty cowboy bum riding the trains around who happens to be a millioniare! But when I read I want to escape to places and with people who are a little over the top. That's the great part about losing yourself in a good book!! Maggie character was so clear, Anderson describes her and her background that you feel you know her and what she has been through. One of the strongest charcater I have read. Although I haven't been into the whole cowboy/romanace thing, I found this book to be surprisingly good and a fast read!! I would recommend this book highly, but it is a little too good to be true!!

Good, except for the usual too-good-to-be-true stuff,
By A Customer
This review is from: Baby Love (Mass Market Paperback)
This novel is the first of a 3-part series (Phantom Waltz & Sweet Nothings are the other two). It's pretty good, but if you've read a lot of Catherine Anderson, you'll note that her M.O. is all over this. That's either good or bad, depending on your viewpoint. Anderson always gives us an interesting plot, with just enough twists to make the romance interesting without pretending to be anything other than a romance. And, as usual, we get the too-good-to-be-true hero who falls hard for the heroine who is either imperfect or is in an imperfect situation. I know that all romance novels have heroes that are really fairy tale heroes, but Anderson's heroes even go beyond the usual. This, to me, is a drawback.In this novel, Rafe (the hero) falls almost instantly in love with Maggie (the heroine) and her son. He falls so hard that he gives up his hobo existence and his drinking to help them. Lo and behold: he happens to be a multi-millionaire. Oh, and by the way, he's also gorgeous, kind, patient, etc., etc., etc. That's the major problem with this novel. If you can live with that, you might find it interesting.
