Enjoyable Novel/Poor Character Development,
This review is from: Keegans Lady (Mass Market Paperback)
This was an enjoyable novel that had the potential to be an excellent novel. I would have given it a higher score if the author have focused more attention on developing the relationship between the lead characters rather than focus on the external plot. Instead the characters simply fell in love with each other after being forced to marry. Since the heroine was fairly awful to the hero, I never understood the reason for the love. A romance novel should be a journey in which two people grow to love each other. The external plot is important but should never overshadow the journey. Instead it should be part of the journey. This books focuses too much on the external plot.

"A Tub Full of Chocolate For Caitlin"......,
By The Black Pearl "Professional DayDreamer" (Raeford, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Keegans Lady (Mass Market Paperback)
When I first started reading this book, I didn't think I'd finish it. The first chapter started out interestingly enough but I was unable to get into the story after that. But having made a promise to myself to finish every book I start, regardless of how horrible it is, I proceeded to read "Keegan's Lady" and Boy! Am I glad I did!"Keegan's Lady" quickly became an enchanting love story between Ace Keegan, a dark gunslinger bent on revenge after the wrongful death of his stepfather at the hands of Caitlin's father, and Caitlin O'Shannessey, a tortured young woman who, at the abuse she's suffered at the hands of her father, has developed a mistrust and deep fear of all men. Admittedly, I first found myself becoming slightly annoyed at Caitlin's jumpiness around her husband and his brothers and then my annoyance was replaced with sympathy and understanding as pieces of her abusive past were revealed. Admiring the way he gently dealt with his new bride, I quickly fell in love with Ace - a gunslinger with a heart of gold. What a hero! I really liked the character of Ace's younger brother, Joseph, and am hoping that there is another book featuring his story. Being that this is the first book by Catherine Anderson that I've read - I plan on doing some searching for more books pertaining to the Keegan-OShannessey storyline. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments in this book, as well as a few moments that make you hug the book to your chest and take a deep heartfelt sigh. I really enjoyed reading "Keegan's Lady" and agreed with another reviewer who felt like an epilogue was much needed. All in all, this is a highly recommended read.

Fun read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Keegans Lady (Mass Market Paperback)
Ms. Anderson's writing would make any story easy and enjoyable to read but with a fun plot like this one - there is no way to lose! Our heroine has lived a horrible childhood and is unable to trust anyone but her brother. Which does not put her in good stead when Ace's plot for revenge puts her in a compromising position and they must marry. But, she learns to trust him and find her place among his family. (For all you musical fans - with all the brothers around the house and a woman's touch softening their rough edges this book definately had the feel of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.) I liked the book so much I couldn't put it down. Now I have to go buy all her others!
