I love Catherine Anderson's work. Sharply defined characters, a hero who was a real villain in the beginning, but his heart's desire gradually softened him, making him realise that he has a conscience, and redeems himself.
I particularly liked Father Tully. He came across as a lovable old rascal. His verbal sparring with an inebriated Luke was sparkling with wit, and very entertaining. ( )

From BackCover:
SIMPLY WILD
The wealthy owner of a Colorado mining empire, Luke Taggart has seen and done it all. Now, bored with saloons, gambling and loose women, he feels a restless yearning--for what, he doesn't know. Until he meets a woman as fresh and pure as a spring morning--and vows to possess her...at any cost.

SIMPLY INNOCENT
Compassionate, radiant and breathtakingly lovely, Cassandra Zerek has a charming naivete that seems to blind her to Luke's seductive schemes--and an unwavering belief in the magical ability of love to transform this frog masquerading as a prince into the man of her dreams.

SIMPLY LOVE
Soon Cassie has aroused not only Luke's desire, but his conscience--most unexpectedly--as well. But neither gold nor guile will make her his own. Only the most precious gift of all can win her: Luke's deep and abiding love. ( )
