Photographer Cat Cochran has been to exotic places most people only dream about--but all she wants to do is settle down and get her life in order.

Every year I reread To the Ends of the Earth by Elizabeth Lowell. I have owned the paperback for over 10 yrs and it always breaks my heart every time. Travis and Cat are both so desperately seeking to find the other piece of their heart, yet when they find it are scared to claim it. Have read many of Ms. Lowell's books but this one is my favorite. All the drama, emotion and heartbreak you would expect in a romance. ( )

Photographer Cat Cochran trusted once and was badly burned. Now she takes pictures and concentrates on January, when she'll finally be free from the financial obligations her family has saddled her with.

Millionaire ship designer Travis Danvers doesn't trust women. His relationships are strictly business, whether they're negotiated for pleasure or financial gain. And when he meets Cat, he's expecting nothing less than her compliance with his usual program.

Lowell's created a lovely character in Cat. Travis is more than occasionally annoying, but setting that aside, the biggest hole in this story is Cat's family - they don't appear expect as a plot device, which is a bit unbelievable given the rest of the premise. That aside, a powerfully written story great for an afternoon curl-up. ( )

So I've been on a romance novel stint lately as the public library has plenty of them as downloadable MP3's. I'm moving and need something to listen to while packing and cleaning the house in preparation. This is one of the best that I have listened to so far. The author writes more than just a great romance. Her characters are more than just fluff and this story has more grit to it than others I have listened to. I did find the narrators voice for Travis Danvers a little irritating but was able to cope. This brought me to tears a couple of times. Highly recommend! ( )

This is without question my favorite book of all time. I've read it so many times its beginning to fall apart yet I can't bear to replace it. There are so many elements to the story, romance (of course), having the strength to move beyond your past, the pain/blessings of seeing the world differently, all of it mixed with the nitty gritty of day to day life.

1/29/10 - Love this book so much I just bought the electronic version for my Nook so I always have access to it. ( )

Book description
Photographer Cat Cochran has been to exotic places most people only dream about—but all she wants to do is settle down and get her life in order. One last assignment and she can put her past behind her—forgetting about her heart's disastrous misadventures as she loses herself in the natural beauty she has so far only glimpsed through a camera's lens. But first she must photograph the mysterious and elusive ship designer T.H. Danvers and his awesome creations.

A man in a million Travis Danvers is dangerous—a millionaire with an athlete's body; an enigmatic charmer capable of breaking down Cat's well-constructed defenses with a buccaneer's arrogance and flourish. She knows she must resist him, for experience has taught her that pain is the eventual price of the pleasure to be found in the arms of such a man. But caught in the waves of a sensual sea, Cat hears sirens whisper seductively, telling her to abandon all caution; to trust and love Travis with all her soul, and to ride with him on the winds of forever.
