![]() With this latest, (after Keegan's Lady) Anderson creates a heartwarming page-turner while establishing herself as a major voice in the romance genre. When I first started reading Simply Love, I thought that Cassandra was one of those women. People who have feelings and love and need to be loved as well. She portrays them as people not handicaps. He finally resorts to marriage to get what he's paid for, but by that time Cassie has discovered his manipulation and deception, and Luke must find a way to prove his love for her. Women who may or may not be beautiful on the outside yet are definitely beautiful where it counts. Cassie misunderstands her duties, and a delightful comedy of errors starts as Luke tries to explain exactly what he has hired her to do-all of which is lost on the naive young woman. To get past her objecting father, Luke has him jailed on bogus claim-jumping charges, then "rescues" Cassie and her little brother from destitution by offering her a position as his live-in companion. When he happens upon Cassandra Zerek as she's reading to a group of children, he realizes Cassie is the woman he wants for a mistress. ![]() ![]() He longs for the warmth and comfort of family life, but that would mean taking a wife, which he has vowed never to do. But lately his life is like a glass of ale left out overnight-flat, with all the fizz gone. He's made his fortune in the Colorado gold mines and bought the best of everything, including women. ![]()
