Customer Reviews

Great read, talented author

This book was very well written and an enjoyable read. I have no problem with the hero/heroine trying to live their lives according to their faith. It is refreshing to see a story with characters striving to better themselves. It is sad that people in other reviews have to whine just because there is some morality in a romance novel. Morning light is a great read and Catherine Anderson is to be applauded. She is very talented.

I don't understand all the low reviews

I really enjoyed this book. This is the first Catherine Anderson book I've read. I didn't feel the religion was stuffed down my throat as mentioned in other reviews. I enjoyed the religious aspect. The fact that they talked marriage after a couple of days is a little unrealistic but, I truely believe when you know, you know. If you've read all of Catherine Anderson's books in the past, maybe you won't enjoy this one, but if you're a newbie to her novels like I am I think it's definitely worth the read. And who wouldn't want their dream cowboy to come after them when they ran??

Catherine Anderson never lets me down......

Since there are plenty of reviews that outline the story-line of the book, I'll leave that out of my review. I read most of the reviews on this book before I ordered it. I had really been looking forward to Mrs. Anderson branching off with the Harrigans, and I wasn't disappointed. I admit to being worried about some things, mainly there being too much religion. I'm not against having religion in a book and I read plenty of inspirational romances, but since I'm not a Catholic, I didn't really want to have it dominate the book. After reading this book, I honestly don't see what all the fuss was about. I was just as drawn to the characters as always, and I was so wrapped up in the story that I didn't really notice there being too much of anything in the book. Everything felt believable to me, and after reading the book she almost had me believing in clairvoyants. I'm also a huge paranormal romance fan, and Mrs. Anderson did a wonderful job of making the heroine's psychic powers very believable. You can tell there was a lot of thought and research done for the book and I enjoyed all the information she put in the book. I can't wait for the next book in the series to add to all my other ones.

5 stars

Loni McEwan's life was shattered by the consequences of her psychic gift two years ago, but when a new vision points her in the right direction to find a lost, missing boy, she follows her instincts and reaches out the the one man her talent says can pull off the rescue, Clint Harrigan, a devout non-believer in psychic mumbo-jumbo - until faced with proof that she's for real. Soon, the somewhat antagonistic pair find themselves working as a team in the wilderness, fighting the elements, the odds, and an attraction that neither was prepared to discover as they race time to save a life. ***** It may be impossible for Ms. Anderson to write a bad book. Though technically, this would not be shelved on the Christian fiction aisle, Loni and Clint's strong moral convictions formed by their faith make it an excellent book for all put the most Puritanical Christian readers. Even those put off by the, as some people call it, "weird" stuff, i.e., ESP, that element, though vital, is not a prepossessing issue for the most part. What makes this book are the characters and their building relationship set against the background of a life or death quest. ***** Amanda Killgore

Morning Light

Great book! I have been a fan of Catherine Anderson for a very long time and she is a 'must buy' when a new one comes out. This story is so like Catherine I just wanted to raise my fist and say 'way to go Catherine'. No matter what her topic, and they do vary greatly I know that she has researched and researched it and every last detail is correct. Where she comes up with some of her ideas I don't understand, but I do know once she starts writing the words just flow. She lets the 'people' she created lead the way, they become her friends and she lets them write their own story. As for the paranormal and religious aspects in her writing...it worked well. And I am NOT a fan of paranormal but this 'second sight' that Loni has is very believeable and the religon works well with it. I love the way that each and every book that Catherine writes covers new and different ground...I lose interest in an author who keeps writing the same story just changing names and locations. GREAT WORK CATHERINE!
