Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. See this thread for more information. (1)romance author: Adeline Catherine was born and raised in Grants Pass, Oregon, USA. She always yearned to be a writer like her mother. The morning that one of her professors asked if she could use samples of Catherine’s creative writing on an overhead projector to teach was a dream come true. In 1988, she sold her first book to Harlequin Intrigue and went on to write three more before she tried her hand at a single-title historical romance. Nine books later, she did her first single-title contemporary.
Catherine married Sidney D. Anderson, an industrial electrician and entrepreneur. They had two sons, Sidney D. Jr. and John G. In 2001 she and her husband purchased a central Oregon home located on a ridge with incredible mountain views and surrounded by forestland honeycombed with trails. It was her dream home, a wonderland in the winter and beyond beautiful in the summer. She named it Cinnamon Ridge after the huge ponderosa pines on the property, which sport bark the color of cinnamon.
Sadly, Catherine lost her husband to a long-term illness in 2014. She has kept Cinnamon Ridge as her primary residence but divides her time between there and her son John's farm, where she has the support of her loved ones and can enjoy his horses, cows, and raise her own chickens.
Catherine loves animals and birds, both wild and domestic. She presently has two Australian shepherds, six cats, and a very old canary. She is very family oriented as well. Her older son has lived in Japan, Australia, and now resides in New Zealand. Catherine and her stateside family will celebrate Christmas on the north island with Sidney, his wife Mary, and their two sons, Liam and Jonas.
This book was probably a 3.5 story but it did have quite a few twists and turns in it. Genealogist Sarah Montague and Michael DeLorio met because Michael found out he was adopted and wanted to meet his birth parents. He had tried several other agencies but they all backed out and this made Sarah curious. Sometimes it is best that the past is left uncovered and this is what Michael found out. Very interesting storyline.
This book was coupled with Reasonable Doubt and I think it was a much better book than the first one. At least it kept my interest up and it was believable.
One can never go wrong with a book by Catherine Anderson. Both of these stories are great and very different. I loved both of them, and would recommended them to anyone who wants a couple of good reads. Both stories are full of intrigue and will keep you reading thru the night. Please give them a try and any other of her books too. None will disappoint you.
The first story was 3 stars and kept me pretty interested. The second story was 2 stras. It seemed alittle unrealistic via the romance in the beginning and I just couldn't stay interested in it. Was hard to keep picking it up to finish it.
This book was a little different then most of Catherine Anderson's books, but it was just as good. And you got two stories in one! I thought they were both pretty ordinal concepts and was kept guessing the whole book on what was happening. My only complaint was that I wasn't completely sold on Tyler Ross. Because he had to be so secretive the whole story I felt like you never really got to know him. Both stories were pretty suspenseful and exciting and I loved them both.
This is a "twofer" featuring 'Reasonable Doubt' and 'Without a Trace'. Both are early Anderson works. They do not have the depth that many of her later works have, but both stories are good and worth the time to read.
Catherine never disapoints me with her books. And this one is a great book also. You can be taken away to places that will make you forget the days troubles. I just love her books and this is one of them.
