Summary: Storytelling at its finest.
Review: Catherine Anderson is a masterful storyteller and "Cheyenne Amber" is a polished tale. Amazingly, Anderson's story flows with harmony and heartwarming emotion.
Deke Sheridan is a hero. I don't know what source Catherine Anderson draws upon to sketch her heros, but that man must be a dream. For Ms. Anderson always writes the ultimate male. Consistently, Anderson's heros are rugged, tough, protective males, but so sensitive. Her men are every woman's fantasy.
Laura Cheney, a dignified lady from Boston, has journeyed through hell -- courtesy of her husband! Tristan Cheney was a cruel, vindictive, unsupportive man. Fortunately for Laura Cheney he died the same way he lived - brutal. Fortunately for Laura Cheney she met Deke Sheridan. Fortunately for the reader Anderson supervises their romance.
Laura Cheney is a penniless widow and her newborn son is missing. Courageously, she begs Deke Sheridan for his help, but Deke Sheridan is not interested in Laura's "white world" dilemma. Raised by the Cheyenne, Sheridan sees trouble in Laura's bruised eyes -- trouble he wishes to avoid. In spite of his misgivings, Laura soon earns his respect and support.
This author provides an exquisite tale. Ms. Anderson uses humor and description to tell this story. This reader hung on to her every word. She gives her reader solid direction by creating real characters and delivering vivid scenes. Well done, Catherine Anderson.

Summary: A gritty, attention-grabber.
Review: The story begins with Laura's husband offering his wife to another man as payment for his gambling losses. He ends up paying with his life. Laura Cheney is a gently-bred lady with spunk. She's went through labor alone and she's penniless. While she digging for water, her son is kidnapped by the man who won her in a bet. Though she has no money, Laura is desperate and goes into town. She finds Deke Sheridan, a white man raised by Indians. After an illuminating conversation, he agrees to help her. I really liked this couple. Deke was harsh, but only because of his past and the surroundings he lived in. CA slowly gets Deke to respect Laura's determination (riding a horse after giving birth only three days prior, continuing on the trail while ill) and her feistiness. He also saves her life by telling his brother that she's his wife, much to Laura's dismay, but she learns their ways and comes to respect Deke's adopted family. As a mother, I felt for Laura when she realized her son was missing, and I could empathize with her wanted to find him so desperately. Deke was a heartthrob, too. He's not very educated in the intellectual sense, and his mouth is foul sometimes, but he did know a lot about human nature. Laura's steel-tempered gentility slowly cracks the shell that has become Deke's shield for so long.
