STEALING HEAVEN : STEALING HEAVEN

Summary: NOT THE BEST CATES BOOK BY FAR
Review: BASED ON THE PREVIOUS REVIEW I WAS QUITE ANXIOUS TO GET INTO THIS ONE. AFTER 2 CHAPTERS I JUST GAVE IT UP. CASS IS A SPOILED BRAT OF A GIRL AND AT AGE 15 A BIT OLD TO INNOCENTLY FIND HER DAD A WIFE.....NORAH IS A MOUSE AND KEEPS MENTALLY FLITTING OFF TO FANTASIES OF ROMANCE THAT SHE THINKS ABOUT AND WE'RE BORED WITH. THE HERO SOUNDS HUNKY AND SHOWS HIS VULNERABILITY RIGHT OFF BUT HE WENT FROM "NEVER" GETTING MARRIED TO "COURTING" NORA FOR THE GOOD OF HIS DAUGHTER IN 7 PAGES......TOO MUCH UNREALITY FOR ME SO I GAVE THIS ONE UP. IF YOU WANT A GREAT CATES BOOK, READ GATHER THE STARS FOR ONE. DON'T WASTE TIME ON THIS ONE.

Summary: Another wonderful story by Cates!
Review: Stealing Heaven is the book that got me started on Cates. Her stories are sweet and tender. This is one of her best--up there with Gather the Stars and Magic. Sir Aidan Kane's teenage daughter, Cassandra, sends for a bride for him by letter. Aidan is furious when Norah arrives at his castle expecting to marry him. She is shoked to find him young and handsome with a dark past--it's said he killed his first wife. He is not the lonely old man she was expecting. Despite the rough start, Aidan's daughter, is still determined to get them together. I loved Aidan and Nora. There were interesting secondary characters too. There was a dark mystery that kept me glued. The romance was touching--they had the sweetest wedding night! Definitely worth checking out.
