Would you consider the audio edition of Coming Up Roses to be better than the print version?

I have listened to all of Catherine Anderson's books but this was the most enjoyable one I have heard. I could not stop listening. I did not want to end. I want a sequel to this book, it has to be more. Little Mandy was so precious. Please send us more.

a little tedious in spots

felt long. thought it could have ended several times before it did. thought of stopping several times. liked the judge and sheriff.

So Good

if you like historical romance, you should give this book a try. It is one of my favorites. You will fall in love with Miranda. Julia Gibson does a great job.

fast read

This book starts off by grabbing your attention. This book made laugh out loud. The little girl Mandy is a very smart 4 year old full of questions. I love how the author let's her character shine.

BEST STORY EVER!!!!!

An abused widow woman, who would do anything to protect her daughter. A man who rides into her life, and teaches her how to trust and love again.

The little girl, the man Zeak, and the woman, Katie. I loved the ranch hand, the dog. I loved it all.

The snake pit.

Any additional comments?

I recommend this book, it is one that you will want to listen to again and again..I burst out laughing so many times, the little girl say's the funniest things. Zeak is so strong and patient and love's both of them. If you want a book that is hard to put down, this is it.
