Cassandra is a very sheltered and religious girl in a mining town when she meets Luke Taggert, the richest man in town. Luke is a jerk who takes what he wants, and he wants Cassie, so he connives to get her father and brother thrown in jail. Cassie and her younger brother are at his mercy though she's so naive she thinks she's to entertain him with chess and charades while working in his house.
Luke does turn out to have a heart of gold, but it's so late in the book that it is hard to believe. Cassie's constant innocence starts to become unbelievable by then also, so while this was an okay read, it isn't the favorite of my reads from this author. (

I didn't think I was going to like Simply Love. The heroine is incredibly naive and the hero, a ruthless jerk, but it worked for me. I had a hard time putting the book down - I loved it! (

The Hero of the book starts out as a major jerk...the upside which makes the story a worthwhile read is the fact that he learns from his mistakes and grows into a good person (

I love Catherine Anderson's work. Sharply defined characters, a hero who was a real villain in the beginning, but his heart's desire gradually softened him, making him realise that he has a conscience, and redeems himself.
I particularly liked Father Tully. He came across as a lovable old rascal. His verbal sparring with an inebriated Luke was sparkling with wit, and very entertaining. (

From BackCover:
SIMPLY WILD
The wealthy owner of a Colorado mining empire, Luke Taggart has seen and done it all. Now, bored with saloons, gambling and loose women, he feels a restless yearning--for what, he doesn't know. Until he meets a woman as fresh and pure as a spring morning--and vows to possess her...at any cost.

SIMPLY INNOCENT
Compassionate, radiant and breathtakingly lovely, Cassandra Zerek has a charming naivete that seems to blind her to Luke's seductive schemes--and an unwavering belief in the magical ability of love to transform this frog masquerading as a prince into the man of her dreams.

SIMPLY LOVE
Soon Cassie has aroused not only Luke's desire, but his conscience--most unexpectedly--as well. But neither gold nor guile will make her his own. Only the most precious gift of all can win her: Luke's deep and abiding love. (
