Commentary Concering Books Walking On Air (Valance Family #1)
From "incomparable" (Fresh Fiction) author Catherine Anderson comes a novel of lost souls, second chances, and love everlasting....Random, Colorado, is just another stop on the road for solitary gunslinger Gabriel Valance. Known for his drinking, gambling, and womanizing, he prefers to remain a stranger to anyone who crosses his path. But when an upstart gunslinger catches Gabe off guard and shoots him down, he regrets his empty, lonely life with his dying breath....
Golden-haired beauty Nancy Hoffman settled in Random after fleeing an abusive past. Caring for her younger sister and working in a hat shop help her to forge ahead, though she remains fearful and mistrustful of men—and marriage....
Their paths will cross when Gabe gets a second chance at life and a divine mission: to sweep Nancy off her feet, gain her trust, and convince her to believe in his love. And in doing so, the once-hardened cowboy may save himself....

First of all, I received this book as a free ARC in exchange for an honest review. Walking on Air is reminiscent of Annie's Song. Annie's Song was the first book I ever read by Catherine Anderson and has remained my favorite of hers. I reread it often. I now have another top favorite book to reread by CA. This is just a wonderful holiday story to me. It starts on Christmas morning 1880 and then restarts on Thanksgiving before climaxing again on the same Christmas morning.In between those twoWALKING ON AIR is an exceptional read. I was unable to put this book down from the beginning to the end. This is a historical romanced about a gunslinger who is sent by angels Gabriel and Michael after he killed to return to earth to help a young lady betrayed by her father. This story will have you laughing, crying, and sighing. A first of a new series by Catherine Anderson that has me craving for the next book. I recommend this to all who enjoy a good romance.
I have to start this review by saying that I NEVER read historicals. In fact, the only historicals I have ever read have been the ones written by Catherine Anderson because I have loved every one of her books since day one. When I started reading this ARC, my first thought was, "Crap, she snookered me into reading another historical book!" My second thought was, "Wow, this is fascinating!" Having said that, this book is a wonderful tour through a character's life that sweeps you up and doesn't
This has to be one of the best historical romances to come out in a long time. The engrossing plot, the depth of the characters keep you turning the pages till the end. From the first page I felt I was right there experiencing all the emotion, the choices and last but not least the growth of people who were as real to me as my own friends and family. Do yourself a favor and get lost in this 'angel' of a book. You won't be disappointed!

I have never been a huge fan of historical novels preferring contemporary ones, but lately, particularly after reading this one. Ive changed my mind! Im a person who needs a book to grab my attention by the first page, or at least the first chapter or I lose interest. Thats the difference between a good book and a Great book to me. I dont want to merely like a book, I want to love it! I had no problem doing that with Walking on Air I was hooked from page one and it held my interest throughout
Do NOT let the word "Historical" fool you! This story reaches across all of time. Any modern woman will relate to Nan who is the heroine in this wonderful story. Gabe is a man anyone would fall in love with! This book very possibly may be Catherine Anderson's finest work! No book has ever made me so happy. If you believe in angels watching over us you must read! If you don't believe in angels watching over us, you MUST read!!!! You will laugh, cry and be angry but in the end you will be happy
