About this listen

When Samantha Harrigan attends the local rodeo, she doesn't expect to wind up in jail. But that's precisely what happens when she tries to stop a drunkard from abusing his horse. At least she isn't alone. Tucker Coulter, a handsome local veterinarian, comes to her defense - and is arrested too.

The charges are dropped, but Sam's troubles have only started. Her champion quarter horses are falling ill and the culprit is poison. As the insurance beneficiary, Sam is the prime suspect. Unswayed by the rumors floating around town, Tucker offers to help prove her innocence. Sam, though, is uneasy about accepting his assistance - and about the way he makes her feel. If only she could believe in him the way he seems to believe in her....

Sun Kissed Book 7 by Catherine Anderson.

I have one problem with the Performance, the men's voices were hard to tell who is who is speaking. They most all sounded like very old men. Could you add additional people to do the voices of all the characters? Loved the story and there were many twists and turns that I never did see coming. Excellent Mystery. A very surprise ending. I am now on Book 8 of this series, Morning Light. Thank you Catherine Anderson for not loading the story with very full chapters of descriptive love making. Enough to keep it loving was entertaining. One of your best stories.

Romance, intrigue and horses...who could ask for more?

The story was good and the mystery interesting though predictable. I enjoy having characters previously met being reintroduced in the story line.

Catherine Anderson need I say more

Mrs. Anderson, in my opinion, is a phenomenal author. Tucker and Sammie are perfect for each other. She owns a ranch and he is a large animal vet. They both love horses. Then as Mrs. Anderson is great at there is a mystery that needs solved. I have several favorite narrators and Suzanne Toren is one of them. She has one of those voices that you either love or hate. In my opinion she changes voices/tones enough that you can distinguish the difference between characters. Even when there is several characters in a scene. I’ve listened to this particular series several times. I will continue to listen to the series. Now listen/read the next in the series to find out about Clint. 😁

Tucker and Samantha

*****SPOILER ALERT*****

'Sun Kissed' by Catherine Anderson, book 7 in the Kendrick/Coulter/Harrigan series. Audible Premium Plus borrow. Dual POV. The ebook sample includes a family tree. It's listed as 12 hours 22 minutes. I listened for 4 hours 57 minutes at speed 2.50. Narrator Suzanne Toren is easy to understand and has a nice pace, but her voice for most of these characters is too mature. This one held my attention, but it was sadly predictable. Content warnings: horse abuse, po¡son¡ng, and murder; h was a DV victim; Bethany's racing incident left her a paraplegic; and h ex-husband attempts to k¡ll her.

Date: August 12
Location: Crystal Falls, OR

Samantha Jane Harrigan (29; aka Tinker Bell/Sam/Sammy) is the youngest of five children, is petite, has long black curly hair, and has brown eyes. She is a devout Catholic but is now a divorced DV survivor. She and her four older brothers inherited 200 acres of the Harrigan ranch and enough capital to start their own businesses when they turned 21. She is the owner of Sage Creek Quarter Horse Ranch and breeds and trains quarter horse. Dr Tucker Coulter DVM (35) has brown hair and blue eyes, is 6'4" tall, a veterinarian, has a photograph memory, was an award winning wrestler in high school and college, and wanted to be a cop when he was little. He loves fine things, including his two-story, professionally decorated Victorian home and his English garden. He has a pet rottweiler named Max. The two meet at the rodeo after Samantha confronts a man abusing his horse. Later, Tucker is called to her ranch to help her sick stallion. Tucker is able to quickly assess the situation and treat the horse. Sadly, Samantha's horses aren't all saved. Her ex-husband seduced one of her stable hands and convinced her to do his dirty work. In the end, they're both in jail. The epilogue finds Tucker and Samantha on their wedding day, Frank plans to marry DeeDee, Mary is on a mission to convert her family to Catholicism, and Clint caught Samantha's bouquet.
