Expanded Version

I have not actually read The Danvers Touch, but I have just finished To the Ends of the Earth. Lowell must have come out with Danvers Touch in a later reprint under the other name. To the Ends of the Earth must be an expanded story. But the write-up on Danvers Touch is exactly the same as To the Ends of the Earth. Wonderful, wonderful book. Adventure, romance and a little twist to the story. I would highly recommend To the Ends of the Earth.

WOW!!

I cannot get over how intensely this book grips you from beginning to end! What a fabulous deep romance!They do not write romances like these anymore where the story is all about the passions, emotions, and past traumas that the hero and heroine struggle constantly with, which creates such a sensual atmosphere of tension and suspense, you will not want to put the book down until you finish it!The hero is a ship designing genius with an ugly past marriage that has blinded him to view women as money-hungry harlots. She is a talented photographer who escaped a more traumatizing marriage and is struggling financially to put her sibling twins into Medical School. She is assigned to take photos of one of his designer ships, but they meet unexpectedly before they know each other's identities and the chemistry between them is instant and genuinely open. The writing is unbelievably intense; it creates an exotically detailed, moody, and stormy atmosphere that is congruous with the characters' personalities. The reader physically feels the electrical emotions passing through them when they are fighting, making love, crying or admiring each other's artistic genius. Furthermore, the novel hardly incorporates any side characters, but when they are introduced their development is kept to a minimal-they onle serve to heighten the suspense for the main character's romance-or aid it. The ending is especially gut-wrenching and I actually wept.Judith Mcnaught fans, you will be moved by this book. As for everyone else, the same thing goes! Read it and you will not regret the sensual, sexy, tumultuous dive of a romance that you will surely experience!

GO TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH FOR THIS BOOK

TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH is one exceptional romance that grips readers with the healing powers of love and the intensity of the passion between the characters photographer Cat Cochran and Travis Danvers. Cat has an acumen for visualizing beauty with her keen photographer's eye and when she is assigned to do Travis Danver's book on his magnificent ship, Wind Warrior, her beauty and courage touches Travis like no other woman. Elizabeth Lowell stirs smouldering passion right from the start, but the merits go beyond this - it is a tightrope of emotions when we watch the scarred characters replayed their tragedy. Travis is hurt by his fiancee Tina who is an avaricious woman towards his vast wealth; Cat is hurt by Billy, her ex-husband who abused her brutally when she was found sterile. Poignant moments were exchanged when Cat shows her affection for Jason, a child she has grown to love more than her life -a symbolism of her dreams and yearnings for a child of her own. The final pages of the story is heart-rendering and boasts a virtuoso human drama no less resonant and heartening. Cat saves Jason and ends up losing Travis's child, and when Travis recognizes his folly in thinking Cat is a replica of Tina - it was too late. Will Cat forgive Travis?Elizabeth Lowell spins a tale of love, betrayal and redemption - and in the tumultuous sea of passion and hope we, readers are caught up in this engaging voyage steered by the mastery of her writing TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.

Not your typical Mushy romance.

First of all, I would just like to say that Elizabeth Lowell is an exceptional writer. Her storys never lack depth or substance, and this book is certainly no exception. This story involves the beautiful Cat Cochran, a photographer who lives and breathes her work. She is a woman who works day and night so that she can support her mother and two siblings. She is a woman who has been hurt by an unforgiving past. Travis Danvers is a self made rich man. His past has also left him unwary and cautious of all women. He cannot trust that any women would love anything more than money. Even himself. With that state of mind, Travis meets Cat, the lovely photographer for his book on sailboats. He is drawn to her quiet beauty, but of course assumes that she is like most of the other women he has known. Women who are only interested in him for his vast fortune. He desperately wants to believe otherwise, but he has been hurt before. Even though Cat has been deeply hurt by "rich" men, she cannot help but fall for the striking Travis Danvers. Because of her immense responsibilities, Cat cannot stop overworking herself. Travis tries to buy her time with him, but she cannot accept. She will not accept his money, she will be no man's mistress. Cat Cochran takes care of her own self. Cat and Travis' pasts hurts come in the way of their blossiming love. Past betrayals make Travis hurt Cat in an unforgivable manner. Alone and afraid, Cat loses something deeply cherished, something which means the world to her. Only the love from Travis can make the wronged, right. This is an excellent novel, which will take you and sweep you off your feet. I recommend it wholeheartedly. You won't regret it.

Great! To keep!

One of the best romance books by one of the 'greats' (ranked at the top with Susan Johnson, Sandra Brown, Linda Howard etc.). The best book from Elizabeth Lowell by far. An independent and strong woman 'Cat' falls in love with a weary, successful, wealthy 'Travis'. Mistrust in women surfaces as Travis struggles to accept that Cat loves him for himself, and not his money. Dialogue is great. I've re-read it a dozen times. More of this sort of stories, with many heart-wrenching moments, please!
