He feels like he tricks her into staying with him, and he struggles with his own loneliness. Noah wants to provide for and protect Kate, and, because of his physical scarring, is pretty sure she’ll despise and pity him. I really liked the conflicts Ms St.John set up in this book. Kate’s also pregnant with Noah’s brother’s child, and Noah wants to ensure that the child remains in his life so it can inherit the Rockin’ C ranch. Noah Cutter, physically scarred and thus wary of people, takes in Kate, the widow of his flamboyant brother, because Kate needs a place to live. This is a pretty simple story, with no extras like a suspense thread or paranormal elements, and I really liked that. Whoever recommended the book certainly didn’t steer me wrong, and I’m going to be eagerly reading more of Ms. I know that Sybil adores her, and after a run of particularly “meh” western romances, I picked this book off the TBR pile. I think it was Super Wendy that first told me about Cheryl St.John. Historical western romance published by Harlequin 1 Jul 05 Shannon C.’s review of His Secondhand Wifeby Cheryl St.John
