His Secondhand Wife

I find it beneficial to reconsider a book before reviewing it. Sometimes the mood I am in at the time of reading colors my perception of the story. Noah Cutter was scarred inside and out. His perceptions of others reactions were colored by the treatment he received after his injury. [I find that our perceptions of others are never accurate.] Katherine Cutter was pregnant and no longer hopeful of having a better life, especially for her child. On her mother: [You fast loose your emotional connections to someone who keeps putting you down.] Noah loved his brother, yet still knew him in reality. His brother, Levi was not one to acknowledge responsibility. Was it really the child he wanted to protect or the young woman he brother had claimed in marriage? Noah found it easier to take Kate into his home as she didn't seem to find him different or repulsive. Her acceptance went a long way to changing his life. Kate was finding it hard to live with Noah, as he kept telling her she didn't have to do anything. How would she spend her time? She was used to working. This is a tender romance with a lot of changes to live through and misunderstandings to clear up. MaMa Cutter had definitely developed into a person with class distinctions as a rule to live by. [I would like to know where her income came from?] A nice change of pace with some past history to clear up and an entertaining read. Definitely Recommend - Again - Try it you may like it!

Katherine Cutter had very small dreams...a family and somewhere to belong. Surely that wasn't asking too much. But when her husband gets shot, he leaves her pregnant and alone. Then his brother rides into town. Noah Cutter is a man who is used to living life on his own. He doesn't know what to do with a woman like Katherine. His scars run deep and he's not willing to let anyone in. But Katherine doesn't seem to know how to stay out. And gradually, Noah's not sure he wants her two. Together they can forge a new family...if only they can let go of the past, the pain. St. John's ability to craft a deeply emotional story is amazing. His Secondhand Wife is another brilliant display of what this talented writer can do with a story!
