review 1: QUICK TAKE:A fine historical western read. I love second chance stories, and while I'm not too fond of romances with kids running around, there was just enough here. Ella comes to Wyoming with a bunch of other soiled doves, though Ella was an exclusive courtesan. Answering an ad in the paper for mail-order brides, these ladies pair up with the men in town while keeping their past secret. Ella hit the jackpot with widower Nathan Lantry. Handsome, tall, well-off and ambitious. And he is a loving father and honorable man. You know this secret will come out, how will Nathan take to being lied to? Lots of emotion and ultimately heart-warming to boot.
review 2: I’ve loved Ms. St. John since her very first book and gobble up her newest releases as soon as they come ... moreout and this one was no exception. Since Lorraine Heath left the Old West and departed to England, Cheryl St. John is my mind, THEE Western write who writes the most poignant storesThe heroine is a prostitute in the old west. She has run away from the brothel and agrees to be a mail order bride without informing her bridegroom Nathan Lantry of her past.I get that this kind of heroine isn’t for everyone and I can respect that. But for any on the fence on this kind of heroine, or those contemplating trying one, they don’t come much better than Ella. Ms. St. John, as she has with so many of her heroines, writes Ella in such a way that she will break your heart. She makes her past so tragic, and she is still so vulnerable. But never does the reader sit in judgment on her. It’s a case of it was what it was and now she has an opportunity to make a new life for herself. She feels bad about not telling Nathan about her past and doesn’t really consider the consequences she’s so desperate to escape her past.And Nathan makes for quite an endearing hero. He didn’t stand out for me as much as Ella, but I really did enjoy how considerate he was of Ella and how concerned he was that he not make the same mistakes with Ella.There’s nothing big or showy about this story. It’s a gentle book about how a young woman struggles to overcome her past with the help of a gentle and loving man. less
