Joe's Wife (Harlequin Historical, No. 451)

Rating:
Summary: 4-1/2 stars (Excellent) from Bookbug on the Web
Review: JOE'S WIFE is a moving story about a man who battles with low self-esteem and a woman who has difficulty letting go of the past. The author skillfully develops their relationship into a loving and caring union, as she delves into their thoughts, hearts and souls. This story will touch you as you realize how the hero and heroine are affected by small-town prejudice and narrow-minded thinking. Cheryl St.John has written another winning romance that deserves a place on your keeper shelf!

Summary: Get out the handkerchiefs!
Review: JOE'S WIFE is a three hanky read in the best sense. This is real Americana -- not just European manners and mores grafted on to American characters. While I have several favaorite authors who do a good job with European Historical romance novels, it is harder to find good American Historical novels. This is one of them.

Summary: Full of romance, humor and passion. JOE'S WIFE is Fantastic!
Review: Meg Telford was feeling pressure from all sides to give up her ranch outside of Aspen Grove. She had lost her husband, Joe, to the Civil War and was determined she was not going to lose her home; the place they'd worked so hard for. But she needed help, and time was running out before she would have no choice but to leave. What she needs is a man. What she doesn't need is to fall in love. Tye Hatcher had returned to Aspen Grove to find life hadn't changed all that much during the war; he was still despised by nearly everyone in town. Everyone, that is, but Meg Telford. Tye had always been a little in love with Meg. She had always treated him as an equal, as a human with feelings. That fact didn't lessen the shock any when she approached him with an outrageous scheme to save her farm. If the town didn't like him now, just wait until they found out he was marrying Joe Telford's widow! Fans of Americana romance will take great delight in Cheryl St. John's latest offering, JOE'S WIFE. She has a flair for writing scenes that make readers feels as if they are in the same room as the characters. Combining romance, humor and passion, St. John proves once again why she is one of romance world's favorite authors. JOE'S WIFE is fantastic!

Summary: If your heart needs healing, this is a must read.
Review: Though life handed him an unfair deal, Tye Hatcher maintains a deep sense of honor and integrity rarely found in fiction today. He places his faith and heart in Meg's hands. Meg finds that to keep her ranch, she needs help, and turns to Tye. Throughout this book, I felt a sense of peace and contentment. Ms. St. John made me forget I was reading, and mentally took me out West during the 1860's. Tye's gentility and caring touched my heart, and kept me turning the pages to see if Meg saw him as I did. To say I loved this book would be an understatement. To say I hope to read more from such a talented writer is a fact.

Summary: Joe's Wife wraps itself around your heart,
Review: warming you and teaching you the true meaning of love. Tye Hatcher knew he could never fill Joe Telford's shoes, but accepted Joe's widow Meg's offer of a partnership. He might be Meg's husband on paper, but he feared he'd never be a husband of her heart. St. John takes us on Tye and Meg's journey of personal growth, and of love. Her ability to reach within her characters and truly bring the to life is a gift St. John displays with every story she writes - it's a gift that continues to grow and refine. It's a gift she freely shares with her readers. Joe's Wife is a beautiful portrayal of St. John's talent. Tye and Meg's story has me once again argueing with myself over which of Cheryl St. John's books is my favorite. <g>
