sweet story
I found this story very sweet. Some things were a little fantastical but I did enjoy their story quite a bit. There are some sex scenes between the married couple

AAaaah this was nothing but a ball of angst and yearning and I just loved ittttt!!!.
h has been hurt before by H's brother who knocked her up and ditched her so now H is stepping up to take care of her while slowly falling in love with her.
He is just a sweetie pie omg he was so nervous around her and he was scared she wouldn't accept him and that he wasn't worthy of her like omg my heart was bursting at the seams.
It was just a story of two hurt souls that came together to heal each other and love each other and I was giggling and squealing the whole time.

I loved Noah and Katy so so much, their conflict and growing relationship was very realistic to me and extremely satisfying! Noah is one of my fave heroes to date and seeing him as a father was so sweet
I love western HR and was glad there was no offhand racism that’s often included in the genre, so I’ll have to read more of this author!

It was actually a pretty sweet story, but man... it has such a terrible title.

An emotional read about a young pregnant widow taken in by her physically and emotionally scarred brother-in-law. Better than average writing and characterization. The author sets the scenes well and the dialog is smooth and natural. Both main characters are mistaken about the other one's motives, but the reasons behind the mistakes are believable (and not unkind), so the plot device works here. Although there was tension between Noah and Katherine, the author could have build more tension and given a greater emotional punch to the story.

I loved this one. It was sweet with a bit angst and just satisfying. In this story, Noah Cutter finds out his brother and co-owner of their family ranch was shot dead leaving a pregnant wife. Noah does the honorable thing and offers Katherine a place at the Ranch to leave for both protection and familial obligation. After all Levi's unborn child will inherit the ranch someday.
Katherine and Noah then begin this journey to define her place there and in the process begin to form a bond together. It predictable what happens but it doesn't make the story any less enjoyable.
Noah was a man unused to love due to his scarring and Katherine was the most optimistic character I've ever read. Together, they made this beauty and the beast trope sweet and hopeful. I appreciate the author for giving Noah and Katherine some shade so they weren't perfect people. They were flawed and human. I've read Cheryl St. John before and this one was almost as good as The Land of Dreams. I wish she will get her books on audio.

I really disliked this book. I didn’t enjoy the characters, the writing was slow paced, and the romance just wasn’t there for me. This story had so much potential, but I just didn’t feel like it lived up to it. Definitely not spicy, and the romance overall felt like it was lacking.

This is a Beauty and the Beast retelling in the old American West. Noah Cutter fetches the widow of his shiftless brother when he finds out about her and that she's pregnant. Kate was dazzled by Levi, but she's grateful for Noah's help as she has nowhere else to turn. Noah is scarred because of a childhood accident, but Kate doesn't mind, and eventually, they marry and fall in love. They still have to overcome some heartache, but it's a sweet story and well-told.

Historical romances are so sweet and cute when they don't have manwhores who need to stick their little dicks in everyone's wives but theirs. Insecure little pieces of shit.
Loved Noah and Katy and i hope the man who shot Levi gets acquitted cause seriously he got what he deserved and that's what I keep praying for when i read HR w infidelity.
And ofc this a beauty and the beast retelling and as any normal person i had no choice but to love it.
