Make no mistake and read The Mistaken Widow!

April 1869, Lower New York State and Ohio This worth-your-time-to-read tale is about desperate measures taken in desperate times and realizing that the sun really does shine after a storm. This sweet story is also about recognizing things might not be as they appear and may actually be a blessing in disguise. Don't pass up this quick and easy enjoyable read!

Cheryl St. John is a top notch writer

Cheryl St. John is a top notch writer who fills the pages of her books with genuine characters in heartwrenching situations. She puts her readers right there inside the hearts and heads of her characters, making it impossible not to care what happens to them. The Mistaken Widow was a joy to read. Watching these two people fall in love, in spite of the odds against them, renewed my own faith in love and romance. Not an easy thing to do. Keep it up, Cheryl, and I'll keep on buying.

Sweet, fun romance. Definitely worth a look.

This story was great fun. Knowing this was a take-off on the movie MRS. WINTERBOURNE, I kind of knew where the plot would lead, but the trip there was entertaining and fun. Sarah/Claire is a wonderful heroine, and I could imagine myself in her shoes as the situation steamrolls out of her control and carries her along for the ride. Nicholas is an interesting combination of hot passion and cool reserve, and watching him deal with his feelings for Claire/Sarah is like getting an insight into the male psyche. Again, if you like sweet, fun romance, I recommend this book. You won't be disappointed.

It would be a mistake not to read The Mistaken Widow!

In Cheryl St. John's newest historical novel, Sarah Thornton finds herself trapped in another woman's identity and isn't quite sure how to escape it. As Claire Halliday she has servants and money, but the deception is eating away at her heart - a heart that finds itself aching for Claire's brother-in-law, Nicholas Halliday. The Mistaken Widow kept me up last night, reading it straight through. CSJ has the ability to not just create realistic characters, but to set their hearts beating and make them as real as any flesh-and-blood people. Sarah and Nicholas are a prime example of what she does best, creating characters that live long after the book is closed. Cheryl's on my must buy list and The Mistaken Widow is an example of why - she tells a story that doesn't just delight you for an evening, it takes up permanent residence in your heart.
