No one writes romance like Cheryl St. John. Her talent is incomparable. She never fails to make me love her characters, they're always sympathetic, always human, always real. Caleb Chaney ought to have won a KISS award from Romantic Times. Men don't come any more heroic than this. I was hooked on page one and couldn't put it down until it was finished. I sobbed like a baby, and when it was over, I felt as if I'd won a prize, it was so thrilling to see Ellie get the life she deserved. I can't wait for Cheryl's next book.

THE DOCTOR'S WIFE is filled with so many twists, turns and surprises that it makes it impossible to put down. I was glued to each page and every word. Cheryl St. John creates an emotional connection between you and these characters that allows you to feel their pain and feel their fear. She handles a very tough subject with such skill and grace that it stuns the reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheryl St John immerses you in the lives of Caleb and Ellie, October 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Doctor's Wife (Harlequin Historical, No. 481) (Paperback)

Cheryl St John has once again proven to her readers that it doesn't take a super hero or heroine to link us with our deepest emotions. In Caleb and Ellie's story, we are drawn into their lives, including their pain, sorrow, and dawning love. Be ready to settle back into your comfy chair, grab a box of tissues and spend the afternoon in sheer pleasure as Cheryl unfolds the tragedy of Ellie's young life, and how she overcomes issues that face many women yet today. I'm positive that you'll feel the same as I do! I want to meet Caleb and Ellie just to tell them both how much I care.
