One thing really bothered me though, When Sarah is befriended by Steven on the train west, and then is presumed to be Steven's pregnant widow after the crash, Sarah just keeps quiet, letting Steven's family care for her and her newborn while she recovers from a broken leg & childbirth. She doesn't count on falling in love with Steven's brother Nicholas at all. no reviews | add a review

10th ANNIVERSARY I'm Not Who You Think I Am! Sarah Thorton wanted to shout, but revealing her true identity could only bring disaster on herself and her infant son. Still, sorrowful circumstance had turned a mistake into a miracle. She suddenly had a home, a family--and Nicholas Halliday, a man as dangerous to her as he was desirable...! His newly widowed sister-in-law wore mystery as elegantly as an evening wrap, rousing more than suspicions in Nicholas Halliday--for this beautiful stranger had a claim not only to the family fortune, but also to his heart and soul...!

Somehow I felt like her emotions weren't exactly right. She has left the east to find work out west since she is pregnant and unwed and she has heard that people aren't as condemning out west. I don't know why she would have thought that in 1869. I don't think unless you were a 'sporting woman' that it was accepted anywhere. Her father was keeping her from getting work in Boston. I don't see how he had that much power. I don't see how even Bill Gates could keep someone from getting a waitress job even today when he could find her easily. Still why go west? Why not some other big eastern city? She could pretend to be a widow any where. She gets in the train wreck and they think she is the hero's sister-in-law. She means to tell them she isn't but doesn't because, well I'm not real sure. Is it that at first it is that she is scared of him and is going to tell the mother but then the mother is all sad and she can't bear to tell her? Or is it that she has been in this accident had her baby as a result and plus has a broken leg and can't take care of her or the baby? Both are given as reasons. I think it might have been stronger if she had just gone with the second reason and then suffered guilt from that. The being too scared or too touchy feelie to tell was weak motivation. A heroine should have more gumption than that. I guess I can forgive her for being a desparate new mother trying to take care of her infant more than I can forgive her for being a weinie.
The hero was kind of all over the place. He was an ass, he liked her, he was an ass. Not really neailed down.
So I liked it and fans of CSJ will like it, but I didn't love it. ( )
