A Good Read

I quite liked this book and would recommend it. The Characters are funny and the plot is good.

A bland sort of reading

BOUGHT: ONE HUSBAND isn't one of those intensifying reads where you have to know what's going to happen next. The story is lukewarm at best and the characters are really shuffling their feet more than they are doing something. Jethro was helping his nanny's husband by washing windows. The nanny's huband has a business of washing windows and he became sick so Jethro comes in to help him. When Allie sees what's he doing, she assumes that Jethro is poor. She proposes a marriage to Jethro because she's in need of a husband to help her out. In return, he'll get a big check if he agrees. She thinks he'll accept because he's poor, when in actuality he's terribly rich but Jethro marries her, anyway, because he's in love with her. From that point on, it's really a matter of thought. I chose to read this book because the plot seemed interesting and intense. It wasn't. The timing that made everything worthwhile was off and there weren't enough descriptions in the story to make the characters real. Although I do admire Allie's loyalty to her mom but this book is one of the type where you can read on and off and not care.
