Customer Reviews

Not a keeper, but a better than average read

From the back cover: Signed, sealed and married! To whitewash his reputation and win custody of his son, rakish Brady McQueen needed a respectable wife. To save her cherished home, prim, love-shy Maggie Buchanan needed a husband. The bargain? An immediate wedding and a pretense of instant love! But when Brady continued his tempting, tender kisses behind closed doors, Maggie was shocked! Wasn't this a marriage of convenience? Still, Brady's charm was nearly irresistable--and his little boy had stolen her heart. For someone who didn't believe in love, Maggie was head over heels. Trouble was, Brady still seemed to have his feet firmly on the ground. But that could change... And my review: While the 'marrige of convenience for custody reasons' is an old one, this author managed to keep the plot feeling fresh. The characters were likeable, and the little boy was just adorable. While not the most memorable of romances, this was a story that was worth reading, and I do recommend it.
