well written, but needs leap of acceptance

The serial killer murdered her brother, who was closing in on apprehending him. Her father, the Santa Gregoria, California police chief became a victim too. Sara Shepard suffers amnesia after taking a blow to the head on her wedding night. Jordan Dawes informs her that he is her new spouse, but fails to tell her that their marriage is a farce set up by her father to catch her brother's killer. Jordan knows he will risk his life to keep Sara safe, but as her memories slowly return, she has some doubts about her new husband. Besides the fact he acts strange for a newlywed, her pieces of recall do not match what Jordan has told her. Still she finds herself falling in love with him even as Jordan reciprocates the same feelings, but sometimes she wonders if he could be the killer. Though well written, MARRIAGE CLASSIFIED requires one of two types of acceptance. Either readers take a leap of faith or assume the highly regarded former SEAL and Texas Ranger Jordan is an idiot and the killer is a bigger moron. Still, the tale is fun to observe because of Sara, whose emotions run the gamut from needing Jordan to protect and guide her to love to doubts about him for fear he is a "crafty" killer. Linda O Johnston has written a fine romantic intrigue that many sub-genre fans will enjoy. However, those readers who want a taut tale will find this plot just a bit too loose when it comes to the roles of the key two male players.Harriet Klausner
