A keeper

Merren Sheperd is a giver, and her family take full advantage of this. She is supporting 7 people including her father Lewis, older brother Robert, his wife Carol and their three children Queeie, Kitty and baby Samuel. When Robert gets into dept with loan sharks. Merren sales her mother ring, and takes the money to pay Roberts dept, only she gets mugged.Piers Montgomery sees what happened and goes to help, Jared his brother takes over for him because Piers has a plane to catch.But Jared does't belive Merren has been mugged, he thinks she is just after Piers' money.Jared loans the money to Merren only if she pretends to be his girlfriend for a year.Then he gets in the newspaper with another woman and his mom Helen and dad Edward as well as his sister Veda, are up in arms because they think he is two-timing Merren.Merren lets everyone walk on her but Jared and she keeps her mouth shut, that part I don't like, but she puts Jared in his place contantly. Why she can't just move out or move in with her uncle and let the leaches fend for themselves is beyond me.But her loyalty to her family is understandble, it's to bad her family don't feel the same way about her. Jarred finds he admires Merren and soon falls in love with her, as she finds she loves Jared too, she doesn't want him to know. Thus starts the funny part of the book.I recommend Susan Fox for another good writer that will make you laugh and cry. Helen Brooks is good and Rebecca Winter also. And though her books were not funny the late great Betty Neels was a good writer, and she lives on in her books.
