MY REVIEW:
This was my first time reading any of this author's work, so I had no idea what to expect from the book. However, it can highly rated from an author friend of mine, so I decided to give it a go. I was glad I did. The premise was a bit different- military man basically is looking for a ready made wife, in order to make himself look more attractive to his superiors so that he can be promoted.
I have to commend the fact that he did go into the whole thing with an open mind, not expecting the best of the best, but that he was completely open and honest to the women he was advertising to, that he had certain expectations and this was basically a marriage of a business like nature, and not some fairy tale. Luckily his honesty paid off when he met the girl of his dreams online, who only wanted the same thing from life that he did, even if her reasons for getting into the whole mail order marriage thing were a bit different than his.
These two seemed to fit very well together, and did make for a believable couple, regardless of the way they were introduced to one another. They did seem to genuinely care for each other, and didn't just hop right in the sack based on their sexual chemistry. They seemed to have an actual connection, which always makes for a good read.
All in all, I was pleased with the way the story turned out, and look forward to reading about Lucas and Miles as well, particularly Miles as he is the most skeptical of love, it seems.
