Four-time
RITA nominee Joanne Rock has never met a romance sub-genre she didn't
like. The author of over seventy books enjoys writing a wide range of stories,
most recently focusing on sexy contemporaries and small town family sagas. An
optimist by nature and perpetual seeker of silver linings, Joanne finds romance
fits her life outlook perfectly--love is worth fighting for. A frequent speaker
at regional and national writing conferences she enjoys giving back to the
writing community that nurtured and inspired her early career. She has a Masters
degree in Literature from the University of Louisville but credits her fiction
writing skills to her intensive study with friend and fellow author Catherine
Mann. When she's not writing, Joanne enjoys travel, especially to see her
favorite sports teams play with her former sports editor husband and three
athletic-minded sons.
My Review:
This is a fun book. It has a little bit of everything. A mail order bride, siblings helping eachother out, and a pretend relationship that has the potential to be so much more. I liked that the relationship between Quinn and his brother is real and they act like siblings do. They disagree, and love each other. I liked that Sofia was willing to go against her father to be happy. I really liked the ending and what happened to the contract and engagement ring in particular. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy, all opinions are my own.
Thank you for reviewing and sharing!
