Evergreen's Mail-Order Brides Book 3
"Tabitha Sandler?" "Hello, and, umm, that was my name, yes." Was? Nicholas couldn't even fathom what that was supposed to mean.
Billionaire cattle rancher Nicholas Sutherland was one of San Antonio's Finest Eligibles, aka what the media loved to call as SAFE. But today, he found out he was no longer eligible, with his teenage son having forged his signature to serve as Nicholas' proxy groom in a mail-order marriage.
Tabitha "Bee" Sandler couldn't stop pinching herself. Her beautiful and devastatingly sexy husband Nicholas was ideal in every way, and even more amazing was how he seemed to feel the same towards her. Life was perfect...until she found out it was all a lie, and Nicholas had only been pretending all along.
Note: This is a STEAMY MODERN-DAY ROMANCE set in small-town Texas. It is 100% insta-love with no cliffhangers and a guaranteed happy-ever-after.
My Review:
What to say about this book? There’s lots of drama, emotion, and angst. If you’re looking for easy read that checks off those boxes, go for it. But, this story really could do with another round of editing. The copy I read contains a large number of spelling, grammatical, and continuity errors that left me shaking my head wondering what I was really reading. The fully omniscient style makes it difficult to keep track of whose viewpoint we’re looking through as it jumps from person to person, but that seems to be common with everything in this series. I found the characters very simplistic. Tabatha is a freaking saint. It doesn’t matter what horrible thing happens in her life she’s still sunny and optimistic. And don’t even get me started on how it’s possible that she’s malnourished but still has enough fat in her body to have curvy hips and lush full breasts that are completely irresistible to the entire male population. I kind of thought she was blitheringly naïve. I never got the sense that I ever got to know who Nicholas was other than a dark brooding presence with the skills of a sex god. There are also several side plots that are started and just dropped that I think could have made the story much richer if they had been explored more fully. I still want to know what happens with the fourth bachelor, so I’m willing to continue reading the series. I read a borrowed copy of this book.
