More Than Words Can Say

Here's a story that is a good example of a marriage-of-convenience stories! How could I expect less, since it's a Karen Witemeyer novel? Once again she proves herself one of my favorite authors with this gently romantic, humorous story of a woman business owner whose town board decided to force her to marry in order to keep her business. While I wanted to kick the corrupt mayor to the curb, of course, I was in the wrong time frame to do so, and the hero was a great option!

But naturally the independent heroine isn't as easily convinced. She's skeptical of men, especially after the town gangs up on her in order to give her and her business to the smarmy town favorite who'd rather shmooze the mayor than to make himself more worthy of the woman he supposedly loves.

There were a few things that weren't super believable, but honestly Witemeyer is such an engaging author that I really tend to just swallow down whatever delightful plot she throws my way and beg for more. I just wish she could write faster than one book a year! I binged her entire backlist the first year I discovered her and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for a free reading copy. A favorable review was not required. Review is based off a final paperback copy.
