Marry Me by Jo Goodman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this book. I really did, but…
That’s the thing. There’s a slight lingering “but” that I can’t shake. (Ha. Can’t shake my but? Sorry.) Anyway. I recommend the book, but I recommend going into it as revisiting the town of Reidsville more than a straight-up romance. There’s actually very little conflict related to the primary romance arc.
And, if I was the heroine, I don’t think I would have bounced back quite so easily and quickly emotionally or mentally from all the things that she’d been through. Then again, I don’t think I would have wanted to read a realistic portrayal of the toll her life would have taken on her because it would probably be pretty heavy.
And yet, the four stars. I couldn’t put it down. It’s engrossing and I loved the characters, including the hero and heroine. And the secondary characters–both people we met in Never Love A Lawman and those introduced in Marry Me–were wonderful. The dialogue was charming and the developing relationship between the hero and the heroine, despite being a little short on real conflict, was very sweet.

I have this on my wishlist. I know $3.80 isn’t a lot but add it to my Christmas debt & my tears turn to sobs.
I really loved Never Love a Lawman. I hope I love Marry Me too.
