I read this book because the unusual storyline got me intrigued. An arranged marriage, how awkward that must be and how is it gonna work out. While the idea was interesting, the writing was just flat and boring. Conversations were dull and the main character Anne was even more dull. Her Yes. No. ...
Aaaah .. I haven't liked a book this much in a while, I absolutely love this book. The concept is so different, arrange marriages? It's an original book with a fascinating concept. Anne is a beautiful and successful woman, but has failed relationships so she signs up for an arrange marriage servi...
I did not realized I had read this author before and she was on my must watch for more books by her. I actually did not realize it until I had finished this story and saw a short selection from her other book. Ding, ding, a bell went off that I remember this story. I looked it up and found my rev...
I really enjoyed this book, I couldn't put the book down because I really wanted to know what was going to happen with her life when she got back home to everyone thinking she was dead after that earthquake in Africa.

I’m holding an extremely heavy trapeze bar with my right hand. My left is clinging for dear life to a guy wire. Any second now, the muscled man in tights behind me is going to yell “hep!” and I’m supposed to swing into the nothingness in front of me. &nbs...
So I let the staff know I’ll be gone for a couple of hours and walk from Playthings to the conservatory. On my way, I wonder, as always, what it is about this woman that removes my free will. She’s had my number since the first time I met her (both figuratively and literally), and I’ve never know...
Africa. The safari. The fire. Banga-just-Bob. The excitement of my fellow travelers, the exotic mix of meats. I wash my dinner down with large mouthfuls of the local brew, a brackish mixture of throat-stripping alcohol and something that smells like bark. It tastes awful, but the result isn’t unp...
