This story started out slow for me because it sounded like so many other books I've read before so I wasn't that into it. As I kept reading I found out that I was wrong and it was different. I enjoyed all the characters and personalities. All the inside jokes and stories made me feel part of the group. I am always reading about reformed rakes-which I do enjoy- but it was nice to see the geeky guy muddle through love. I'm excited to read other stories in the series and cross series. I downloaded Her Sudden Groom because it was free Kindle ebook and it had geeky/nerdy hero and heroine. How could I resist that combination?Alex Banks finds out his father signed marriage contract long time ago that obligates him to marry Lady Olivia if he is single on his 30th birthday. That might not have been so bad, if lady Olivia is not the most horrid person on a planet. So Alex starts an experiment: find a wife in a month and Caroline Sinclair, lady Olivia cousin, offers to help.Her Sudden Groom is not bad but it could have been much better and that makes me sad. Idea for a plot was nice and characterisation of main characters was not badly done. Romance developed slowly and there were a lot of sad moments to pull on your heart strings too. And Alex has a large quirky family with great dynamics.But: - Humor just didn't click with me. Lady Olivia was more caricature than real person. It was like Rose Gordon took a group of little kids and made them make a list of funny/horrible things your girlfriends could have. For example: her feet stink, her toenails are yellow, her boobs keep popping out of her cleavage, she's too fat, .... - I also had problems with term 'science' & 'experiment' who was loosely used for almost any interest, even gardening.Not a bad book when you need something relaxing and not too heavy. I doubt I will buy sequels to this series but if they are free for Kindle in the future I might read them.
What do You think about Her Sudden Groom (2011)?
easy enjoyable read when you want to read something light without having to think too much.
