Marriage of Inconvenience

review 1: A fun, quick read with appealing characters, strong writing, and deft plotting. Gaines' backstory for the marriage is a bit iffy, but it gets things on track for a satisfying process of reunion. The hero's selfishness-related emotional myopia got annoying, but that was addressed and ultimately resolved. The heroine maybe lacks depth in terms of vulnerability - the hero kind of tells us (and her) where her shortcomings are in one painful conversation, but for most of the rest of the time she's the standard sort of sassy, independent-minded heroine. The snappy dialogue and skillful handling of emotional development made this an enjoyable and compelling read; my only complaints are that the ending comes too fast and easy, and the heroine's moment of realization of being in lo... moreve feels artificially placed, but those choices make the novel work and I'm willing to forgive them :)
review 2: What really got me into reading this book was the number of pages and the storyline; exactly in that order! It was a very strange book and in more ways than one. First, the whole attitude of the 'bride' was too childish and the 'groom' was actually liking it. The love part was also rubbish in the sense that not all relationships develop on the basis of hate.Can we be realistic here?Moreover, the whole Lucy fiasco was just plain rubbish. Who does that? That was my first time reading about people dealing with a grave situation in such an unsophisticated manner. No real pain of loss there.The aspects regarding there marriage were tangible but that was that. What they did with it was just plain stupidity. He did run away yet not to the point of never coming back. And here I thought doctors were hot stuff... less
