review 1: I came across Ruth Ann Nordin on Smashwords and quickly downloaded all of her books/stories in PDF format. Some of them are available for free, others cost between $1-$3. Nordin has stated on her website that the characters in her books will only have sex after they are married. I respect that she wants her writing to reflect her personal convictions. In this story, Nathan Rudolph, is looking for a wife so he starts interviewing women in his company. He chooses Amy Watson. When she politely declines his offer, they are married by proxy (she isn't present). With some legal/business maneuvering, Nathan convinces Amy to move into his house and make their marriage real. The plot is a bit convoluted at times, but the characters are so charming that I could overlook it. ... more This is a sweet, light read with some tasteful love scenes and a happy ending.
review 2: Several weeks ago I read What Nathan Wants, written by Ruth Ann Nordin, an independent author. I would like to say that Nathan doesn’t fit the stereotypical male of what he wants, he expects to get. I would like to say that, but I can’t. He’s a guy who operates under the mantra, “If I want it, it’s mine.”Nathan Rudolf is a wealthy travel agency owner in Omaha, Nebraska, who brings his business decision skills into play when it comes to whom to marry and have a family. The heroine, Amy Watson, is a woman who is content to keep her world on an even keel. She isn’t looking for a relationship, a husband, or a family.Nathan uses an old-fashioned ploy, plus enlisting her family and friends, to force Amy out of her world. In response, Amy takes a strong stand for herself to help Nathan realize that marriage isn’t a business.A contemporary romance with a familiar plot line, What Nathan Wants is a quick read that moves at a good pace. Overall, the book is a pleasurable read. The characters are believable and likable, except for the villainess, but who ever likes her? The ending chapters are happily-ever-after, but include real life, too.The author self-describes the book as rated R. Don’t let that stop you from reading this book. The few scenes of married intimacy can easily be skipped by clicking NEXT PAGE a couple of times. less
