Author:
A bestselling and award-winning author of romance and chick lit, both under her own name and as Donna Clayton, Fasano has written over thirty novels and sold more than 3.5 million books in her twenty-some-odd year career. Fasano lives on the Atlantic seaboard, and loves to go to the beach whenever she can, although actually getting in the water where creatures live is a different story. For more, visit her website.
Description:
A strange but ironclad condition in his grandfather’s will means Ben Danvers must get married or he’ll lose the family business. With the deadline rapidly approaching, Chelsea Carson approaches Ben with a win-win solution, a temporary marriage. If he’ll agree to her simple terms, she’ll get what she wants and Ben can save the business. A great professional arrangement for both, as long as love doesn’t enter the picture.
Harlequin previously published this book under Fasano’s Donna Clayton pen name. It has been updated, expanded, and re-edited for this Indie re-release.
Appraisal:
I’ve been pleasantly surprised to discover the diversity of character and plot possible in romance novels, despite the constraints of genre convention. Even though you know the hero and heroine will end up together, understanding the hurdles they must overcome and how they stumble their way to the happily-ever-after ending is entertaining. In the case of the better authors such as Fasano, they often provide insight or new perspectives into the human condition. His Wife for a While explores some of the things that get in the way of love blossoming and the importance of communication. If there is any truth to the cliché that “love makes the world go round,” I guess it makes sense that the quest for love in romance novels could help our understanding of the world.
FYI:
Some very mild sexual content.
Format/Typo Issues:
The review is based on a Beta copy. I can’t evaluate the final product in this area.
