WHEN WAS SHE WOOED?

Though I enjoyed this book, I must admit that I felt that the relationship between Maggie and Ryan grew too fast with little detail. I do believe that someone can fall in love quickly, I even believe in "love at first sight", but give me some details to work with. Towards the end of the story, after Maggie and Ryan had wed, it felt as if their love blossomed to quickly. Where was the romance, the wooing, the funny moments all newlywed couples go through when they first share a home? Don't get me wrong, it was a sweet story, but I feel that it could've been better. It's potential was not reached. Read it and see what you think.

A fun read

For the past two decades, Ryan Lassiter lived with his grandfather Nathan on the older man's Wyoming ranch. The two males have a special bond that can only come from a deep, abiding love and respect for one another. However, the duo are hopelessly at odds over Ryan getting married. Nathan wants the four-generation-owned ranch to pass to Ryan and ultimately to Ryan's children. However, Ryan has no intention of wedding anyone after obtaining a divorce following his marriage to his ranching neighbor, who is his grandfather's first choice.Once Ryan realizes how serious Nathan is, he puts his own plan in motion. He hastily marries a non-ranching friend, Maggie Drummond, expecting no more than a companion and a soul to keep Nathan off his back. He has no plan beyond the Vegas ceremony. Most critical, Ryan anticipated family interference, but never expected love to intercede.THE MARRIAGE is a fun contemporary romance that shows why Dallas Schultz has such a strong fan following. In the word processor of a lesser mortal, a ranching marriage of convenience storyline would flop more than Dick Fosbury ever did. However, Ms. Schultz makes her characters come alive and their personal dilemmas feel like they are truly sharing them with the reader. This book is a passionate work by one of the grandmasters of romance.Harriet Klausner
