What a fun read...lovers of mature romances, don't miss this
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
When Marge Winters decides to answer an ad in the paper for a manager at a Bed and Breakfast, she has no idea what she's getting herself into. But she's decided that her life has gotten into too deep of a groove since her husbands death 5 years ago, what with her living with her daughter and watching her kids making her whole life. She needs some change, and although she's never had any experience except for being in charge of her own household, what can it hurt to try? After hiring Marge, W.G. Preston tells her to return on a certain date. Upon Marge's return, Preston springs on her that his plans are a little different than he'd first let on. Not exactly looking for a manager for the B & B-really he's looking for a wife. And Marge has made the short list-along with 7 other women who range from Southern Belle's to Betty Crocker, to vamp. But what the heck-the man is paying them all well, why shouldn't she try this out? And it's not long before Marge realizes that there's much more to Preston than she'd first thought-and although she disagrees with the way he's going about eliminating women, she just can't manage to pull herself away from the attraction and affection she feels for the man. In a wonderful story underlined with a deep seated message that one should have faith in God, the McAdoo's do an wonderful job of keeping us entertained by the houseful of women who all have different ways, and different goals-and are all determined to meet them. As you can imagine, the sparks fly between some of the women, while in other cases solid friendships are built. We get to see that Preston has some deep-seated fears and reasons for what he's doing, and even while hating some it, he thinks it's necessary. While I have to admit that I wish some of the character development would have gone deeper, and almost feel like I missed out on part of the story that was just alluded to, this was a wonderfully written, feel good book. I read it in one sitting, and could easily have gobbled up the other 100 pages I wish there had been. For lovers of not only mature romance, but inspirational romances, this is definitely a book you don't want to miss.
