Review: Marrying William

✩✩✩

The only solution was -- marriage...

Betangera Beach Farm didn't belong to Jenni, but it could -- if she stayed married for one year. If she didn't, her cousin Ronald would inherit from his mother, and evict her. Could she find a husband at such short notice? More importantly, did she want to?

William's arrival, offering marriage, was a shock. He simply didn't want Ronald to inherit. But William was surprised by the hold his old family farm still had on him, and the growing delight he found in Jenni's company. Did he really think he could walk away after the year was up? Suddenly, he wasn't at all sure.

Genre: contemporary romance

Publication date: November 1999

Mature content: yes, but nothing overly graphical

 

Review: I found a paperback version of this book in my mother’s stuff and decided to give it a try (there seems to be no other format available other than paperback anyway, at least not on Amazon. 

It’s an easy book to read, not as outdated as I initially feared, and I actually liked both main characters very much. But..it’s completely predictable, and not even jenni’s mean cousin (William’s step brother Ronald) create sufficient suspense - mostly because we know he’s the culprit right from the start, and we’re mostly told what he’s capable of.

I also didn’t uderstand the reason for jenni and Williams fake marriage - if jennis aunt didn’t really love her and wanted her son Ronald to have the farm, why make up a clause in her will about the marriage, something that apparently was very easy to sort out between jenni and William? 

 

So, Marrying William is a fun book, and I do enjoy these older romances once in a while, but not one I would actively recommend - especially given the limited purchase options available.

 

Happy readings,
