Wanted: An Honest Man (The Lindsey Lark Series Book 1) by Cricket Rohman is a well-written book and charmingly written. Lindsey has just gone through a divorce, but despite that, still believes in the kind of love that is a fairy tale. As a teacher, she has a lot going on in her life. A new man piques her interest, but is she ready for that especially with all of the strange happenings going on in her life? This is a fun read, the writing has a light touch that pulls you in. The atmosphere and scenery are well-described and create a real sense of time and place. Well-described characters round out the story. A fun read and recommended.

In the book Wanted An Honest Man Lindsey Lark number one by cricket Ramen we of course meet Lindsay Lark a kindergarten teacher who after going home with the flu fines her husband Anthony in bed with another woman. Needless to say they separate because he is in love with Shawna a dancer at a nightclub called The Office and at first Lindsay is devastated. To make matters worse he even takes Wendle they’re great mastiff who Lindsay loves. So when she orders Chinese food and handsome college student Jake delivers it the teacher is surprised to see he has her dog with him. She finds out he is dog sitting for Shauna something that infuriates Lindsay. It isn’t long before her and Jake become friends but Jake has a secret. Soon however in the act of trying to get her self together her and her friend Laura take a vacation where she meets Emmett. He seems like such a proper gentleman after saving her and her best friend from dying in the snowy gorge but unfortunately like most men in Lindsey‘s life he two as a secret. Unfortunately for Lindsay it doesn’t seem like her year but things only get worse when she starts getting crank calls from a man she doesn’t know but seems to know her. Will Lindsay ever pull it together and be happy again will her life ever mirror the fairy tales she loves so much? Will she ever meet her prince charming or has she already met him? There’s so much more to the book, Wendle gets hit by a car Lindsay gets a pet bird Malcolm but will she ever get her Mr. right? Let me just say I read a lot of books sometimes more than two books a day and when I said this book was so good that I couldn’t put it down you can trust me. I have read some horrible books and some really great ones but I do think wanted an honest man is a book in a category all it’s own. I cannot wait to read the other books in this Siri‘s The characters in this book are wonderful… Well with the exception of Anthony, Emmett, Shawna and Sean but everyone else is awesome. Lindsay is so lovable in this book is a great one if you love romance with a little drama you will definitely love this book. I certainly did. Please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

Review of Wanted: An Honest Man by Cricket Rohman
I have reviewed a few books from this author and have always enjoyed them. I decided it was time to start reading more of her works. I'm starting this project with Lindsey Lark #1 - Wanted: An Honest Man.
The Quick Thoughts:
I loved the connection with believing in Fairytales. The book reads smoothly and quickly. Themes: Romance, Light-suspense, Divorce, Childhood trauma, Teachers, Bestfriends, Starting over, LGBTQIA
Overall:
Wanted: An Honest Man is an easy read with a few spots that get pretty deep. You can keep it light or delve deeper into the problems the characters encounter.
There is enough mystery thread woven through the story to keep you turning the pages. Several plot twists occurred, some I saw coming, and a few were complete surprises.
The characters have flaws, and I was quick to love or despise several people. A few I waffled on several times, there's your intrigue. As always in Ms. Rohman's novels, there is a fabulous dog. I need Wendall to visit me.
This book is the first in a series. There were no cliffhangers, but you are left wanting to know more.
Fans of romantic intrigue should enjoy this book immensely. Although, for me, friendship was also a compelling theme throughout.
This review is my honest, unbiased opinion of a book I purchased.
This review was also published on my website found in my bio.
