A Hasty Betrothal by Jessica Nelson
4.0
Full disclosure, I got this book as a free gift from Harlequin after sending in a slip thing, but they didn't specifically choose me to send it to for review or anything.
This was a pretty cute story. Parts of it were predictable, but there's nothing wrong with that as long as it's still enjoyable, and it was still enjoyable. It's about a hasty marriage of convenience between two people, so the woman could avoid becoming a "ruined woman" in the public eye, which is an annoying idea, but it also works with the time period, so I can't be mad about it, really. Everything in regards to the couple and how they interact is obvious and predictable, but again, it didn't bother me, because I liked the characters. The protagonist is a shy bookworm and her love interest is an old childhood friend of hers that happens to be a successful businessman. It's definitely a cute Christian romance, and worth a read if you're in the mood for something light and fluffy.
