Conveniently Married,
By
This review is from: A Marriage of Convenience (Mass Market Paperback)
Having been stood up at the altar, accounts cleaned out, and mounting debt, Tamara felt she had nothing to lose when her best offer was an opportunity to help a Ghanaian scientist in need of a green card. In A Marriage of Convenience, Author Jewel Amethyst shares with readers how marriage can make you or break you.
After Tamara's first attempt at marriage fell apart at the altar, the new house she purchased with hopes of living there with her new husband was in jeopardy of being lost. The fact that she was no longer employed put a major strain on her life and her job search garnered more disappointments than she could stand. Thankfully her best friend, Jordan, had her best interests at heart, floating her jobs that he could have kept for himself. It was also Jordan who asked Tamara to consider marrying his friend to help him get his green card. Dead set against marrying someone to help them remain in the US, Tamara reasoned with herself and finally decided that if she wanted to get rid of the debt she was in, marrying someone she did not have to have a relationship with might just be what she needed. Besides, trying to hold her own against her mother's advice was well worth moving forward with the marriage. Since it was required that the newly married couple prove that they lived together, Kwabena, Tamara's new husband of convenience moved into the basement of the house, allowing Tamara to have her space. However, the sparks that flew between them in an effort to keep things `business as usual,' turned into sparks of the loving kind, and they found themselves in each others arms as their marriage that was supposed to benefit them one way created another level of human emotion and sharing. Will Tamara and Kwabena allow the new sparks to grow into something more than convenience with benefits, or will they find true love with one another as they both learn more about the other and learn to appreciate what they see? I enjoyed A Marriage of Convenience because it is a boost for full-figured women and women with low self-esteem, encouraging them not to give up on finding true love. I recommend this book to readers of romance novels. Review by Sharel E. Gordon-Love APOOO BookClub

Loved it!,
By Lilly's Girl "truth seeker" (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Marriage of Convenience (Mass Market Paperback)
I absolutely loved this book! There were many dimensions I found entertaining--cultural differences, history, relationship development to name a few. This book was realistic because I am familiar with couples who married for reasons other than love and came to love and respect each other deeply. Also I liked that the heroine was not the typical overly beautiful female with no known flaws. Tamara and Kwabena worked through their problems and created a beautiful family together. By the way, they most definitely did get together in the end.

A beautiful love story,
By NC Bookworm "MEM113" (Triad, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Marriage of Convenience (Mass Market Paperback)
Jewel Amethyst's novel, A Marriage of Convenience, is a WINNER for romance lovers.
Tammy is full-figured and suffering from extremely low self esteem. Your heart breaks right alongside hers when she's stood up at the altar. But she turns the would-be wedding into a helluva party, secretly crying in her punch to her mom and best friend Jordan. Best friends since grade school and the best "play brother" a girl could hope for -- Tammy trusts Jordan completely. If possible, Tammy's year accelerates into a downward spiral leaving her financially desperate enough to accept Jordan's proposal that she marry his friend Kwabena Opoku so that he can receive his green card and remain in the US. Jordan explains that Kwabena or "Ben" will pay her for this "marriage of convenience" and they can divorce once he receives his green card. A little strange, but if Jordan recommends Ben then he must be ok, right? After all, desperate times call for desperate measures. The relationship shifts when Tammy and Ben are required to share a residence in order to move the green card process along. It's true that you don't know someone until you live with them. And, even then, how well do you know them ... Tammy and Ben are complete opposites. Ben is a physically fit, confident, and sexy extrovert while Tammy is an overweight, self-doubting, and shy introvert. These two opposites attract; sparks begin to fly and a beautiful bond grounded in friendship develops. But, can you really trust, that this gorgeous man who can have any woman he wants, honestly desires this full-figured, self-doubting heroine? I've read 100's of romance novels and this novel was like a perfect first date where everything falls into place. The date looks good. The conversation is good. The food is good. The movie is good. And you can't wait until the next date. That's what I think of Jewel Amethyst's first novel--A Marriage of Convenience is Delightful.
