4.0 out of 5 stars Best of the series, December 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Marriage On Demand (Hometown Hearbreakers) (Silhouette Special Edition) (Paperback)

Back Cover description: MARRIAGE ON DEMAND. To hear Glenwood's womenfolk whisper, notorious Austin Lucas was temptation incarnate. Delicious as forbidden sin, he even tempted bashful, cherubic Rebecca Chambers. But, amid countless adoring females, he'd never notice the tongue-tied do-gooder. So who'd have thought that a stormy night and a blushing request would have Austin bedding innocent Rebecca? Or that, after the unspeakably sexy fact, he'd make an honest woman of her? Had the small-town saint led the sinner to salvation? Or would Austin merely give his child a name--and Rebecca everlasting heartache?

I wanted to give it 3 stars but because it is the best in the series, I gave it four. All the brothers and their half-sister get their own story. I've read them all, just not in order. Rebecca's character in THE BEST BRIDE, seemed somewhat stronger then in this one. Also she is in charge of a home for unwanted/orphaned children and can't remember to use birth control! And Austin, who brings his lovers to his home has no condoms anywhere? This just strained my belief somewhat. If you can get over this, the story moves along and develops with a nice pace and likable people.

This review is from: Marriage On Demand (Hometown Hearbreakers) (Silhouette Special Edition) (Paperback)

This book has a very nice flow -- it is a quick read -- very nice characters. The only negative -- I felt that the man (Austin) was a bit too victimized near the end. He insisted on the marriage and then spent a good portion of the rest of the book trying to talk himself out of it... Well the ending was very happy....

4.0 out of 5 stars a fun read, July 24, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Marriage on Demand (Silhouette Special Edition Large Print) (Hardcover)

This certainly was a fun light read, a pairing of opposites that lets sparks fly. There was a cute plot including orphans and the hurtfull casualties they've endured, but that is deffinitely not the focal point. Its a good book for when you're looking for a break, i'd love to see a couple of the characters (namely Kyle and Jordan) in their own books. Take an hour off and plunk down on the couch with Marriage on Demand
