Maddie Summers is tired of waiting. To force her fiance into making a decision, she takes him on a talk show and gives him a choice: Marry me, or move on. The line he gives makes her realize it is time to star in her own life. But stealing the show will require a script change worthy of a Tony. Her supporting cast is composed of two loving but overprotective brothers, her blue-blood ex-boyfriend, and her brothers' best friend: sexy bad-boy Chase Holloway -- the only one who seems to recognize that a certain knock-kneed kid sister has grown up to be a knockout lady. And Chase doesn't seem to know how to bow out, even when the competition for her hand heats up. Instead, he promises to perform a song and dance, even ad-lib if necessary to demonstrate he is her true leading man.

Lovable and laughable -- Highly recommended,
By
This review is from: Marry Me, Maddie (Time of Your Life) (Mass Market Paperback)
When Maddie Summers challenges her boyfriend of four years to "Marry Me or Move On," on her best friend's talk show, plans backfire and she finds herself single once again. Maddie refuses to forego her own dreams to serve cocktails to any man's business partners in order to elevate him on the social pedestal. So now she plans to play the field, maybe date twenty or thirty men, and have fun. And when she marries, she wants someone who is hot, and someone who won't ask her to trade her independence for his goals. Chase can't help appreciating the changes in Maddie, from her curvaceous figure to her newly single status. But Maddie is his best friends, heck, his blood brother's kid sister. Which means she's practically his own sister, and he has to keep his hands off. Worse, Chase considers himself a jailbird's son, and doesn't believe he should ever marry. Chase had some pretty good pointers on boys when Maddie was twelve, and she tells herself that she's supposed to be forgetting men, not fantasizing about her brothers' best friend. Despite both of their best intentions, however, circumstances throw them together in business and in private. Include Maddie's interfering, yet well meaning, brothers and the result is humorously delightful! Rita Herron's lovable, laughable style sparkles in MARRY ME, MADDIE. From talk shows to a nudist colony, this irrepressible heroine and her over-protective brothers will keep the reader in stitches. The multi-layered plot lends depth without becoming too serious, keeping the pace moving smartly along. The depth of characterization presents believable, imperfect people with big hearts and way of stepping into heated trouble. Without a doubt, Rita Herron's rising star boldly shines in MARRY ME, MADDIE. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Amusing contemporary romance,
This review is from: Marry Me, Maddie (Time of Your Life) (Mass Market Paperback)
Maddie Summers agrees to becoming a guest on her friend's popular Savannah TV show, Sophie Knows. The Valentine's Day theme is "Marry Me or Move On" and Maddie will confront her boyfriend Jeffrey Oglethorpe with that choice on local TV. Jeffrey prefers tabling marriage so Maddie says she will date others ending their long-term relationship. Maddie decides to concentrate on her decorating businesses and tries to persuade her two siblings and their blood brother/partner Chase Holloway to hire her to do their homes. Because her tastes run a bit different than her brothers, Chase is assigned the role to keep Maddie in line. This task he truly desires because he is willing to go on Sophie Knows to state that he will gladly marry her. MARRY ME MADDIE is a very amusing contemporary romance though this reviewer must wonder what type of friend sets up a buddy for potential failure on TV. The story line is humorous as Maddie and Chase begin to fall in love while her brothers want to shotgun (with their fists) Jeffrey into marrying their sister. Sub-genre fans will want more jocular sequels starring several key secondary players from Rita Herron. Harriet Klausner
