This review is from: Sensible Wife (Harlequin Romance) (Paperback)

I loved this book, it is one of the funniest and most wildly romantic of Hart's marriage of convenience-style romances. This is about Deborah who is travelling in Indonesia when her belongings are all stolen. She is in a bit of bind already but now is even more so! Luckily - or unluckily Gil, an engineer who is living and working there is passing at the time and reluctantly helps her out.

To cut a long story short his fiance Debi has refused to come out to stay with him and he needs someone to help him with the work, and due to circumstances she needs to be married to him, in short, he needs a wife - a sensible wife.

Deborah really is not a sensible wife at all but she is prepared to try, only trouble is she doesn't really do what she is supposed to, she is hopeless at office work and typing and filing and all Gil seems to dois look at her in a disapproving fashion.

However Deborah is an enormously agreeable character and very easy to like and enjoy. You can see how the love grows between them. This very much reminds me of a Georgette Heyer romance. It has bright sparkling dialogue and good fun characters.
