His Hired Bride

I been looking forward to reading this book. And I enjoy reading this series of Contract Brides . I enjoy the characters and their story they are telling me too.

I have most (if not all) of Susan Fox's books and this has become a favorite which I return to again and again. Sure it doesn't have all the angst of some of her other novels but I find Eadie and Holt to be very believable characters. I like that Eadie is strong in her own right and can stand on her own. Yes, the 5 years unrequited love is a flaw of the book as it is difficult to believe that two such forthright characters, especially Holt, would eat their hearts out for so long without doing something about it. However, they are very "real" characters. I find them to be a good match for each other and I have no trouble believing that they are a couple that will last the test of time which is what romance is all about.

This is not one of Ms Fox's best. Most of her books twist your heart right out of your body. This one was too, I don't know every day. Eadie Webb is in love with Holt Donovan, he has to get into a bad accident before he realizes he is attracted to Eadie. But when he does he goes after her. This book was slow, and I am too spoiled by the other Susan Fox books. But be sure you get the Susan Fox that isn't about rats, mice or lesbians.
