Always on the lookout for the next big
story, journalist Julie comes across an ad by a guy named Andy…Andy
Devine. Yes, just like the character
actor from back in the 1930’s through the 60’s. But he doesn’t look anything
like THAT Andy Devine. And the ad? A broadside posted on a utility pole…for a
wife. Unable to resist such an interesting
way to find a wife Julie shows up at the … interview. After checking out an array of women – old,
young, tall, short, thin, fat, blonde, brunette and red headed, he announces to
Julie she’s the one he wants to marry.
The marriage comes with certain
requirements not the least of which is getting pregnant in three months. Julie isn’t too keen on the idea but
ultimately agrees and before she knows it she’s living out on a farm with no
cell coverage or other modern amenities.
And things go downhill from there…or uphill? Before long she finds herself falling in love
with the tall, dark and utterly gorgeous, if off beat man.
But then secrets start to see the light of
day. Both Julie and Andy have their fair
share of secrets, each with one very big one.
Can they overcome those secrets or will they forever keep them apart?
Given my commute and lack of places to
venture out to at lunch I often read a book every 2-3 days. Gwen Jones’s WANTED WIFE was not one of those
books that I picked up, quickly got into and read during my free time. I had to keep picking it up over several
weeks and would have put it aside once and for all if it weren’t for review. The premise was interesting and had some
great potential. It was a pretty novel
idea. Unfortunately the characters just
didn’t delivery. I couldn’t relate to
them, didn’t care about them and sat there wondering just what Julie was
thinking going into this marriage. Life
on the farm wasn’t funny and when Andy assists in one his cow’s birth – without
having had any prior training – the story lost me.
There were a few parts that were
entertaining and the sex scenes were okay.
It just wasn’t my kind of book.
This is an objective review and not an endorsement of
this book.
