Rilo An comes from a world where there are no women. What he longs for is a life mate: someone who'll complete him, someone he can love who'll love him back, someone who'll ease the aching loneliness that haunts his life.

So he leaves his world, takes on the Earth name Chris West, and makes a payment to Star Systems Unlimited for a life mate. When he bonds with Caitlyn Davis, he thinks life can't get any better. But she was married before, and memories of her deceased husband still linger around her home. Will he find a place in her heart or will he have to become like her first husband in order to get her love?

Summary:

Okay, I have to be a bit careful here, as I don't want anyone to think that I am slagging off the book or the author, which I most definitely am not.

My first Novel by Ruth Nordin was at first dismissed as awful, but then when I literally had nothing else to read I forced myself, and secretly enjoyed it.  There is something endearing about the cheesiness of her novels.  At first I thought that was an accident, but as I've read a few more I've decided that it can only be by design.

This here book, was a little confusing at the start, but go going.  Chris, the main character was so naive and sweet I actually loved him.

It's not a huge literary work, but it does delivery in the happiness and cute spectrum, and especially where I've been in my head the last day or so, it has been a welcome treat.

Not badly priced at £1.93 for this 3.5 star read (probably 3 stars on Amazon).  Give it a go if you are looking for light and frothy.

#309 (#27 of 2013) - The Earl's Inconvenient Wife ~ Ruth Ann Nordin

Description:

Nathaniel Buford, Earl of Roderick, doesn't want a wife, but his brother died, passing on the title of earl to him. Now he is bound by duty to get an heir. Unfortunately, to get the heir, he must find a wife. As luck would have it, he gets caught in a scandalous situation not of his doing, and the next thing he knows, he's married...and to a lady whose family is reported to desire money above all else.

Miss Claire Lowell wanted to get married. But she never intended to marry a gentleman who felt trapped into it, and she certainly never thought her family would have a hand in the scandal that forced Lord Roderick's hand in marriage. Can love find a way to thrive under such conditions or will her father's eagerness to see her married off to an earl condemn her to a loveless marriage?

This was one of my Amazon Freebie Kindle Downloads from the other day, but I've just gone to update this post after reading it and I noticed that it's now listed as 77p.  Just shows you have to be quick sometimes to bag these free downloads.

It's not too long - 232 pages.

* * * *

Summary:

I had thought that I'd read this before, and after reading it ... I was right, I have read it before.

No matter it whiled away a morning spent in a Hosptial waiting room effectively.  It wasn't all that bad, especially as I bagged it as a Kindle Freebie download.  Although, it's currently listed at 77p.

Would I pay that for it .... the answer is probably yes I would, as it is 232 pages of undemanding writing by this author, with a little humour added in.  Other offerings by her I have in the past picked holes in, but this was average and contained some of the usual "Americanisms".

Additionally, I would very much like to find out if Perry finds a wife ... he deserves one I feel.

I always feel with Ms Nordin that if only she went just that bit further her books could be very, very good indeed.  They just lack a little something .... I don't think I can easily define exactly what that would be though.  Possibly if she developed the humorous, and added a little bit of meat to the plot (thus making her books a bit longer) that could do it.

As far as rating is concerned, I would say it was a 3.5 really, but as Amazon don't do half stars, I will go for a 3 stars.

Daily Freebie Amazon Kindle Download Selection

The Earl's Inconvenient Wife ~ Ruth Ann Nordin

Actually, this one has been available as a freebie since before Christmas, so I thought it would be today's suggestion for the Amazon Kindle Freebie Download.

I've just started reading it myself, and have a vague recollection that I've read it/partially read it before, but what the heck, I haven't done a review on it.  As I can't remember the plot I'm going to push ahead this morning as I have some spare time and read it anyway.

The link to the download at Amazon is at the top of this post, of to save you the trouble of scrolling up click HERE.

My Amazon Reviewer status has risen to 38,895.  I would love to improve upon this though .... so if you find the Daily Kindle Download info useful please go over to my Reviews on Amazon and leave me some positive feedback - which helps my rating, and will earn you my grateful thanks.

ISBN or e-book:

Not known, I bought as Kindle e-book from Amazon

Publisher:

Not known

Main Characters:

Sue Lewis and Jake Mitchell

Brief outline of Plot:

Need to add details

Rating and conclusion:

Need to add - just bear with me I am behind, as I found quite a few on the Kindle that I had not added to the list.

It was bizarre to say the best.  I found it not particularly well written .... but to the point where it was so bad it was actually amusing.  Which kept me turning the pages to see how bad it could actually get before I called time.  I reached the end therefore a 2 star rating. I would try another one of her books to see if this was a one-off!
