Relation In Favor Of Books The Substitute Wife

When Luke Quintain's fiancee dumped him, Catherine Lang understood immediately that she was the perfect solution to his problem. Leggy, flame haired and wise beyond her years, she decided that he should marry her instead.

But even though Luke needed a wife by his thirty-sixth birthday or he would lose his inheritance, he had to say "No!" Well, that was what he tried to say, but somehow Cat left with a ring on her finger and a wedding date on her calendar. And Luke could only curse his grandfather's positively medieval blackmailing scheme...and count the seconds till the wedding night.

Cat, of course, knows her own mind -- and her own heart -- and she wants Luke. Meanwhile, Luke is wondering how long this will play out, and hoping that it might be a little longer with each passing day. The problem is, he's quite capable of doing something very stupid -- like falling for Cat.

Because sometimes love just doesn't take no for an answer.

Critique Regarding Books The Substitute Wife

I was pleasantly surprised with this book! My grandma, mom, and some of our friends/family have a book rotation and this was one of the books within that rotation that I had put off reading because I thought the cover looked too "old" for me. IT WAS GREAT! I was totally engrossed with the story and was surprised to be irritated that I had to put it down to do normal things like work, eat, and sleep - haha! The story line was predictable, but was such an easy light read and was a nice break from

Revisited this one and I wanted to give it another star because the writing is good and the characters have depth, but the ending was just so abrupt it could never be more than an HFN. He barely says the ILY and then it ends on a small joke. I mean this is supposed to be a romance isn't it?#####################I admit that I skimmed through a fair bit of it. Yep, the H is a complete ass. I think his gesture of contrition at the end was supposed to be humorous, but really just came off as lame to

The Substitute Wife is a modern-day marriage of convenience romance. This book is well written, a nice length (384 pages), and has great secondary characters with their own side plot. I knew heading in, it wouldnt be a super serious book, but it has a quirky feel to it. The h reminded me a tad of Daisy in Kiss an Angel, but the H is no Alex. The MCs banter a lot, and some might find it cute or funny, but I found it a bit neurotic with the dialogue bouncing all over the placeand the endless

3.5 Could've Been 4 StarsI really enjoyed this story up until the 80% mark when the hero reverted back to his lowest denominator and pretty much stayed there. I loved Cat but Luke needed some serious growth, even by 2003 standards. No grovel after a major fuck up means no bueno for me.

What Becky said:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I enjoyed this very much until I got to the ridiculous behavior of the hero with the OW. I think he got off too easily. While we, the reader, knew the emptiness and fear that drove him to that action, I don't see how the heroine could have understood based on what he told her. More grovel, please. This is a story where I would have liked to see an epilogue with the hero finally understanding what a family could be and seeing him comfortable in that role. BTW, I loved all the found families

Really well written but hero was just not a romance hero. Hero is a whiny, selfish child. Not masculine, powerful or alpha, or a tender beta, and not loveable (heroine's love for him is inexplicable). (view spoiler)[ When he cheats (deliberately and self-indulgently...being perfectly self-righteous about it, and feeling lust for another woman), at first it feels inexplicable and then you realize you were fooled into believing he's a better man than he really is. This was real cheating, on a
