The Un-Arranged Marriage by Laura Brown - An Un-Expected Delight

 

💖💖💖💖💖

I really enjoyed Shaina and Mark’s unexpected romance in The Un-Arranged Marriage by Laura Brown. Imagine having your bff mothers un-officially arrange your marriage immediately after you are born ten-days apart. This is what happens to Shaina and Mark. Growing up, Shaina and Mark grew to hate each other. It took riding together to his sister’s wedding preparations for Mark to realize that Shaina has a hearing loss and cannot hear him. After asking for help, Mark impresses Shaina once he starts speaking loud enough for her to hear him; causing her walls of hatred for him to start falling. After all, Mark is quite hot, has a great sense of humor, and they share many similar interests. For Mark, being demisexual means attraction isn’t easy; but getting to know Shaina for really the first time, he finds himself paying more and more attention to her. When a major competition for a paid dream trip to Italy is offered, Shaina and Mark, the only singles, team up together. As they work together to win the competition, they soon realize their hate is over-rated, soon replaced by an unexpected sizzling chemistry. That childhood competiveness did come in handy as they worked through the clues.  No matter how strong their feelings grow, they refuse to give in to their parent’s wishes; or do they?

 

Ms. Brown wrote a story that is inclusive of people with a hearing impairment or who are open about being demisexual, as well as wonderful and heartwarming that is definitely not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sizzling chemistry, amusing banter, and endearing characters giving Shaina and Mark an unexpected chance at a future together. I highly recommend The Un-Arranged Marriage to other readers.
