The Wanted One by Tawdra Kandle - A Marriage of Convenience

 💖💖💖💖💖/5


The Wanted One by Tawdra Kandle, book twenty-five in the Love in a Small Town series, brings us back to Burton, GA, ash Lucie Robillard returns home to start a new life, wanting to open her own coffee bar and proving to herself that she doesn't need the family that never wanted her nor a life with her toxic ex. Wyatt Mayfield is a farmer and divorced single dad to his three-year-old daughter, Ruby; as her mother decided she didn't want to be tied down nor live on a farm. With his full-time nanny retiring and his ex-in-laws suing for custody, he needs to find someone immediately to step in to help. When their group of mutual friends decide that the perfect answer to Wyatt's need for help with Ruby is the same as the answer to Lucie's need for stability in order to secure funding for her business venture, they decide to accept the obvious solution and get married; as long as everyone agrees it's just a marriage of convenience.

Their first interactions might have been less than promising, to say the least; but it doesn't take long for the twists of life to intercede, bringing these two together in the most unconventional of ways. Their journey together with its unusual start isn’t going to be easy and, at times, gets downright bumpy, but it’s certainly worth the effort both for Lucie and Wyatt. It also doesn’t take long before Ruby to become attached to Lucie and vice versa. These three are meant to be a family, but there are a lot of hiccups of misunderstanding along the way for their happy-ever-after. This is marriage of convenience, small town romance is filled with lots of heart, as you share Lucie and Wyatt’s feelings of joy, pain, frustration, happiness, and most of all, love from beginning to end. If you've read any of the earlier books in this series, you don't want to miss this one; quite a few of the previous couples are highlighted, giving further insights into their own HEAs. I can’t wait to find out what happens when Lucie’s friend, Nash, attends his high school reunion in Florida.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
