Get Your Copy An Act Of Love Constructed By Marion Ekholm Distributed As Bound Copy
book was fun and romantic! It is well written and I love it! If you've been looking for a story that keeps you giggling as you read, here's one.
The author's presentation continued to tickle my funny bone as I read and got to know Marley Roman, oldest of five daughters and the only one not yet married, Even her divorced mother intends to retie the knot to the husband who walked out on her years earlier, Then their Brant Westfield, Marley's next door neighbor in their condo building, and actorcowboy,
Not thrilled to have to participate in yet another sister's wedding, Marley takes her best friend's advice and decides that a fake engagement is the thing to do.
Against her better judgment, she enlists the help of Brant, who's been eager to get to know her anyway, When the ring she pays for at a local pawn shop is accidentally exchanged for a,one !, Brant shows up to retrieve the expensive ring
and what follows resembles a comedy of errors piling on one after the other, each pushing and pulling Marley first toward Brant and then toward her exboyfriend, who regrets having lost her before and wants to make ahem amends.
Giggles throughout, even to the ending that points to an elopement in Las Vegas! Just by reading the title, An Act of Love, you can get the author's double meaning.
I really liked the premiseMarley is tired of having her family harp on her about getting married and doesn't want to attend her youngest sister's wedding in Pennsylvania "unattached", She fabricates a fiancé but uses the name and picture her real next door neighbor, Brant, in Phoenix to provide the details, Once Brant gets wind of her scheme, her really gets into the "act", I loved Brant's character, but found Marley to be a bit over reactive and wishywashy, Overall it wasn't a bad romance, Marley Roman's the family peacemaker and surrogate mother to hersisters, When she returns home for her youngest sister's wedding, she pretends to have a fiance to avoid their questioning, Except the fiance shows up for real, and he wants to make the engagement for real, There are lots of funny scenes, but the romance growing between the two of them is very sweet, I hope to see more from this author,
She's not getting married, She's only engaged!
Marley Roman should have already known that romantic plots hatched with her best friend Dede were doomed, But a fake engagement seemed like the only way for her, as the last old maid in the bunch, to endure her youngest sister's wedding, Armed with a phony ring and a plausible story about a fianc loosely based on her overly friendly, cowboyturnedactor neighbour, Brant Westfield, she was ready to faceand foolher family, But between her exboyfriend Richard's unexpected role in the wedding party and Brant's sudden arrival to join the fun, the holes in her plan are growing, . . and multiplying!.
