Book Review - An Unsuitable Husband by Ros Clarke



My Thoughts

Theresa and Emile meet at a club spending the night dancing and in bed together. The next morning after Emile shares that his ex-girlfriend is stalking him, Theresa jokes that getting married would solve both their problems as her mother keeps trying to play matchmaker for her. Emile is exactly the opposite of who her mother would want her to marry and it would make her crazy. While they have enjoyed their time together, they go their separate ways. 

Emile finds himself in a bind after a fight with one of his teammates. His teammate's girlfriend has made up a story that they have had an affair and gone to the tabloids with it. This on top of other bad publicity puts him in the position of needing to fix this situation and thinks of Theresa's proposition. He approaches her and she agrees to get married.

What I really loved about Theresa and Emile together is that Emile challenged her to not be so serious and lighten up a bit. The first dinner with her parents when he just speaks his mind made me laugh out loud. I love that he wouldn't let her go. He fought for her.

I give An Unsuitable Husband 4 hearts!

About the Book

Theresa Chartley has no time for marriage, and no room for disappointment--especially with French soccer player Emile Renaud. Sure, he’s gorgeous, but he’s wrong for a career woman like Theresa. If only her mother would stop pressuring her to get married and let her live her own life. Finding a very unsuitable husband to shock her parents into silence and put an end to the marriage campaign is the only answer. Emile will do just fine.

Theresa’s outrageous proposal is the answer to Emile’s problem. They’re complete opposites living in different worlds, but a fake marriage will let him ditch his clingy ex once and for all. Then he’ll be free of commitment and free to live his life the way he wants to.

A contract. Twelve months. And they walk away scot-free.  But a year of marriage tests them both in unimaginable ways. Maybe Emile isn’t unsuitable after all, but how can Theresa let herself love him when she signed a contract to let him go?

About the Author

Ros is a writer, a church worker, a crafter, a blogger, a twitterer, a lazy gardener, and an appalling housekeeper. She lives in a sixteenth century shed in England and is very glad that it has twenty-first century plumbing. She is interested in almost everything except cricket and football (US and UK) and mostly she likes happy endings in fiction and in real life. Ros has been writing stories for as long as she can remember, never dreaming that other people would be interested in reading them. A few years ago, she discovered a writing forum on the internet, and has never looked back. Her head-and her hard drive-are full of ideas for fresh, fun, contemporary romances that she hopes you'll love as much as she does.
