Sara went to an Alaskan Island on the purpose of saving her teenage sister from a mail-ordered marriage to Ransom Shepard whom she wanted to cut to pieces once she met over a cliff. Unfortunately, she was met by many shocking things then, the least of which was her sister's resentful attitude to her! She was stranded in Ransom's island and had to live in his dirty beyond belief house with two messy dears! To top things up, Ransom was consistently teasing and seducing her!
To be honest, the first three chapters were really funny and engrossing, but the bantering between the two main characters eventually got on my nerves! It was an okay book, I guess.

A Bride For Ransom By Renee Roszel
Sara Eller is frantic by the time she arrives on the small Alaskan island from Kansas. Her sixteen year old sister has run off as a mail-order bride. Lynn is her only family and her responsibility. She's so strung out by the time she meets the handsome Ransom Shepard that she tears him up and spits him out with her words, only to find out he didn't marry Lynn. Time for humble pie. What's worse is she is stuck on the island for a week and has to accept his unhappy offer of hospitality. She's not so thrilled herself as he's quite difficult. By the second week she's trapped on the island, it's more a battle of her heart. And he's a man who has no plans of falling in love again.
This story is from Sara's point of view only. Her fear of dogs actually leads to some humorous situations that have nothing to do with dogs. Poor Sara's emotions run the gamut. From fear and anger over her sister being gone to disgust with what she sees when entering Rance's home and who, or I should say what, he allows to lounge on his couch. A really good and sweet story that keeps pulling the reader in to see what will happen next.

Tohle nebylo překvapivě ani trochu špatné. Konec sice určitě nerealistický, ale co už.
