The Vow

Remembrance, Indiana #2

by Dallas Schulze

Pregnant and alone, Brittany was struggling to make a life for herself and her unborn child. The death of the man she loved had shattered her world, left her without support. Without Dan, she had nothing and no one. Except Michael Sinclair, Dan's best friend. Michael was kind and strong and he wanted to help her through this difficult time. How could she refuse his offer of marriage, his promise of a place to shelter until the baby was born, until she could get her feet under her again. Michael told himself that marrying Brittany was a last favor for his dead friend. It had nothing to do with the way Brittany made him feel, with his growing feelings for the child she carried. Making a life with Brittany, planning for the birth of her child - a child that felt more like his own with every passing day - it felt so right. Was it too much to hope that Brittany felt the same? Too much to dream that this temporary marriage could become something real and lasting?

Better than the first one.

I absolutely LOVE marriage of convenience stories. As a result, I've read tons of them, and some are good, and some stink. This one was very well done. I liked how the Brittany was a strong woman, instead of the weak, clinging women you often find in romance. I also liked how the author had their love slowly grow, and that they didn't immediately hop into bed together just because they were married.

Though I could see the plot twist at the end coming from a mile away, it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story. The only complaint I had about this book was that it was too short. I would have enjoyed for it to be about a third longer. Not that the story felt at all rushed, but I would have wanted some more time with the characters because I loved them all so much.

This is a very quick read and lots of fun. The father of the unborn baby is presumed dead and best friend Michael’s steps in and marries Brittany. What starts as a marriage of convenience ends in one of love

The hero was irritating. He rushes in to save the day but he remained to closed off emmtionally for my taste. In the sequel, he still remain emmotionally disgusting. The premise of the story, and the heroines good nature made the book good. His communications skills sucked.
