Hey guys its Jessica. Sorry I’ve been MIA for so long. I apologize for the long overdue wait for Janet’s next book. You’ve all been very patient and loyal fans that she loves. She has been working on this book over the last year and a half while dealing with her battle with cancer. It saddens me to say that she peacefully lost this battle this past weekend while her family was by her side. I apologize if this feels sudden, she was a very private person even to her family. And she truly thought of all of you as her family. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

After seeing how happy his two brothers are in their marriages, Jesse Sinclair decrees it's time to find a wife. Since Maine is where Jesse's brothers found their wives, Jesse decides to build his dream house for his future family on a small Maine island. Finding the right girl doesn't take long. Jesse picks up Cadi Glace whose car has left her stranded along the road. But when Cadi informs him she is on her way to visit her fiance, Jesse believes he may have to work to win her over.
I read the first two books in Janet Chapman's Sinclair Brothers series a few years ago. They were cute contemporary romances but no very memorable. This book started out fine, but quickly lost steam. I never felt like I got to know the main characters. The pacing was uneven and I ended up skimming parts of the story. My rating: 2 Stars.

Really fun book. I spent a large portion of the book laughing out loud at the conversations and other antics that went on. Jesse has been envious of his brothers' happiness in their new lives and decided that he wanted the same thing. But his busy life in New York didn't seem to lend itself to finding Ms. Right, so following in their footsteps he has headed to Maine. He bought an island (Hundred Acre Island) and planned the perfect house for his future family. Six months later he has come back to Castle Cove to check on the progress of the plans. What he gets is a series of unfortunate events that throws all his plans into turmoil.
Cadi Glace is the woman who makes the 3D models for the firm owned by her father and his partner. Shortly before her father's death, she and the partner got engaged, and she has continued doing the models. Cadi has grown up in Castle Cove, only leaving to go to college, before coming right back home. As Jesse arrives in town, he sees Cadi watching her car burn. Being a gentleman, he stops to assist her, and gives her a ride. She is headed the same place he is - the architectural office. He's a couple days early to see his model and she's got a surprise birthday party planned for her fiance. The surprise is on her, as what she finds rocks her world.
This event sets the tone for the whole book as it turns out things aren't quite like they appear. I felt for Jesse as his house models are destroyed before he really gets a look at them. Cadi is understandably distressed by what she found, but not for the reason you would think. As she seeks to escape the pitying looks of the townspeople, she ends up hiding in Jesse's camper, where he finds her after driving to the harbor. She's quite drunk, and Jesse's protective instincts have him taking care of her.
Jesse is smitten by Cadi from the beginning. She is so different from the women he dates that he is intrigued by her. But as far as he knows, she is still engaged, so she's off limits. When he finds out that she has ended the engagement, he is determined to pursue her himself. Cadi is wary, because she sees herself as a small town girl, with no experience outside her small town. She doesn't see how he could truly be interested in her. SHe also sees that she has spent her life being what other people need, to the point where she has lost sight of her own needs. She takes the opportunity for some soul-searching and plans to set out on her own, to experience all those things she has missed out on.
Before Jesse can make his interest known, a business emergency calls him out of the country. I loved the conversation with his brothers, as he tries desperately to get one of them to deal with it. While he is gone, Cadi's boss and ex-fiance discovers that his brother has gotten involved with crook, and that he is the same man that Stanley has committed to designing a house for. Unfortunately, this same man has taken a shine to Cadi and has made it clear that nothing will keep him away from her.
Suddenly Stanley is no longer the mild-mannered architect, and I loved seeing how he takes charge of making sure that Cadi understands just what kind of danger she is in. His instructions to her were great, and her reactions were fun to watch. But Cadi also has a mind of her own, and is a lot more independent and capable than she believes. While she takes the need to disappear to heart, the way she goes about it was unexpected.
I loved how Jesse arrived back in Maine earlier than expected because he was so anxious to see her again. He was disturbed to discover the danger she was in, and determined to find her and protect her. I thoroughly enjoyed his efforts in tracking her down. His stunned surprise in finding out just where she has been hiding was hilarious, especially the way he found out. I loved seeing how the early misunderstanding continues, with Cadi taking advantage of it by pretending to be Jesse's wife to all the townspeople. The scene in the beauty salon was hysterical, with Jesse playing the loving husband to the hilt.
Once they are back on the island, Jesse has his work cut out to show her how he feels. Cadi's self image issues have her convinced that he is only playing house with her. I enjoyed seeing them get to know each other. Jesse finally starts to understand some of her issues and tries to figure out how to overcome them. Cadi has an amazing talent for understanding what people need, even when they don't realize it themselves. There are some really funny scenes where Jesse tries to stand up for what he wants, only to find that Cadi has out-argued him and gotten him to see things her way, everything from treehouses to home offices to where a house should be built.
When Jesse's assistant, Nathaniel, arrives with some information about not just the man who caused the problems, but Stanley too, Jesse has some decisions to make. I loved the discussion that he and Nathaniel had. There was a lot more to Nathaniel than I had expected, and I liked him more every time I saw him. I liked the interaction between Cadi and Nathaniel, though each looked at it differently. I felt bad for Cadi, who thought she had insulted him, while Nathaniel thought she was wonderful. I loved his comments to Jesse about her.
The story concluded with Jesse's brothers and their wives arriving because of a family crisis. I loved seeing all their reactions to Jesse's "wife", though his sisters-in-law nearly wrecked what progress he had made with Cadi. I loved seeing Jesse finally win an argument with her, as it was the argument of his life.
The only thing I didn't like is that things with Stanley were left hanging. We definitely get the idea of what he had done about the problem, but then there's nothing else about him. Do he and his new partner come back or just disappear?

A Disappointing Novel From a Normally Fantastic Author of Romance
I sit here at my computer wondering what did I just read? I usually love the books of Janet Chapman. Most of them I have re-read several times and some of them are even in my "comfort read" folder (those books that I read over and over because they make me feel so good and bring me comfort when I am having a stressful time of it), but this book just didn't do it for me. The books about the first two brother's really had something going for them, they were complex with well fleshed out character's and a good plot -this book just seemed tossed together like a last minute salad. Like the author just took bits and pieces from her other books and tossed them into this one.
The character's are fairly cliched. (yes Ms Chapman does follow the genre formula, but she has never done it quite so obviously) A male hero worth gazillions just waiting to rescue the timid, naive female, knows he wants her for his very own in the first meeting (well just about), will do anything for her - a timid, naive female who just wants to please everyone at the expense of herself. Toss in a really bad guy, a friend that the heroine has been fake engaged to who has a nefarious past, learn that the female lead has a brain of her very own. Add some tepid romance (virtually non-existent) and lukewarm sex. Drizzle with dressing and toss.
I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it -I was just very disappointed by this book. I had looked forward to the conclusion of this trilogy for so long and was served this instead insufficient, lack-luster salad instead of the steak and potatoes I was looking forward to!

I liked a lot of this fun romantic tale, from the well-described location to the capable, friendly people in New England.
Didn't like that it was an obvious remake of The House Sitter, with a bit of juggling of main characters (the blonde woman works with the architect firm and the man is wealthy) and only a model house has been built. Basically, a pair of virtual strangers go around separately telling fanciful lies about being married, especially after the woman has moved in to the site of the planned house in a camper trailer. I could not, just could not see all the lying - which our heroine has been doing for over a year, with a fake engagement to a degenerate - being likely or working. And I was very sure she would have left off that engagement much sooner. Another negative; the rich man's ideal woman turns out to be just a baby minder, not a helpmate in all matters.
On the plus side, a crime link is introduced as a possible reason for her to hide away, and the story is relatively clean for an adult romance. The writing style is nice.
I had not read any of the earlier books and someone who had might enjoy this more, as we get continual references to the happy lives of characters we don't know or care about, which only serve to make an already twisted narrative more convoluted.
I read an e-ARC from Fresh Fiction. This is an unbiased review.

really enjoyed this book but I'm a sucker for the Sinclair brothers and their brides...and Maine - I always love how important the setting is in Chapman's books, Maine will forever be a secondary character and that is always a win in my book.
Fun story, definitely more along the women's fiction/chick lit lines - tension is there but sexual descriptions are light but the story is compelling and engrossing from the very beginning.
Well done as usual!

I did not enjoy this book. I have read other books by this author and liked them. This one was just
plain silly. I didn't read the first two books of the series, but, I don't think that made a difference. It jumps around from one subject to another without any continuity. I don't recommend the book.

I liked Jesse and Cadi and enjoyed their pseudo-marriage very much. A rather funny adventure that tickled my funny bone more than once. An excellent conclusion to the Sinclair Brothers trilogy. The house sounds fantastic...wish it was real so I could go check it out.

Janet Chapman is one of my favorite authors. I'm always waiting with bated breath for her next book to be published. This one was no exception. I loved every minute!
September 10, 2015
This is the first time that Janet has disappointed me. I had just read Tempt Me If You Can. At the end of that book, in her letter from Lakewatch she discusses what she expects from a romance novel. I liked what she said about happy endings and hope. I also have expectations from a Janet Chapman book that this one didn't deliver. I expect a strong independent woman, a typical alpha hero, well developed complications, a little bit of sex and a happy or hopeful ending. In this book, It's a Wonderful Wife she provides the fiesty heroine but the hero is a bit wishy washy. There is a significant side plot that is responsible for the heroine needing the hero but it never develops into anything. She closes it with a brief narrative from a minor character near the end of the book. Other characters drop out of the book at the beginning and are never heard from again. Although the hero and heroine start a relationship Janet doesn't write about it but just insinuates that it happened. I expect a scene about the first time the couple makes love in Janet's books so I was surprised. Overall, this book was disjointed, confusing and incomplete.

Janet Chapman writes the most entertaining, light romances that usually have a touch of magic in them. In this novel there actually isn't anything supernatural going on, but it was so much fun to read. I found myself giggling like usual. Jesse is a busy businessman who bought an island off the coast of Maine and is having his dream home built. Cadi is the mastermind behind his home and she sees into his heart and soul as she designs his perfect house for his future family. Jesse falls for Cadi and has to convince her that he is her dream man. The story flows and the characters are hilarious.
September 25, 2015
Janet Chapman is one of my favorite authors. Why, you ask. Her books draw me in from the first sentence and keeps me glued to the book way past my bedtime. In this novel, the last of the three Sinclair brothers, Jessie, is finally ready to find a wife. The woman he's attracted to is blonde, blue-eyed,beautiful,and engaged.
Being the gentleman he is, he doesn't pursue Cadi. However, she ends up in his camper adorably drunk and apparently single. Jessie takes his chance, but things don't run as smoothly as he planned. In fact, things become quite complicated.
There is the happy-ever-after ending to this story, but it takes an interesting journey to get there.

Always a great read!
Anything that Janet Chapman writes is great. You don't even need to know or remember the characters from previous books. Every story is both perfect alone and as part of the bigger story. If this is the first book you've seen of hers I recommend going back and starting from the beginning. Not to understand the story but to read some of the best stories around.

I love Janet Chapman's books. Love. But this one was not my favorite. The writing is great, as always, and Jesse and Cadi were likable characters but weren't together for a majority of the book. I had a tough time staying interested.
Again, love her writing. I will always look forward to her next book.

I'm use to Janet chapman's books with more spice. This book has a cute little story but I'm really disappointed in it. Not enough sexual tension/sex for my taste. Her earlier books were way more spicy.
July 17, 2016
I enjoyed this story with it's wild beginning that keep going with plenty of action. I especially liked the heroine with her wit and new resolve of independence that kept the hero on his toes. Billionaire Jesse hires Cadi's firm to design him a home on an island he recently purchased.

It seems like I've waited forever for this book. It is well worth the wait. I laughed from cover to cover. Sooo good! For my full review go to my blog: http://romancingthereaders.blogspot.c...

Yay! Jesse's story! Janet Chapman is one of my favorite easy reads. I enjoy the humor and lightness. I now want my own treehouse on my own island

This is the last of the Sinclair brothers series and like the others, this story was a very different look at a typical romance. Jesse Sinclair decided that since his brothers found love in a Maine, he bought an island and hired an architect to draw up plans for just what he wanted. It turns out that the model of his home was destroyed before he got a real chance to look at it. Apparently it didn’t matter because the architect’s assistant, Cadi Glacé had the ability to see what the customer wants three dimensional and after she made the model, then the architect would draw the plans. This is a fun story about how these two people worked through their differences and found that love they were looking for.
September 16, 2020
This book was disappointing normally with Janet Chapman books I can't put it down but with this one I had to make myself read it. I started and stopped a few times. It seems to me that that the romance took a back seat to the storyline. I kept waiting for them to finally be at the same place as once and it took forever it seems like. Sorry Janet Chapman I really wanted to like this one but I couldn't.
February 22, 2017
Janet Chapman books have a delightful & magical quality about them, but they also lack focus. The ones I've read have been far to easy to put down because the story just doesn't stay on track.
This one ended with so many names being thrown around that my mind was scrambling to figure out who was who and how did they relate to what was going on.

Very sweet, whimsical romance. Jesse is a billionaire who hire's Cadi's firm to design his island home with children as a focal point. Cadi likens him to Pooh and through the story there are many Pooh like story elements. Cadi's a bit of dreamer and lives a lot in her imagination. I enjoyed it except towards the end when some of her inner dialogue just felt a bit alien to the character.
October 19, 2021
This one is 2.5 stars rounded up. It's OK if you're looking for an escape from reality (as are most of Chapman's books) but it is not nearly as compelling as some of her other works.
There was too much deception, the romance was bland and whilst there was potential for some exciting action, this was never realised.
On the plus side, it was a really quick read.

The plot was decent, but it just never came together for me. There wasn't enough romantic tension anywhere and it was often confusing with so many characters. Some parts of the story never led anywhere.
December 23, 2019
The heroine in this book is my hero. actually the heroines of all three of these books in the Sinclair Brothers series are my heroes. Janet Chapman has written a series where all three female characters are strong yet loveable and funny and tough. Brava.
January 3, 2020
It's been so long since I've been able to read a romance novel all the way through. They've become the same story not even told in a unique way. This story was truly refreshing. Really liked the characters and not having the same old retread of a story.

Once again !
I absolutely loved this series. You are so talented in sending all of us on a delightful journey. The Sinclair clan was a thrill. Thanks Janet, for always lifting my heart.
