Matchmaker Matchmaker

A sheriff for a dad?

Eight-year-old Jason Richards is worried. His grandparents are threatening to sue for his custody, and they just might win, or so he thinks. So he runs away, leaving his mother, Beth, frantic and his grandparents raising hell.

Enter Ethan Drum, town sheriff.

Ethan finds Jason hiding in the woods and rashly promises that if he can do anything legal to help, he will.

Still, Ethan hasn't counted on Jason taking him so literally, or on being introduced to the boy's grandparents as Beth's fiancé!

[F · Rating 3 out of 5]

Entertaining read but I knew at page 43, unlikely circumstances loomed, since the sheriff "put his free hand to the middle of her back and used it to draw her between his knees" while he sit on the corner of his office desk within a hour or so of meeting the female protagonist, Beth. If this had happened in "real life", the sheriff would be unemployed by midnight of same day. :-) The book was a light read - it did point to obstacles encountered with a second marriage, particularly when kids are in the equation as well. Beth's mother-in-law from her first marriage announced in Chapter 11 that she had put a brown Betty in the refrigerator -- and I'd never heard of a brown Betty. That called for a Google search and a bookmarked recipe! :-)

Pretty ordinary and yet not too believable.
