Title: Last try for early Evanovich
Product review: Like most of the other reviewers here, I bought Wife for Hire because I love Evanovich's Plum Series. I have tried other of her earlier romance stories and been disappointed but, ever the optimist, thought I'd give it another go. This is the last attempt. The situation was highly artificial--a guy pretending to be married so his father will loan him money, though it turns out the orchard would have survived without it--and the guy falls for the girl in less than one day. There was no build up for it, as the girl responds pretty immediately to him, too. There was no attempt to distinguish between sexual attraction and love or to build from one to the other. The story was really rushed. The only high point was the madcap comedy involving the townspeople.
