Pleasant words, "courting my wife."
Painful words, "I can't do this. I'm leaving."
Reading a book that makes me cry is not a good idea when I have a cold. Plus, I can't tell you it's a "four hankie" book ;-)
I am so glad that all the Harlequin books I've read have been Happy-Ever-After books instead of Happy-for-Now books. I don't think I would have made it through those painful words. Then the best-friend (the letter writer) comes to visit? Yikes!
Final Grade? C+ (eventually, I'll hand it off but I'm hoping there are related books)

Product Description:
The arrival of Michael Bowen's bride, married sight unseen by proxy, sends the rancher reeling. With her trousers, cowboy hat and rifle, she looks like a female outlaw—not the genteel lady he corresponded with for months. He's been hoodwinked into marriage with the wrong woman!
Selina Farleigh Bowen loved Michael's letters, even if she couldn't read them herself. A friend read them to her, and wrote her replies—but apparently that "friend" left things out, like Michael's dream of a wife who was nothing like her. Selina won't change who she is, not even for the man she loves. Yet time might show Michael the true value of his unlikely wife.
