I have to admit that I've read close to 200 books this year. So many seem to repeat themselves, but Nadja Notariani gave me a pleasant read that stood out against so many others in her book, A Practical Arrangement.Evangeline does not believe in romance and would prefer to continue her life with no man. Thomas enjoys women too much. Both have family members that want to see them as a couple because they would just be perfect. It would be such a practical arrangement until Evangeline presents a challenge to Thomas. Now, it's a matter of the heart.This was one of the most delightful romantic reads I encountered this year. There was humor, romance, and characters that you could fall in love with. Ms. Notariani does an excellent job of character development and scene descriptions. It was beautifully done. I did not find anything that made me pause in my reading. It flowed smoothly and kept me completely engaged. This is not a suspense novel or something that will keep you riveted throughout the night, but it is a read that you want to finish simply because it is so well written and has you wanting more.Ms. Notariani has several intimate scenes in the book but none of them are overly graphic. They give the reader just a hint of what really happens before stepping back and giving the couple privacy. Love it!Note: This book was provided as part of a book tour with no expectation of a positive review.
