This book was just loads of fun. Sometimes, the best books are the ones that are like your favorite guilty pleasure on TV. You pick them up and just devour them in the course of a couple hours. This is EXACTLY what I did with Wanted: Wife.There is plenty to love about this book. It's romantic, it's sensual, it is just tons of fun. Wolfe knows how to craft a tale that makes you feel like its a decadent dessert. It feels a little naughty, but oh, so good.I think one of the elements that was most successful about this book was that it deals with real issues wrapped up in a silly premise. Do hot, eligible bachelors really advertise for fake wives in the newspaper? Still that silly, little ad leads to something really excellent. Darcy had a crush on the popular Steven in high school, but has not seen him sense.Down on her luck, and desperate to chase her dreams, Darcy answers the ad in a last ditch effort to save herself. Sparks fly between the two, and as they navigate tricky family issues, business deals and plenty of heat, is it possible that there is actual love at bloom?I do not want to give away the book, but it is safe to say that Ms. Wolfe weaves a wonderful tale. By the time you close the book, you will believe in love, even in the most awkward situations.Disclaimer: I was gifted a copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review.
