Mollie and Beth Anne are best friends who grew up in a polygamist community. Mollie gets married to Ben, and all is happy and jolly. Until their bishop tells Ben he is also slated to marry Beth Anne. Since he and Mollie haven’t been married long enough to get out of the honeymoon phase, this is a stunning blow to both of them. Mollie takes it especially hard, and jealousy rears its ugly head. When Beth Anne moves in, all hell breaks loose.I like what this book represents: a different, wholesome way of life, where multiple “wives” are accepted and the outside world isn’t a party to their personal relationships. I could really get on my soapbox here and write a laundry list of why polygyny ought to be acceptable, even in these modern feminist times, but I won’t. And bride Two Soon stays clear of proselytizing as well. In Jamison’s world the tale is all that matters, and if the reader accepts that this is a story about another lifestyle, they’ll be spellbound.Bride Two Soon is more than a clever title (though it really is clever). It’s a spanking romance with a tender twist that shines a light on a different way to structure relationships. There are plenty of spankings and lots of romance, wrapped in a highly entertaining story. I recommend Bride Two Soon to anyone who believes that romance comes in all kinds of packages.
