While searching for the next romantic comedy from Diane Darcy, I came across this gem.  It had all of the ingredients to a perfect love story: meddling matchmakers, a genuinely sweet and strong heroine, and a romance that makes your toes curl.Garth finds himself in an arranged marriage, one that he never agreed too, and yet his signature is forged on the documents.  As he tries to find a way out of his marriage, Mitsy (unaware) is determined to show him how they can make their marriage work.A great western setting.  I loved the characters, particularly the three old men who perjure themselves in order to see Garth married.  The lengths that Garth's father goes to get his son and Mitsy together are particularly funny.  Garth was stubborn about wanting to choose his own bride, but I loved watching him fall in love with Mitsy and soften towards her.I'd definitely recommend this book, especially to fans of clean romance and authors like Marcia Lynn McClure.My only complaint is how this book tested my self-control.  I'd already stayed up until 11 PM to finish reading, and I was still tempted to start reading the second book in the series, The Cowboy Steals a Bride, right away!  Good sense eventually won out, but with great difficulty.  This was a fun story that left me smiling and giddy at the end.Content: Use of the words hell and damn, no other swearing, sex (within marriage, not overly explicit)
