A MOST INCONVENIENT MARRIAGE (REGINA JENNINGS)



MY REVIEW:

"With few options of her own, nurse Abigail Stuart agrees to marry her patient, a gravely wounded soldier calling himself Jeremiah Calhoun.  They arrange a quick ceremony before he dies, giving Abigail the rights to his Ozark farm and giving Jeremiah the peace of knowing someone will care for his ailing sister after he's gone - a practical solution for both of them.

After the war, Abigail fulfills her side of the bargain - until the real Jeremiah Calhoun shows up, injured but definitely alive, and wastes no time in challenging Abigail's story, Abigail is flummoxed.  After months of claiming to be his widow, how can she explain that she's never seen this Jeremiah Calhoun before?  How can she convince him that she isn't trying to steal his farm?  And will she find a way to stay, even though this practical arrangement has turned into a most inconvenient marriage?"

I loved this book.  Got right into it and didn't stop until I was done.  The back and forth and the love/hate relationship between Abigail and Jeremiah was almost comical but very serious at the same time.  It was a great read and I would have no qualms recommending it to anyone.
