Three years ago, Morgan Parrish was embroiled in her father’s plan to marry a man who was destined for the presidency. There was just one problem: Morgan was in love with and pregnant by another man. When the house of cards her father had built came tumbling down, Morgan fled town and the backlash. Now, she’s stuck in Harmony Falls after a childhood bank account turns out to be empty. Even more shocking, the child she intended to place for adoption rather than cause more scandal is at her side.

As the son of the town drunk, life hasn’t always been easy for Charlie Cramer. Maybe that’s why he’s holding on to his own sobriety and his brand-new restaurant so tightly—too tightly if his grouchiness and control-freak tendencies in the kitchen are any indication. To make matters worse, Morgan Parrish is back in town … and she has a surprise for him. He’s a daddy! Can he face the truth and not lose the stability he’s worked so hard to achieve these last three years?

When a staff shortage ends up with Morgan waitressing at the bistro five nights a week, old feelings come to a boil. But there’s even more to consider, now. If they give in to the attraction and screw things up again, a precious little girl will have to deal with the fallout. On the other hand, if they can make this work, they’ll be a family.

Having choices and being clear on the consequences invites the student to be an active participant in solving the problems they may have created. purchase viagra online Visit Website Marrying the Wrong Man is one of those rare books that manages to show you the flaws of its protagonists, warts and all, yet still portray them as people you want to root for. I found it next to impossible to put it down, as I kept telling myself ‘one more chapter, one more chapter’, because I wanted to know what would happen with Morgan and Charlie.

Morgan easily wins you over with how much she cares for her daughter. The lengths she’s willing to go to, to provide a home and security for her child is really moving. She is also a woman who has clearly made some pretty big mistakes in her past, and you have to respect her every time she faces up to them.

I loved Charlie. Elley Arden really shows you his struggle and therefore his strength in resisting the temptation to start drinking again. He’s got a fun sense of humor but can be prickly. He has feelings for Morgan but has been burned by her one to many times, and watching him struggle against those feelings and the way Morgan reacts to it, ranges from amusing to romantic.

It did bother me that Morgan never told Charlie, until her return to town, that she had decided to keep their child and hadn’t given her up for adoption two years ago as she had originally planned. She was never really called out on this, and despite all the issues between her and Charlie, that one was never brought up save for a few passing lines despite striking me as a really big deal.

I also never got much of sense for the town of Harmony Falls. The book is the third in a series centered on the town, but I didn’t get much of a feel for the community. The only real sense I got was that it was unpleasant as the majority of the population was downright rude to Morgan for things that were either none of their business or not her fault. This made it hard to not completely agree with Morgan and her desire to get as far away from the town as possible.

Despite being the third book of the series, the author does a good job of catching you up on previous events. I never felt out of the loop or uninformed, and the story was focused on the present, not the past.

The characters are the real strength of this book. They are detailed and fleshed out and I got a real sense of each and every one of them, the main characters as well as the supporting cast. I was definitely interested in the plot and how things would turn out, but it was the people inhabiting the story that kept me turning the pages.

This book made me interested in reading the rest of the series and I will certainly be checking them out. The next time you’re in the mood to read a good romance, I recommend you try this one. Only be warned, you won’t be able to make do with one chapter.
