Ebooks: Husband Hunting by Kate Adair

Plot Summary: Taylor has always loved Drew, ever since she was a child. With the help of several self-help books, she’s determined that Drew will marry her. It’s a romance, so I’m sure you can guess what happens.

Thoughts: This book tries really hard to be a romantic comedy. The problem is that, y’know, you have to actually be funny in order to succeed at comedy, and Adair is decidedly not funny. She also appears to not have paid attention to anything she might have ever picked up about good writing, good characterization, etc.

Drew and Taylor are among two of the stupidest romance novel hero/heroine combinations I’ve ever read. As with a lot of romances, their story would have been a lot shorter and imenently less frustrating had they bothered talking to each other instead of leaping to eroneous conclusions. That being said, I’m glad they ended up together, because God knows people with jellybeans rattling around in place of brain matter certainly don’t need to end up with anyone else.

Grade: C- (It only got this high a grade because there was a secondary character I liked who seemed far more interesting than either of our protagonists.)
