Book Review: A Keeper! Heartwarming, witty and charming to the end!
Summary: 4 Stars
Meg McKenzie is at the end of her rope when Jules Ponthier, the scion of a wealthy New Orleans family, offers to pay her $30,000 to marry him long enough to use her spousal vote for a company buyout. A financially strapped widow with three children, faced with an offer she can't refuse, there's nothing to it, Meg thinks, until Jules dies within hours of their marriage from a drug deal gone wrong, leaving her to deal with his brother, Parker, the responsible Ponthier, who's convinced she's a gold digger and a prostitute. He thinks the irresponsible Jules has married, without the benefits of a pre-nuptial agreement.
Meg just wants to go home to her children, but the Ponthiers have other plans. Soon Meg finds herself traveling with Parker to pick up Jules' 10 year old son, Gus, whose grief makes her want to help him in any way she can. Jules' Grandfather, Augie Ponthier, is the crafty and sly family patriarch, who also turns out to be quite the matchmaker. He secretly flies Meg's three children and their babysitter to the family home, further muddying the waters.
This witty, delightful tale makes for an enjoyable read and should generate new fans for Hailey North. The secondary characters are a very lively addition to the story. The neurotic mother, the sly family patriarch, the family Dr., and the kids! What an "uppity" and snobbish family! Meg works her magic, and turns them all around. The great chemistry between Meg and Parker sizzles throughout this book.
Reminiscent of those fluffy Doris Day-Rock Hudson romantic comedies of the late 1950s and early 1960s will delight in this book. A+
