Relation Concering Books Arranged
Anne Blythe has a great life: a good job, good friends, and a potential book deal for her first novel. When it comes to finding someone to share it with, however, she just can't seem to get it right.After yet another relationship ends, Anne comes across a business card for what she thinks is a dating service, and she pockets it just in case. When her best friend, Sarah, announces she's engaged, Anne can't help feeling envious. On an impulse, she decides to give the service a try because maybe she could use a little assistance in finding the right man. But Anne soon discovers the company isn't a dating service; it's an exclusive, and pricey, arranged marriage service. She initially rejects the idea, but the more she thinks about it -- and the company's success rate -- the more it appeals to her. After all, arranged marriages are the norm for millions of women around the world, so why wouldn't it work for her?
A few months later, Anne is travelling to a Mexican resort, where in one short weekend she will meet and marry Jack. And against all odds, it seems to be working out -- until Anne learns that Jack, and the company that arranged their marriage, are not what they seem at all.

I read this a while back and remember liking it. It had a very old fashioned feel to it and was quite sweet. It was also interesting to note the arranged marriage while outdated in North American society was the benchmark for coupling throughout history.I'm categorizing this under chick-lit and not romance. There is nothing romantic about this book. I'm definitely in the minority on this one. I found the story incredibly boring and hard to plow through. Once, the surprise twist occurred things definitely picked up, but by that point I didn't really care what happened to anyone. I found everyone to be cardboard one-dimensional figures. The connection to "Anne of Green Gables" was overplayed. The main character, Anne was boring, self-centered and
Well, another first take on an author and guess what? I LOVED IT....AGAIN!!! Yes, at first I find Anne irritating with all the ranting of wanting to get married but other than that I loved everything about it, which made me give it 5 stars. And the reason for Jack getting into an arranged marriage? IT NEVER EVEN CROSSED MY MIND!!! You have to read it to know what I mean. Gonna check on this author again, definitely!!!
I ordered this book from the library because I had heard the author promoting it on The Next Chapter (CBC Radio) and I was interested in the parallels (romantic looks vs solid friendship) with Anne of Green Gables. I was disappointed because I didn't find the protagonist or her friends very interesting, and the connections to Anne Shirley were all superficial, overt, and beaten to death. I actually really disliked Anne Blythe at first and then somehow became resigned to thinking that she was
This book was entertaining but I was really disappointed in the ending. Jack was not a sympathetic or charming character - I thought he was a jerk. Even though he eventually fell in love with Anne (or so he claims), their whole relationship was based on a lie for months...hello red flag for the future if a guy can lie that easily and throughly. How could you ever trust someone who can so easily live a double life and still sleep at night??? And not only was he a big fat liar but he was super
