"A page-turning story about love overcoming pragmatism"

Fresh Fiction Review

A Marriage Of Convenience
Jewel Amethyst

Reviewed by Patricia Woodside
Posted August 30, 2009

Romance

Tamara, after being left at the altar, swindled by her former fiancée and losing her job, is struggling to make ends meet. So when a trusted friend brings her a proposal that will afford her some immediate financial relief, she finds it difficult to say no. Desperate not to lose her home, Tamara marries Kwabena Opoku, a man of Ghanian descent, who is desperately in need of a green card.

What starts out as a business proposition becomes something more as the partners learn to respect and enjoy one another. But is that enough to turn this marriage of convenience into something else?

Jewel Amethyst writes a page-turning story about love overcoming pragmatism. Tamara doesn't want to like Ben, but can't help herself after he shows her a compassion she's never experienced before. Ben has no intentions of getting involved with Tamara, a plus-size woman unlike his typical lovers, but he finds himself drawn to her sadness and wanting to help in spite of her sometimes vicious temper. A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE is an enjoyable tale from this debut novelist.

SUMMARY

The Perfect Bride
Tamara Fontaine has planned every detail of her fairy-tale wedding, from her elegant satin-and-lace gown to the rose-strewn bed where she and her husband-to-be will consummate their vows. There’s only one catch…

No Groom
Humiliated and financially devastated by the con artist who left her waiting at the altar, Tamara has no use for men. But she does need someone to share the beautiful new home she can’t afford on her own. Enter Kwabena Opoku, a gorgeous Ghanaian scientist in search of a green card. This time the rules are all laid out ahead of time, and they don’t include romance. But sometimes, against all odds, love comes after…A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE
