My mother taught me “Say nothing at all if you can’t say something nice”. I hate to disappoint mom, but I don’t have much nice to say about The Inconvenient Marriage of Charlotte Beck. This is typical formulaic pulp romance novel that anyone that has read more than a dozen books has come across more than 6 times. I guess that mush must sell, since writers keep writing it and somebody must be buying it.
I only recommend this book if you are a twelve year old girl who hasn’t read the same old story of boy meets girl, boy and girl hate each other, boy and girl realize they really do love each other, boy/girl get married live happily ever after. The premise of every romantic comedy every made.
Ms. Y’Barbo does do a reasonable job of giving readers a feel for the era and the writing is well done. I found the book a total bore and pushed myself to finish it since it had such an obvious plot.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review and it in no way colors my opinion of this material.

Thanks for the honest review. I read it also and even though it was predictable I still enjoyed it. Have a great New Year! :O)
