It's a perfect plan—-best friends Leah Bowen and Jake Lure will each advertise for mail-order spouses in the papers, and then Jake will help select Leah's future husband, while Leah picks Jake's bride-to-be! Surely the ads will find them what they seek: a wife who'll appreciate Jake's shy charm and a groom who'll take Leah away from the Idaho Territory she detests. When the responses to the postings pour in, it seems all Leah's and Jake's dreams will soon come true. But the closer they each get to the altar, the less appealing marrying a stranger becomes. Is it too late to turn back—or to turn around and find the happiness they truly seek together, at last?

MY THOUGHTS
This is such a fun read! Groom Wanted is one of those books where, even though you know how it will end, it's fun to "watch" it happen and amusing to see the characters be so clueless to what is obvious to everyone but them! Debra Ullrick has penned a delightful story with characters that immediately worked their way into my heart. Perfect for tucking into a bag or keeping in the car for those soon-to-begin school pick-up lines, this is a story you don't want to miss!
