Carolina's Gone A Courting : The Brubaker Brides (Silhouette Romance)

Rating:
Summary: very funny, but ODD!
Review: This book is very funny, and in that sense just what we've come to expect from the Brubaker Brides series. But frankly it's low on both plot and romance, with most incidents feeling like they were basically contrived to help string the sparkling one-liners together. Also, for my tastes, we get too much information second-hand, through flashbacks, overheard telephone conversations and the like. The weird minor character Scruggs doesn't add much but weirdness, and the pacing of events is awfully erratic. For better reads, try a couple of earlier Brubaker books: The Millionaire's Waitress Wife and Tex's Exasperating Heiress.
