A Wholesale Arrangement (Thorndike Large Print Candlelight Romance)

Rating:
Summary: Good, but a little confusing . . .
Review: This story has a lot in common with its prequel, " In the Market." It, too, deals with the love that grows between two people who must juggle the competing demands of business and personal lives. It, too, features a larger-than-life hero whose intervention rescues a heroine whose business problems are basically consuming her life. In general I found Thor to be a slightly more complex and engaging hero than his brother Rainer had been, but as a heroine, Andrea seemed more dependent and maybe impulsive than her friend Jordan. A special part of this book for those who loved Leclaire's short story "A Man for All Seasonings" is the first appearance of a young, brash, womanizing and charming Joe Milano.
One problem with this book is that the reader, like the heroine, gets confusing mixed signals about what the hero really wants. And I personally found some of the business details a little beyond me. But the description of Thor and Andrea's traditional Norwegian wedding was beautiful, and the jokes which arose from Thor's constant additions to the vows were great. A nice read.
