Description In Favor Of Books The Substitute Wife
When Luke Quintain's fiancee dumped him, Catherine Lang understood immediately that she was the perfect solution to his problem. Leggy, flame haired and wise beyond her years, she decided that he should marry her instead.But even though Luke needed a wife by his thirty-sixth birthday or he would lose his inheritance, he had to say "No!" Well, that was what he tried to say, but somehow Cat left with a ring on her finger and a wedding date on her calendar. And Luke could only curse his grandfather's positively medieval blackmailing scheme...and count the seconds till the wedding night.
Cat, of course, knows her own mind -- and her own heart -- and she wants Luke. Meanwhile, Luke is wondering how long this will play out, and hoping that it might be a little longer with each passing day. The problem is, he's quite capable of doing something very stupid -- like falling for Cat.
Because sometimes love just doesn't take no for an answer.

Loved this book, have reread many times. The heroine is just so comfortable in her own skin, she doesn't pretend to be something else even though she is so different from the hero. The hero starts out as a self-centered jerk, but it was so fun to watch him fall as he was fighting it all the way. There is a very emotional ending and I loved how the heroine, completely heartbroken remains strong and moves on- to the hero's shock. Great groveling! Highly recommend this book!Enjoyable, pleasant, romance story.STORY BRIEF:Luke comes from a wealthy family. Hes a real estate broker. Lukes grandfather Nick threatens to sell the familys vineyard if Luke doesnt get married before age 36. In defiance Luke picks Devon because he knows Nick wont like her. Devon is shallow, grasping, and not known for her intelligence. A few weeks before the wedding, Devons former boyfriend appears wanting to marry her. She breaks her engagement with Luke and leaves town. Devon asks her
The Substitute Wife is a modern-day marriage of convenience romance. This book is well written, a nice length (384 pages), and has great secondary characters with their own side plot. I knew heading in, it wouldnt be a super serious book, but it has a quirky feel to it. The h reminded me a tad of Daisy in Kiss an Angel, but the H is no Alex. The MCs banter a lot, and some might find it cute or funny, but I found it a bit neurotic with the dialogue bouncing all over the placeand the endless

The Substitute Wife by Dallas Schulze is one of those stories, which makes you feel good for the first eighty percent (80%) of the book. However, when you are near to the end, it makes you want to scream and if it was possible to knock the protagonist on his ass. Yeah, this is exactly how I felt while reading this story. I am a sucker the marriage arrangement trope and this was the main thing that had me reaching for this story. Luke has been given an ultimatum by his grandfather. Either he gets
Revisited this one and I wanted to give it another star because the writing is good and the characters have depth, but the ending was just so abrupt it could never be more than an HFN. He barely says the ILY and then it ends on a small joke. I mean this is supposed to be a romance isn't it?#####################I admit that I skimmed through a fair bit of it. Yep, the H is a complete ass. I think his gesture of contrition at the end was supposed to be humorous, but really just came off as lame to
4.5 stars. I'm very glad I read this. It reminded me that an HP premise can transcend to something greater than harlequin generally allows it to be. Dallas Schulze seems to have been ahead of her time with this book. It simply crackles with the kind of humour I didn't find in the other books of its time (at least those I've read) that are of the same category. There was almost always something to laugh at (and I dearly love to laugh). It lost half a star only because I never felt like crying, so
What in the Sam Hill kind of hero is this? He didn't cheat only cause heroine walked in before he could, and he readily admits if she hadn't walked in he would of completed the transaction. The heroine was no better she just forgives him cause he gave her some shit, I guess technically it called mulch but shit none the less. Not a fan of this book.
