This review is from: Help Wanted: Husband? (Mass Market Paperback)
Six months of attempting to please her unfaithful husband immediately followed a lifetime of attempting to please her father. Now Lorna McDonough pleases no one but herself, hanging brilliant yellow shutters on her austere New England farmhouse and planning to paint the front door bright blue. She even wears chartreuse to her cheating husband's funeral. Only two days later she learns of her pregnancy. Now isolated by her father's and husband's reputations, and derided as "Loony Lorna" by town folk, Lorna struggles to revitalize the failing farm that she dreams of becoming her unborn child's legacy. Lorna's farm has enough work for an army of men, but her help wanted ad only attracts one: Julius Holt. A man who never stays in one place long, Julius cannot outrun the reminders of his painful youth when he made a tragic mistake. Yet Lorna inspires a reason to hope. She makes him dream of roots, land and a home. A rambling, smooth-talking, sensual man, Julius epitomizes the men Lorna wishes to avoid. But she needs help, so she meets his demands. In return for his working the farm until harvest, she will give him a stake in the land. She does not know she will give him her heart as well. Author Darlene Scalera reveals the soul of a poet in HELP WANTED: HUSBAND. Her lyrical prose and eloquent descriptive style captures the essence of farming warm moist earth and the profundity of spring. Indeed, the novel moves with the rhyme of the season, reflecting new beginnings for spring, warm fertile growth in summer, and the harvest in the fall. The challenges of weather and childbirth are met with an understanding of the cycle of life and the unexpected moments of eternal hope. A richly satisfying, character driven romance, HELP WANTED: HUSBAND? Comes very highly recommended.
