Product Description
From Amazon.com
Lovely but shy Norah Jane Brown has definitely accepted her fate as an old maid. She doesn't date, she twists her long hair into a bun on top of her head, she wears baggy lace-collared granny dresses, and she works as a librarian. Worst of all, she's still a virgin at almost thirty-four. But Norah Jane has harbored a secret yen for bad boy Elijah Wilder ever since they were in grade school. Now she must find a husband, fast. The terms of her grandfather's will specifically state that if Norah Jane isn't married by her thirty-fourth birthday, she will lose Willow Run, her beloved, classically beautiful home. The small town she lives in doesn't have a lot of eligible bachelors, but fortunately, it does have Elijah - and Elijah's home and business have just suffered a devastating fire. When the town's wild man agrees to a marriage of convenience with the local maiden lady, none of the local gossips think it will last. Neither do Norah Jane and Elijah, but Elijah discovers a seductive temptress lurking beneath Norah's baggy dresses and innocent face, and Norah learns that her hard-hearted temporary husband has more to offer than steamy kisses in this charming, endearing tale of mismatched lovers who are kindred spirits at heart. A wonderful story to make readers smile and sigh. --Lois Faye Dyer

Fantastic read, funny, sweet, one of the best I've read!, Oct 25 1999
By Deborah Frankel - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Notorious Groom (Paperback)
I think that this book is one of the best I've read. It's funny and the romance couldn't be sweeter! A fantastic read! It's made me a fan of this author, eager to find the story of Melanie and Joe Rawlings, is there such a book? The characters were mentioned in this book, and were integral to its plot.

The Spinster Meets the Bad-Boy, Mar 9 2006
By Lettetia "As Long As I Am Able To Read, I Sha... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Notorious Groom (Paperback)
Shy Norah Jane Brown is the town's spinster librarian. Everyone knows and loves her. She's almost 34, drab, and still a virgin.
Due to a quirky term in her grandfather's will she has to marry before her next birthday or lose her home. With few prospects in town, she is fortunate to have Elijah Wilder.
Her high school crush, Elijah is the town mechanic and a single father. When his business suffers a devastating fire, he and his daughter are living in a small motel room. When he finds out Norah is about to propose to a local criminal, he suggests a marriage of convenience until his business is up and running again. Save her home, give his daughter a home until the insurance check comes in. Simple, right?
Who would have ever thought the town spinster and the town bad boy would ever make a marriage last? Not the local busy-bodies, that's for sure!
A fabulous, funny, sexy, charming read! Steamy love scenes, great dialogue, and characters that are very well developed.
Beautiful! I loved it!

My Fair Lady, July 15 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Notorious Groom (Paperback)
Who would imagine that a marriage of convenience would have such inconvenient results ? Eli thought he was doing his old school friend Norah Brown a favor when he married her to save her house. She really needed someone to look after her, she had been sheltered too long by her grandfather. The silly girl had been ready to propose to a criminal! He didn't think he would suddenly start thinking about how soft and kissabe she was. And then (with his daughter's assistance) Norah started changing on him. She ditched her granny dresses for shorts, and learnt how to drive, and have fun running thru the sprinklers. But she was also seriously rich and had multiple college degrees. Why would she want to be with a garage mechanic ? A funny romance, about the late blooming of a beautiful woman, and the man who makes it possible.
