Publisher's Summary:
If Hanna Rockwell isn't married by the time she reaches her 30th birthday, she will lose her home, Rockwell Place, and her entire inheritance.
Hanna's mother and brother, who also live at Rockwell Place, are desperately afraid they're going to lose their home and allowance. Their constant nagging at Hanna to find someone to marry has driven her to challenge them.
"Start planning the wedding, Mother. And Will, you find the groom. And I'll get married on my 30th birthday!"
Feeling confident that her plan will never work, Hanna is dismayed when Will announces that Matt Corbett has agreed to marry Hanna.
The Matt Corbett? The has-been rock star who was her teen-age idol? No way!
Matt Corbett can't believe the string of events that has led him to decide to marry a stranger. But he's determined to get back on his feet. And he's determined to make his former manager pay dearly for getting him in the financial ruin that he's in. Yes, he'll marry Hanna Rockwell so he'll have a place to live, just long enough to jump-start his country music career.
But he hadn't counted on falling in love with her.
Members Reviews:
undeveloped
I understand Ms. Ballard's desire to address plus sized women's needs and fantasies through romance literature, but her writing skills are average and her story lines are undeveloped.
Excellent
Very well written book, couldn't put it down once I started reading!! Not my absolute favorite of Mrs. Ballard's, but still was a good book....
Wow ~ every woman's fantasy comes to life!
Pat Ballard has done it again...she has given me a book to read and a fantasy to hope for! I fell in love with her character, Matt, from the very beginning. Many of us women remember being a teenager and having a crush on a rock star only to have it never materialize into anything more than a silly crush when we look back on it. Hanna Rockwell has hers come true through no doing of her own. Hanna needs to be married by the time she is 30 or she will lose her inheritance and home will be lost. Hanna doesn't feel attractive because she isn't a size 6 and she's been told by her mother and brother all of her life that she needs to lose weight. Along comes Matt Corbett, the has-been rock star who is recently bankrupt, to her rescue. Hanna doesn't even meet Matt until their wedding day. At the alter, we find Matt..."As he gazed down at her upturned face, awareness dawned on him. He was irrevocably, deeply in love with Hanna Rockwell!" What woman alive hasn't wished for a man to feel this way about her?!
If that isn't enough for you, "Wanted: One Groom" goes even further. Matt and Hanna do not make love on their wedding night since they have only just met. When they do, we hear Matt saying..."I'm going to make love to you all night. Over and over and over. I'm going to kiss every inch of your body. And when I'm finished, you're never going to doubt that you're beautiful. And you're going to know that you're worthy of any man's love." And he proceeded to do all he had promised. He proved to Hanna that not every man is attracted to petite women; some men like voluptuous curvy women and appreciate their unique qualities.
In Matt, Pat Ballard has created the dream man for most women.
