Married By Mistake

MARRIED BY MISTAKE begins as a humiliating experience on reality television, which leads to all kinds of repercussions.

Casey Greene has decided she has been engaged long enough, and when an offer to have a paid-for wedding and honeymoon comes along, Casey grabs it quickly. The only problem is that the groom’s on the program have no idea what is going to happen. Instead she ends up thinking the marriage to the owner of the TV station Adam Carmichael, is fake. When they learn the crew member is still licensed to perform any ceremony, they decide to pretend it is real. The longer they live in the same place, the tighter the ties become, plans for an annulment go ahead, but is it what they really want? With an interfering stepmother and a romantically inclined lawyer added to the mix, it becomes a not easy to predict love story.

A comedy with some very sad and emotional scenes added to the plot, as two lost souls work out their problems. The main characters are larger than life, with their own agenda and ways of dealing with rejection. Secondary characters add another interesting layer, as the story unfolds. The heroine wants to be adored, but has no idea of how to receive this. Left standing literally empty handed at her wedding, she feels cheated and bereft. The groom also has many hidden issues to work through, so the conflict is strong. Neither recognizes the way they feel is turning into love as part of the sexual attraction. They have to learn that ignoring each other will ruin their quest for love and happiness. The secondary, mature love story was very well done and fitted smoothly into the main plot.
