Contemporary Romance

 

On what should be the happiest day of her life, Jen is beset by worries starting with being unable to find one of her shoes, discovering that her groom is rather tipsy and ending with meeting his secret first wife that looks like an underwear model.  Convinced that their marriage won’t last, she decides to ask for a divorce on the second day of their marriage.  But getting divorced isn’t as easy as Jen thinks, especially as she is still madly in love with her husband! 

FIT TO BE TIED by Karen Kendall is a tongue in cheek look at how not to get married or divorced.  With tight pacing, realistic characters that easily become the reader’s friends and humor in just the right places, this reviewer recommends FIT TO BE TIED to any bride to be as a great release from the trauma of planning a wedding. 

In FIT TO BE TIED, Ms Kendall has done a wonderful job of all of the characters.  Through reading a self-help book, Jen convinces herself that her marriage to Tom won’t last and that she is saving them a lifetime of pain by divorcing immediately.  After all both of them are from homes where their parents are either already divorced or are in the process of doing so.  Though she is being extremely logical, Jen has forgotten that logic doesn’t have a lot to do with human emotions.  Tom, her soon to be ex husband, makes a wonderful hero.  He doesn’t want the divorce yet he isn’t going to fight her about it.   What amazed this reader is how through it all, Tom was there to support Jen emotionally if she needed it.  In this reader’s opinion, he has what it takes to make a wonderful husband.  And the secondary characters are just a hoot also! 

Be sure to pick up your copy today and discover how logic sometimes doesn’t fit in a marriage.
