New Book Review: Rescued by the Grumpy Doctor

Title: Rescued by the Grumpy Doctor 

Author: Sophia Clark

Date: 2024

Publisher: Sophia Clark

Quote: "People enter marriages of convenience all the time, for reasons far less noble."

Emily wants a new husband to make the old one go away. Jake wants a wife to make his father stop nagging him about his need for one. She proposes a short-term marriage of convenience first. He's reluctant at first, because he likes Emily and her brother as friends, but there is an undeniable physical attraction...

Can this marriage survive the in-love-with-sex stage? We are not told. Romance novels are marital aids and this one is for those who want to remember falling in love with sex. Explicit enough to attract bad things to your browser, it describes how Jake's emotional heart is won through the discovery that being young and full of hormones feels good in lots of different positions and a few fantasy scenes. 

Hmm. Attractive woman proposes to him, gives him time to think about it as women traditionally do, then hardly ever gets into a long conversation unless making babies is involved and just falls in love with his body? Did a man suggest this plot outline? Who knows, but this is the kind of romance novel a couple might share.
