Summary: Just okay...
Review: As far as Duets go, this wasn't one (two?) of the better ones that I've read. And I seem to be the only reviewer who liked the 2nd story (50 Clues He's Mr. Right) better than the other. All in all, decent, light-hearted stories. Enough to make me smile, but definitely not a keeper.

Review: Both these stories were wonderful. I particularly enjoyed Cheryl St. John's tale. Humor and pathos, beautiful writing. Cheryl gives us everything we could want in a story, except maybe to get more of them. Write faster, Cheryl! I want more!

Summary: Perfect harmony of love, laughter and a tug on our emotions
Review: Francie Karr-Taylor is desperate. She told her grandmother she was married to a rich, handsome man and grandmother wants to meet him when Francie goes home for a class reunion. The problem: Francie isn't married, nor is she the marrying kind. She's committed to her career not a man. The solution: Blackmail the rich handsome man that comes to her door wanting something only she can give. Mix together a web of deceit, a reluctant 'husband', rebellious children and a bright old woman and you have the makings of a wonderful story. FOR THIS WEEK I THEE WED is a fun, lighthearted romp reliving the horrors and pressures of a class reunion with a sharp wit, unexpected twists and turns, and a sense of humor that actually made me laugh out loud. Cheryl St. John is an author who plays our emotions like a violin and she's created perfect harmony with love, laughter and an occasional tug on our heartstrings.

Summary: Come clean...or come up with a husband
Review: I, Francie-Karr Taylor, take thee, Ryan MacNair, in marriage to convince my grandmother and tenth-reunion class that I'm happily married--you provide the kids. A week should do it. You should pledge to be so irresistible that you charm the control tops right off those small-town busybodies. Your touches should be possessive and your kisses so hot that we won't need to feign our intense reactions. Oh, and promise we won't want this fake family to become real....

Summary: A pair of humorous romances
Review: She fibbed to her beloved grandmother by telling the elderly woman she recently married. Now photographer and all around flake Francie Karr-Taylor needs a temporary spouse to accompany her to her high school reunion because her grandmother will expect to meet her new relative. When Ryan McNair offers money to buy a family heirloom that Francie purchased at an auction, she sees her opportunity. Reluctantly, he agrees to be her husband for a week, tossing in his two kids in the bargain, in exchange for the brooch. This duo will soon learn what they really gained and lost with this trade. "For This Week I Thee Wed" is a warm, humorous relationship romance that shows the talent of Cheryl St. John to write an entertaining contemporary tale. Over the years, the changing staff always paid homage to the first issue of "Real Men" magazine, considered a collector's item. Now five decades later, reporter Tara Butler is assigned to update the classic article Forty-Nine Things You Need to Know about a Real Man from that first edition. To help her, writer Chase Montgomery teams up with Tara. As the couple begin to work closely together on "50 Clues to Mr. Right", they fall in love. However, Tara seeks a real man based on her list of traits. She initially believed Chase lacks these qualities, but now wonders if her list needs revising. Alyssa Dean completes her pairing with a wonderfully droll tale that provides insight into romance during the baby boom era. Both stories are light, but enjoyable romps. This collection adds to the fans' appreciation of the Duets concept of providing double the please for a single cost. Harriet Klausner
