Short description

Tall, bossy Pearl with her ragtag siblings and questionable cousin may not be a suitable wife for Drake, but Drake and Pearl learn that love--with a breathtaking dose of passion--overcomes danger and other obstacles to make their marriage a true romance.

Extended description

Wanted: One completely improper wife. Even if Drake Kincaid had placed such an advertisement in every paper in the country, he couldn't have found a better candidate than Pearl Parker, which is fine with him. After all, his parent's crazy will stipulates only that he marry by his thirtieth birthday, not that he marry well. And no one--including Drake's grandfather, the man determined to hold him to the ridiculous provision--could possibly think tall, bossy Pearl with her ragtag siblings and questionable "cousin" Belle will make a good wife. Until Drake realizes that in Pearl's startling violet eyes he sees a beautiful woman with a generous soul

Their life may not have started with hearts and flowers, but Drake and Pearl will soon learn that real love--with a breathtaking dose of passion--will overcome danger, threats, and all obstacles to make their marriage a true romance.

Review by: Elysa Hendricks on Dec. 21, 2011 : star star star star
I enjoy Western romances and "marriage of convenience" stories. Ms Clemmons' A MOST UNSUITABLE WIFE combines the two and doesn't disappoint. Drake Kincaid needs to marry to secure his inheritance of his ranch and Pearl Parker needs to escape a town that is determined to destroy her family. The romance between the two is believable and the secondary characters, Pearl's half brother and sister are nicely drawn. There's a good balance between action and romance.

Aside from some copy editing problems and typos toward the end of the book, I enjoyed A MOST UNSUITABLE WIFE and look forward to reading more stories from Ms Clemmons.
