The Farmer Wants a Wife
3 journalers for this copy...
Got it through titletrader in fine condition.
From backcover:
Flora Parker is sassy and stylish with a mouth as big as Wembley Stadium and a tendency to act before she thinks, which is how she ends up on the front of a newspaper in her Wonderbra and not much else. Filled with self-loathing, she retreats to her aunt's house in the country to look for a little meaning in her life. Instead she finds a farm on the brink of bankruptcy and a neighbour with an intriguing bet: he will give his farm and glorious farmhouse to whichever of his handsome nephews finds a wife my Michaelmas.
So Flo takes up matchmaking full-time, but soon finds she is falling in love herself... with a way of life that is muddy, smelly and under threat. But is she prepared to put her head on the altar to keep it?

In Amazon it has 5 stars...
But I don't know, I was feeling a bit down when I started reading it, so I guess I wasn't really in the mood for a chick-lit and couldn't get into the book. That's a shame, because once I give up a book for later -as I did in this case- , it's hard for me to start reading it again later on. And since it's been a month since I "temporarily" gave it up, it's up for grabs now.

Thank you for this book which arrived in my Boxing Day parcel. Looks just my kind of thing :-)
This is the first book I have read by this author and I will be looking out for more. A fun plot with a great cast of characters - some of whom I loved and others I loathed!
A fun, quick read.
