GRR Reviews Married for Christmas (Willow Park Book by Noelle Adams

Married for Christmas is an interesting matchup... Can friends marry without love? And once they are married, can they love each other?

Jessica wanted a family, but she didn't quite know how to love, after leaving a bad relationship and family in her distant past. Her only friend was Daniel, a pastor. Daniel lost his wife two years ago and had never gotten over it. Daniel wanted to be the pastor of the local congregation, but the town balked at a single pastor. So Jessica offered a solution... She wanted a family, he needed a wife. Why don't they get married, despite being best friends? She thought she knew exactly what she's getting into... but she's found she really didn't know anything when it comes to being a pastor's wife... but can she learn? And will he love her?

It's sweet, it's different worlds, AND it's a marriage of convenience, but they definitely plan to consummate the marriage... and they will, but is it merely affection, or is it love? And that's the fun part... They're doing marriage in reverse... Marry first, love later. But it can work... Maybe?
