    Maggie's Mistake

    About this audiobook

    Maggie vowed to never marry a man who can’t laugh or dance, but when she and the dull new doctor in town, Everett Dulanis, wind up spending the night together in an abandoned dugout house, all that changes. Her father is the best man and his shotgun is the bridesmaid at the wedding where a union has been made, but there’s certainly no unity.

    Everett was engaged to Carolina Prescott, a southern lady in Atlanta, Georgia. But that, too, comes to an end when he awakes with nothing but a blanket around him and the cold barrel of a shotgun pressed against his forehead. Maggie, simple-minded and fun-loving, is as far removed from what he wants and needs in a wife as a hog straight from the wallow. Even though he keeps protesting that nothing happened in that dugout shack, he has no choice but to marry the woman.

    Somewhere in the middle of undoing the knot that had been tied by mistake, Maggie and Everett find they’ve fallen in love and don’t want to end their marriage. But will either of them ever admit it?

      Those of you familiar with my reading tastes might be scratching your head here; this is an Avalon Historical Romance and I gave it 3 stars because I liked it. You are not seeing things. A friend recommended this, and once in a while I do read these sorts of forced marriage or marriage of convenience plots. They are predictable, of course, but it’s part of the fun when I read them.Maggie and Everett wake up to Maggie’s dad’s blunderbuss pointed at them, even though they are innocent of any wrongdoing. That very morning they are married with a shotgun as the maid of honour, but not to worry, Everett will have it annulled and they can go on with their lives. After all, he is a serious doctor and she’s a country hick with a reputation for not being the brightest bulb in the box—wait, that’s an anachronistic analogy, but you get the drift. Naturally, these plans are foiled because they spend that night in the same house, albeit in different rooms, so now they have to work on a divorce. Maggie, however, turns out to be one of the brightest bulbs in the box, and although she is totally clueless due to lack of mirrors, absolutely beautiful. What else would you expect from an Avalon Historical Romance???
