romance
with echoes of The Sound of Music
Marion Lennox's HIS MIRACLE BRIDE is a short
humorous and emotionally moving romance with playful echoes to a
classic film that will delight romance and movie fans alike. HIS MIRACLE BRIDE creates playful,
humorous and sometimes tender echoes to an all time favorite movie
classic, THE SOUND OF MUSIC

same time, Marion Lennox renews the theme with different details in
setting, plot and character, holding the reader's interest and creating
a bit of reading suspense to see how her creative variations on the
timeless theme will unfold.
Shanni Jefferson
is homeless and penniless. She found her boyfriend and partner in bed
with another woman and reacting fast to the outrage, her little art
gallery suffered the consequences. She takes a job as a nanny to Pierce
MacLachlan's baby but Ruby did not tell her there were more children,
five children, in fact! With social services on the family's heels, can
Shanni whip the household into presentable shape? The bigger question,
of course, is the chemistry between Shanni and Pierce. Can Pierce put
away his past and reach out for love? Will Pierce's love inspire Shanni
to reach out for her inner dreams?
Readers may find
the heroine Shanni a bit bossy in a few instances. Although
well-intentioned, her determination to direct Pierce has a slight
interfering feel at times. Nevertheless, Shanni is exactly the kind of
woman for this hero given his personality and need to open his heart.
Just as Baron Von Trapp needed Maria to make him see his children
differently, Pierce needs Shanni to waken him to his own dreams. HIS MIRACLE BRIDE provokes a
genuine happy feeling at the end from the perfect match that emanates
not from the genre convention alone but from the very characters and
situation. HIS MIRACLE BRIDE
places the hero and heroine in a tense, hectic change of scene from the
onset, creating a wonderful humorous dimension to this romance for the
reader while opening up the hearts of her characters. As the hero and
heroine look into their pasts, their hidden dreams awaken. HIS MIRACLE BRIDE is both a
humorous and emotionally moving romance read.

with the unruly yet lovable brood…
But every night, once the children are all
safely tucked in bed, Shanni wonders whether family life—with gorgeous
Pierce—might suit her after all.…
