This Matter of Marriage

By: Debbie Macomber

Narrated by: Kate Rudd

If I want to get married and have a family (and I do), it's time for a plan!!

from Hallie McCarthy's diary

The alarm on Hallie's biological clock is buzzing away. She's hitting the big three-0 and there's no prospect of marriage, no man in sight. But Hallie's an organized, goal-setting kind of person. She gives herself a year to meet Mr. Knight in Shining Armor. But all her dates are disasters. (There's the cheapskate and the sex fiend and well, never mind.)

Too bad she can't just fall for her good-looking neighbor, Steve Marris. He's definitely not her type. Anyway, Steve's busy trying to win back his ex-wife, Mary Lynn, who's busy getting married but not to Steve. Life would be so much simpler if he could fall for someone else. Like Hallie.

They're friends, though and sometimes friends become lovers. Sometimes friends become more .

When was this written??

One thing that I have found is important when reading a romance novel is to check the publication date. I started reading this book thinking it was published within the last decade at least. Not that I can't enjoy a good 90s romantic, but my mindset was not prepared for the heroine to be obsessed with losing 10 lbs, finding her self worth in a man and in the end settling for a man that is settling for her.

Struggled with Narrator's Male Voices for Women

Another delightful story by Debbie Macomber. The narrator had a good voice but all the adults sounded like men.

The speaker was not great.

The story was interesting but it seemed like it was spoken, in spots, by a computer. It was hard to get into the story because I kept thinking about it.
