Review
Bram Baxter Marries the Wrong Sister is a marriage of convenience romance novel that will leave one swooning. I loved the plot line, the characters, the setting…all the perfect ingredients to make a romance novel you will not want to put down.
Bram Baxter is a sweet man who I fell in love with instantly. He just wants to help Quinn and see that she is cared for–even if that means taking the drastic measures of marrying her so that she would have health insurance. Except he doesn’t love her, he loves her sister. However, as the story unfolds, secrets and flaws are revealed that make him question everything.
Quinn is incredibly sweet and wants to help and take care of everyone around her–everyone except herself. She is so selfless to the point of her own detriment.
From the first sentence, I was hooked, curious to see how the events would play out. None of the story felt rushed and the characters were well developed. If I am being honest, however, the side characters were my favorite, especially Bram’s twin brother, Cyrus and Titus, and Bram’s nosy neighbor, Mrs. Graham. I also loved the faith elements weaved throughout the story.
By the second half of the novel, however, I started to pull out of the story. The conflict that arose was all because of miscommunication or characters not communicating at all. This is my least favorite trope in a romance novel because the situations that arise from it are so easily avoided and so easily fixed it is almost frustrating.
Overall, though, I would give the book 4/5 stars. I would recommend it, especially if you love Christian fiction and marriage of convenience stories.
I had received a complimentary copy of the book and this is my honest review.
