I found this start of a series to be entertaining. Several times I found myself laughing out loud. However, the secondary characters did seem to be unresolved at the end. (

Roman Chandler is a foreign correspondent who is called home due to his mother's illness. He is one of three brothers who decide to flip a coin to determine who will wed and produce a grandchild for their "ailing" mother. Roman runs into Charlotte Bronson whom he has had a crush on since she dumped him in HS.?Both Charlotte and Roman are commitment phobic for different reasons. She based on the frequently disappearing father who makes her feel unwanted and unloveable. He because his widowed mother has not moved on with her life after the death of his father and he fears the pain of loss in relationships.

I found nothing endearing in this relationship and in fact these two characters were not too interesting, and the secondary characters were not developed enough to add interest to the story.
This is the first in a 3 book series I can only hope the other two are better reads than this one. (

Book description

Will this bad boy make it to the altar? It takes a very special woman to catch a Chandler man... Meet the Chandlers - a trio of sexy brothers and the most eligible men in town...until their mother falls ill. As her three sons gather at her side, she makes two desperate demands: "Get married! Give me grandchildren!"

Foreign correspondent Roman Chandler has always prized his freedom above all else. Now losing a coin toss has sealed this youngest brother's fate. Finding someone to escort down the aisle is the easy part - every wannabe bride in sleepy Yorkshire Falls is itching to get hitched to this gorgeous, globe-trotting Chandler man. But Roman still lusts after the woman who got away.

Stunning heartbreaker Charlotte Bronson has come home to put down roots and get her erotic lingerie business off the ground. She wants a man who won't go chasing off to the far corners of the earth for a breaking news story. He wants her to say "I do". Will-she or won't-she? Can the love of the right woman transform a go-it-alone guy into a stick-around-forever kind of man?
