Description
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 show more 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....

The dating game is always the same. One disaster after another. Fortunately, Hallie McCarthy can compare notes with her neighbor, Steve Marris. He's divorced and in the same boat. Right--too bad Hallie and Steve are not interested in each other!
This Matter Of Marriage is about Steve who is still in love with his ex wife and Hallie who has never been married but wants a husband and a family. It has a few amusing dates but other than that it is pretty predictable and a good read.
rabck from southernfryed; Hallie's goal is to be married by the end of the year. But the dating service and friends are setting her up with real duds. She's ignoring the true gem divorced Dad that moves in next door….after all, they're just friends, right?
