When I began to read I was reminded of the movie Pocketful of Miracles…just a bit. The group at the diner Frannie works at comes to her rescue when a serious situation develops. The idea that community and friends can be there for one another is a nice sentiment. This short sweet story was originally published in 1995 under the Loveswept banner and has the clothing, prices, and feels of that time period or perhaps even a bit earlier. Life was different then and so was the writing. There is sex but it is a much tamer type than many books being currently written.

Thank you to NetGalley and Victory Editing for the copy to read and review. (

The only problem is that Frannie has created a fantasy life in the letters that she has exchanged with Mandie, so now she has to find a way to keep her lies a secret and keep her fantasy life going by finding a guy to fill the role as her rich husband ... enter confirmed bachelor Clay Coleman, who adds more complications to the already crazy situation that Frannie finds herself in!

Author Charlotte Hughes weaves an entertaining tale that is full of humor and romance. The reader is easily drawn into Frannie's story as she tries to deal with the complications from the fantasy life that she has created. From reconnecting with her daughter Mandie, to the uncovering of the secrets and lies, to the unexpected romance with Clay, Husband Wanted is a fun romantic story that will keep the reader engaged, in stitches, and with a smile on their face.
