A Wife For Owen Chase     Amazon US PB Amazon Canada PB
Kristine Rolofson
Class/Genre:   Romance
Harlequin, Aug 2001, $3.99, 216 pp.

Six months ago her fianc‚ jilted Suzanne Greenway at the altar, leading the reporter to renounce marriage as simply a bad deal definitely not for her. I is therefore ironic that her editor sends Suzanne to cover the Annual Matchmaking Festival in the aptly named Bliss, Montana. She is one of the only single female in town not seeking a male.

Owen Chase has no time for dating because his plate is overflowing with responsibilities from his ranch and caring for his deceased sister's children. In spite of his situation, many of the ladies in Bliss, including a visiting reporter, consider him prime marital beef. If he will only find the time for Suzanne and if she will only move past her previous rejection, this duo could share a lifetime of happiness together.

Kristine Rolofson writes an amusing light romp that stars two nice lead characters and a cast of eccentrics. A WIFE FOR OWEN CHASE is funny because of the antics of the ensemble that enables the humor to overcome a shallow story line. Fans who enjoy an agreeable contemporary romance filled with mirth and a wink or two will want to relax with Ms. Rolofoson's cheerful tale.
