3.5 stars.
A sweet wholesome romance featuring a hero consolidating a dramatic change in his life, “In the Market for Love”, by Shanna Hatfield, is about fears, hope and new beginnings.
There’s the old Ransom and the new Ransom: what we know about the former is very negative. The new version is still a work in progress, struggling with his past and transgressions and trying to overcome several issues.
I liked the hero’s humbleness and will to change and the heroines’s candidness and kindness with Ransom shortcomings.
I also liked watching Ransom and Kelly enjoying doing things together with simplicity and authenticity, just for for the sake of it.
Their relationship flows naturally and the attraction is inevitable.
I felt perhaps the conversion from Old Ransom to New Ransom was sometimes too easy.
