A Bride for Tom by Ruth Ann Nordin - 3 stars

Quick and easy historical fiction.  Tom Larson is having trouble finding a wife, and Jessica Reynolds decides to help him overcome his awkward and clumsy manners so he can attract women.  This is your stereotypical PG RomCom. If it were a movie, one might almost expect Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts or Reese Witherspoon to play the female lead and Hugh Grant to play the male lead. Of course, be prepared to be frustrated by the typical lack of depth of the characters, as if any person could change the course of their life so easily and so quickly.

If you are looking to be entertained by fluff, look no further.
