Having been stood up at the altar, accounts cleaned out, and mounting debt, Tamara felt she had nothing to lose when her best offer was an opportunity to help a Ghanaian scientist in need of a green card. In A Marriage of Convenience, Author Jewel Amethyst shares with readers how marriage can make you or break you.

After Tamara’s first attempt at marriage fell apart at the altar, the new house she purchased with hopes of living there with her new husband was in jeopardy of being lost. The fact that she was no longer employed put a major strain on her life and her job search garnered more disappointments than she could stand. Thankfully her best friend, Jordan, had her best interests at heart, floating her jobs that he could have kept for himself. It was also Jordan who asked Tamara to consider marrying his friend to help him get his green card.

Dead set against marrying someone to help them remain in the US, Tamara reasoned with herself and finally decided that if she wanted to get rid of the debt she was in, marrying someone she did not have to have a relationship with might just be what she needed. Besides, trying to hold her own against her mother’s advice was well worth moving forward with the marriage.

Since it was required that the newly married couple prove that they lived together, Kwabena, Tamara’s new husband of convenience moved into the basement of the house, allowing Tamara to have her space. However, the sparks that flew between them in an effort to keep things `business as usual,’ turned into sparks of the loving kind, and they found themselves in each others arms as their marriage that was supposed to benefit them one way created another level of human emotion and sharing.

Will Tamara and Kwabena allow the new sparks to grow into something more than convenience with benefits, or will they find true love with one another as they both learn more about the other and learn to appreciate what they see?

I enjoyed A Marriage of Convenience because it is a boost for full-figured women and women with low self-esteem, encouraging them not to give up on finding true love. I recommend this book to readers of romance novels.
