Product Description
Jessica Wild isn't big on commitment. 'Don't depend on anyone' is her motto. But her friend Grace, a sweet old lady she met in her grandmother's nursing home, can't believe that Jess is truly happy on her own. Eventually Jess caves and tells Grace she's got a boyfriend: her glamorous boss, Anthony Milton. When in time her fantasy boyfriend becomes her fantasy husband, Grace is thrilled for Jess. So much so, that she leaves Jess an inheritance. But there's a snag. It's in the name of Jessica Milton. Grace trusted Jess to look after the house she adored. If Jess is to keep that trust, it will mean turning her Little White Lie into a Big White Wedding - and getting Anthony to fall in love with her and pop the question for real. With the help of her formidable best friend Helen and Gloria, a Russian escort experienced in the ways of men, Jess reluctantly learns the art of flirting, seduction and playing hard to get. But just when it appears that Operation Marriage is a success and Anthony is about to ask the million-dollar question, Jess wonders if it's right to say 'I do' for all the wrong reasons...

this book is so good i couldnt put it down, jessica wild is soooooo much fun!!!
Format:Paperback
The story is based on well-worn clichés such as `love is more important than money' and `you have to look for inner values', blah, blah.... which is not a sin in itself if a book is well-written, which "The importance of being married" is sadly not!
It is an average, not very entertaining, we-saw-and-read-it-all-before kind of book where you'll realize what will happen at the end by page 15 and by page 50 you start wondering why bother to go through with it at all.
If you feel you want to read the book, do look for it in your local library instead of spending money on it.

I've Read Better
29 Nov 2008
Format:Paperback
This book was marginally interesting; it actually started out with a great female character and a realistic plot and then, somehow, got unrealistic very fast. Jessica Wild inherits an exorbitant amount of money, but she pretended to be married in order to get the money; she now has only 50 days to get married or lose the estate. Although the book was about marriage there was not much romance in this book (hardly any), and the story was plot-driven and not character-driven. That left the characters really undeveloped and one-dimensional and the plot, unfortunately, unbelievable. The beginning chapters were fun, but by the end of the book I didn't have much interest left in Jessica's life and troubles.

Annoying heroine but still fun read...
2 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
If you can over look a weak heroine who lets everybody in her life tell her what to do, then this is a fun read.

Couldn't put it down!
1 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback
It's very typical for me to take about a week to finish a book because I may not have the chance or desire to pick it up. I finished this in two days, in addition to having a 4 yr old running about, which is an accomplishment for me. It never once got boring. All the characters were great and I especially loved Max. He was so realistic I want him as my boyfriend!!! So this is going to be a trilogy? Can't wait to read the next!
