Conventional Pursuit

"The book ended and I'm devastated!" 

An arranged marriage:

I was good with business. My decision to marry was no different. I’d weighed pros and cons, invested, and studied the venture before deciding on marriage.

Then there was the matter of how to choose a wife.

I’d known Tristian for five years. When I told him I was looking to get married, he mentioned Mavis and encouraged me to write to her. From the affectionate way he talked about her, I knew they were close.

It was early yet, but it seemed my investment was paying off.

Like me, she’d done her research.

She approached the whole thing as a business deal, even down to last night. That was fine.

I was used to business.

"Absolutely a must read! The characters draw you in and leave you wanting more!"

"I read it in two days. This book really drew me in with each of her characters. I also really liked the ending, it was perfect for the story! Relatable and enjoyable!"

"Very clever storyline! Great Ending!"

"This is Mattice’s best novel yet. She matter-of-factly addresses autism and specific mental health struggles in the context of love and marriage. Her character development made me love some characters & despise others. Very well done. Twists & turns kept me turning the pages. I finished this book in less than two days!"

"This book will draw you in and hold you captive until the end. Loved this book - couldn't put it down once I started the story." 

"A Captivating Tale of Love - 5 Stars!"

"...an absolute gem that deftly intertwines the charm of traditional romance with the freshness of contemporary storytelling. From the first page, I was hooked by the rich character development and the intricate plot that never ceased to surprise me."
