Annie writes clean, Christian romance.
My Thoughts:
Not What He Expected is a clean sweet romance. It tells the story of a slightly overweight female that thinks she has no chance at love so she decides to become a mail order bride. The story lets you know that no matter your size or first impressions, anybody can find love.
It was a little predictable however for a short quick read it was still good. I do feel that this would have been better if it was longer with more background on the characters and it would have benefited Clara to make her more believable. I personally would have liked to seen the characters connect more throughout each book however it not having that didn’t take away from the book at all.
