This is the first part of a new series by Jessie Kelley. This book introduces the main characters and sets up the story. With this author you are sure to experience lots of great plot twists that make you keep reading. I've really enjoyed the characters, even mean Grace, who I'm looking forward to seeing how her character is developed so we understand what is driving her motives.

I don't want to give away the story but I felt like the reality show portion of the story, although well written, was written at a ten thousand foot level and we missed a lot making the falling in love and marriage proposal feel very rushed. As I noted, Jessie Kelley is a good story teller so I'm expecting this first segment to be the jump off point for a roller coaster ride of a story with lots of twists and turns.
I received an ARC and I am leaving my own opinion of the book.

Cindy needs a change, all she does is work so her friend decides to take things into her own hands. She sends in a application for Cindy to be one of the contestants on “Farmer Wants a Wife Show”. Cindy doesn’t like the idea at all & says it’s not for her but, in the end, decides to go on the show. She is wondering if she is crazy or what! She does want to change her boring life and live a little. Cindy does meet the farmer and it turns out he remembers her from her childhood. Can’t tell you much more or I will spoil it. Cindy does get good news. Looking forward to the next book!

I received this ARC book for free & I am giving my review for free in my own words.

Okay an interesting way to start a series.
Cindy's friend sends her name into a reality show.
Once there she will try her best but isn't putting faith that she'll win the farmer.
Mark is the farmer. He knew Cindy when she was younger. He annoyed her in school.
The two have a connection.
When the winner is chosen one of the contestants who lost, Grace, goes ballistic. She threatens Cindy and Mark.
Can't wait to see where this goes.

Love all things Jessie Kelley. Cindy's best friend Lisa signs her up to be on a reality tv show, "Farmer wants a Wife." Cindy is uncertain, but is looking for a partner. Once arriving for the show, all the girls are catty especially Grace. How will things work out in the end? Looking forward to reading book two!

intriguing story

I'm annoyed that this is a series of very short books and I must continue with another edition to get the rest of the story.
I do very much like the story. It has held my attention. FARMER WANTS A WIFE is a great break from my own daily issues. It would make Jake a great week-end read if it was composed in a different format as one book instead of series.

Wow! A shocking ending to book 1. I loved Cindy and her attitude. She was sweet and not cunning. Mark was also a sweet man. Can’t wait to read book 2.
