Hott Review:
Years ago I borrowed Husband Wanted from the library and loved it. However, time and a penchant for reading everything in sight caused me to forget the title. I did, however remember the story and have been looking for it to read again ever since. Imagine my glee when I received a request from Ms Hughes on my website asking if I’d be willing to review it for her re-launch! I’m still doing a happy dance. 😉 However, I’ll admit I saw that it was available through Kindle Unlimited and I grabbed it there instead of using an ARC. I prefer, when possible, to use my subscription… it helps me to feel much more confident of giving my true opinion when writing a review.
What I liked: I really enjoyed Husband Wanted, both times I read it. It’s a sweet romance with low steam and low drama. It’s just a fun read to while away the afternoon.
While I really liked Fannie and Mandy, my favorite character was Clay. He shows the most character development, plus he’s just fun and relaxed.
What I didn’t like: Nothing really, it’s been updated so it’s contemporary yet it still feels classic.

Author Bio:
Charlotte Hughes published her first category romance in 1987, a Bantam Books’ Loveswept, titled Too Many Husbands, which immediately shot to #1 on the Waldenbooks Bestseller list. She went on to write almost thirty books before the line closed in 1998.
Although Charlotte is widely known for her laugh-out-loud romantic comedies, she went on to pen three Maggie-Award winning thrillers for Avon Books in the late nineties, before resuming her first love, funny stories about people falling in love. She thrilled readers with her hilarious books, A New Attitude and Hot Shot, the latter of which won the Waldenbooks Greatest Sales Growth Achievement in 2003.
Her books received so many accolades that she was invited to co-author the very popular Full House series with mega-star author Janet Evanovich.
With that series behind her, Charlotte began her own, starring psychologist Kate Holly; What Looks Like Crazy, Nutcase, and High Anxiety, creating a list of somewhat kooky but always loveable and funny ensemble characters.
Charlotte is currently launching Tall, Dark and Bad, starring Summer Pettigrew and bad boy Cooper Garrett. She is writing a series set in the Lowcountry that is a WIP.
