Her Husband - To - Be

by Leigh Michaels

Published 1999185 pagesISBN 978-0-3730-3541-0

Deke Oliver was definitely *not* Danielle's idea of husband material. So it was infuriating that he believed she was trying to manipulate him into marriage. It wasn't her fault their joint inheiritance forced them to live under the same roof! And it was *Deke* who refused to keep it strictly business--suggesting that since they had to share a home, why not a bed? Danielle simply ignored this outrageous proposal--until she began to feel tempted by the intimacy of living together and Deke began to look very much like the perfect **husband-to-be...**

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Romance, Fiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

Works well for a focused weekend or a few concentrated sittings.

Begin with its place in Romance, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. What must each character learn before the relationship can become believable?
  2. How do work, family, friendship, or identity shape the central relationship?
  3. Does the emotional resolution feel earned by the choices that came before it?
