Mail-Order Groom by Cindy Flores Martinez with my review

Synopsis

MAIL-ORDER GROOM, a debut romantic comedy novel by Cindy Flores Martinez, is

a clean romance about an American woman who marries a stranger from Poland after her

fiancé leaves her right before the wedding.

Lisa is about to marry her first real love and have the wedding of her dreams, but her

world is shattered when she finds her fiancé, Jeff, in the arms of another woman. When

he calls the wedding off, Lisa is heartbroken.

In a twist of fate, she meets Krzysztof Zielinski from Poland on Mail-Order-
Grooms.Com. He needs to marry an American woman so that he can stay in America,

and he’s willing to pay money for it. His reason for needing to stay is what tugs at Lisa’s

heart and convinces her to say “I do” to him. After all, it’s going to be strictly a business

deal. She won’t even have to live with him, and marrying another man would be the

Lisa races to the altar with her stand-in groom, but she soon learns that she actually does

have to live with him. Things become even more complicated when she finds herself

falling for him, and he’s not planning to stay in America forever. Will Lisa’s heart break

all over again or will she find love and happiness in the end?

Bio

My name is Cindy Flores Martinez. I was born and raised in a suburb of Los Angeles.

I have an MFA in Creative Writing with an emphasis in Screenwriting. I have been a

screenwriting instructor, screenplay consultant, script reader, and screenplay collaborator.

My debut novel, Mail-Order Groom, which was inspired by my own Polish ancestry,

started out as a screenplay and movie project. I spent years shopping it around

Hollywood, New York, and other parts of the world and had two well-known actors, one

of them Academy Award nominated, interested in portraying the lead character’s parents.

After not finding the success I wanted, I officially canceled my film production company

in November of 2009 and embarked on the journey of turning my screenplay into a novel.

 

My Review

4 stars

Really liked this book. The way these two got together was ironic because they did it for different reasons yet they still got together in the end. This book was well enough written that I could see it happening as I read it. I read this book in one sitting because I was rooting for these two to finally realize they belonged together. I smiled at times at some of the situations they found themselves in. Very touching story with a touch of humor of two different people coming together and becoming one.
