Rated 4 STARS
Marin is a lucky woman.
She has great friends, a good job as a couples counselor and she is
engaged to be married in only four months.
After a bachelorette party in Vegas, Marin decides to surprise her
fiancée and come home early.
She finds him in bed with another woman, won’t listen to any
explanation and goes to pieces. In her
despair, she comes across a book that proposes that all men are liars and
cheaters and Marin decides to go out and prove it.
Her friend, Holly isn’t thrilled with the idea but she is
off on the trip of a lifetime and
Marin’s friend, Telly is totally against exclusive relationships so
she’s all for it.
Marin has to find a great guy who seemingly wouldn’t cheat
so she can prove that he does and thus, prove her theory.
Enter James, the best man at the wedding of her friend
Rachel who she has known since Rachel was a baby and the girl she went to the
bachelorette party for. James comes to
Marin’s rescue after an embarrassing fall and they start a relationship.
The problem is James is falling for Marin and she is using
him to prove a point.
How this all works out makes the story of The Man Test.
************************************************
The Man Test was a typical romance….just the kind I like if
done well and hate if they are too sappy or predictable. Aksel hit the mark
with this story though. Her heroine is
hell bent on proving her point but basically she’s a nice woman who’s had a
rough time of things.
I felt all kinds of sorry for poor James who was completely
unaware that he was being used. He was
so kind to Marin sometimes I just wanted to shout out, She’s not serious. This is all a game. Of course, even if I did it would have done
no good.
Marin’s friends, Telly and Holly were complete opposites but
were a good team just the same. They
were supportive of Marin in her time of need but when she needed to face
reality they weren’t afraid to tell her.
All in all, I enjoyed this little romance and I think you would
too.
