Description
A world of differences, an unexpected forever.
Belly dancing, and black belt karate teacher, Marnie Stern has loved her time in Hong Kong, but now she’s ready to return home to Australia and begin the search for what she’s always dreamed of: a home, a husband, and a large family. But then she meets Daniel Tam. For an Observant Jewish woman like Marnie, the only purpose to dating is to find a suitable husband. Which is why she can never be more than casual friends with Daniel, despite how much he makes her smile and that his good looks makes her heart pound and her pulse race.
Work has always been the focus of contract lawyer Daniel Tam’s life. When Marnie erupts in his life like a whirlwind, Daniel’s charmed by her humour and her zest for life. He’s heading to London soon for a lucrative job offer, but in spite of giving her his heart, Marnie can’t follow him there. Because of her upbringing, they can’t date and they can’t live together. Their differences leave them worlds—and soon to be oceans—apart. With such a gulf between them, can they find a way to bridge it together and seize their unexpected forever?
Joanne Dannon –
Super cute story. Adored this book so much. Loved Daniel, he was such a thoughtful, good-natured, likeable character. I think Marnie and Daniel were well paired. Two excellent characters.
Kudos to Joanne Dannon for another fabulous story with heart. Sue, Goodreads
Joanne Dannon –
Joanne Dannon cannot write a bad book. An Unexpected Forever has a unique storyline, not at all like the romances I have read. Marnie is of the Jewish religion, strickly Observant. Daniel is Chinese/British with no firm religious beliefs. Once they meet, their worlds are turned upside down. Even though they have several things in common, one being the real feelings for the other, they cannot reach a compromise. Well developed characters, interesting, and entertaining from start to finish. Donna, Goodreads
Joanne Dannon –
The story is a sweet, well-written, standalone romance that highlights not only two diametrically different cultures but also the measures one will take to gain the ultimate prize. I love Ms Dannon’s writing and I finished reading this book with a contented sigh! Margaret, Goodreads
