Marry Me Twice by Monica Walters

A Review By: NJH

Leaving his home of Freetown, Sierra Leone, to further his education, Haji Abimbola travels to Texas to study chemical engineering. It seemed he could never please his father, but in a quest to prove that he is capable of great things, Haji excels in his field of study. After several major accomplishments and still not having the approval he longs for, he chooses to live life on his terms.

Journeying to the United States, Chinara Nwachucku sets out to make a successful life for herself to help her family back home in Nigeria, but it's taking much longer than she anticipated. Being laid off from her job is the blow that brings her to her knees. As if her life isn't stressful enough, she catches the attention of a man that seems to be the type to only want one thing. While her interest is piqued because Haji is attractive, she feels that he will only be a complication in her life.

Both Haji and Chinara experience trying times and their struggles bring them across one another's paths once again. Haji believes that in order to make it through those struggles, they have to do it together. Will he be able to convince Chinara of this fact, or will it fall on deaf ears?


Review Notes:

Audio Book Publication Year: 2022

An installment in a Series? No

Narrator (s): Ja’Air Bush, Winston James

Marry Me Twice is a book with the marriage of convenience trope.

Haji Haji Haji…Yes, I love a strong alpha male character and Haji deliverers. The flow of the book was smooth and transitioned well. The sexual chemistry is fire.

The one think that I can say about the narration is the consistency of the female voice was a little all over the place, but overall, the narration was good. I especially enjoyed when they did the African accents.

Reading Recommendation? Yes!

Rating: 5 (I need another one!)

Content Warnings? None
