This is the last book I had loaded on my Kindle and ready for a trip. From here on out, I'll be having to figure out what I want to read again!
Mason feels that everyone judges him because he has birthmarks on his hands. In many cases, he's correct, and it makes him feel alone. His father never accepted him, but even though his mother was his world, both his parents are now dead. Mason is on his own now, and he seems to be having issues finding a job. It starts out well, but when people see his hands, the interview is over.
Then he reads a strange advertisement that raises his curiosity. It asks for a young man that can make a quick decision. When Mason shows up, he is quickly assessed and dismissed, but then he fights back and is accepted. The "job" is to marry the man's niece. Mason is taken aback but agrees to meet with the woman and see what she thinks of the situation. After all, she may need help.
Once they figure out the situation, Mason and Nancy leave the city, but not everything is as smooth as they hope. It seems they're being followed by a man wearing a brown hat. Mason has no idea who he is, but when Nancy goes missing, he feels sure he knows who took her. All he has to do is have to figure out how to track them down.
I thought this book was okay. It's written in the first person, so being inside Mason's head when he's in the "throes of love" is a bit much at times. I also questioned a few of his decisions, but I'm not Mason, so I can't judge. I won't say I loved this book, but I didn't hate it either. It was just kind of middle of the road for me.
