Take one American singer who doesn’t believe in falling in love… sensible wife, who values commitment. He wants a partnership, a friendship, and none of the craziness that goes with falling in love. As far as he can see, there’s only one way to get exactly what he wants—he needs an arranged marriage.
…add a Scottish librarian who has given up on ever falling in love…
Caroline Patterson terrifies men. With her no-nonsense attitude, and ice queen demeanour, she’s in control of everything—and everyone—around her. Her sensible shoes and grey skirt suits act like a force field, repelling male attention. At thirty-one, she can’t remember the last time she went on a date and is beginning to think she’ll never have a family of her own. When an American stranger approaches Caroline with a marriage proposal that resembles a business contract, she quickly accepts. She doesn’t expect romance. But she does expect to control each and every detail of their lives together. Because as life has taught her—if you aren’t in control, bad things happen.
…and you get romance Invertary style!
Josh and Caroline learn the hard way that falling in love isn’t something you can avoid. And it definitely isn’t something you can control. Their well laid plans are about to degenerate into chaos, as they fall in love the Invertary way.

This is a funny, fantastic, romantic comedy from one of my favorite authors! Set in the small Scottish town of Invertary, it’s the kind of story that makes you smile long after you’ve finished reading. Highly recommended!
Great story. Very funny book.
Enjoying this absolutely hilarious series!! Well written, great characters and story building. This is my favorite of the series!!
After reading Lingerie Wars I am hooked on JEH and her Invertary series. Such a fun, wacky, and amazing series. Lingerie Wars was funny, Goody Two Shoes is HiLaRiouS!!! I’m talking laugh-out-loud, snorting, tears running down my face HiLaRiouS. Be very careful where you read this book. People may think you’re crazy.
Caroline is a control freak librarian whose biological clock is ticking. Josh is a world famous singer in the style of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. He may sing about love, but he doesn’t think it’s real. Nope. It’s far better to enter into a relationship the old-fashioned way, as in arranged marriage based on logic. The first time Josh sees Caroline he knows she’s exactly what he needs, theirs will be a perfect marriage. Caroline sees a way of getting the family she’s always wanted.
The entire book is set in Invertary so there are lots of “appearances” by characters you’ve already met in Lingerie Wars. Oh, and yes, Betty is at it again. This is pure entertainment and fun, a great book to simply take you to another place and make you forget everything else.
The first book in the series Lingerie Wars sets the stage for the small town. But Goody Two Shoes makes you start to fall in love with the town and the unique characters in it. Even though the book was predictable, I found myself smiling and enjoying it throughout the book.
01/11/2021 “Goody Two Shoes” (nook) is the delightful story of Josh and Caroline. However, don’t do what I did, which was to begin the series with Book 2. I can’t wait to read Book 1, “Lingerie Wars.”
The story (“Goody Two Shoes”) is heartwarming and hysterically funny at the beginning. As Josh’s and Caroline’s wedding day nears, trouble finds them thanks to two mean (aka BAD) people. I cried my way through the angst and heartache until the HEA. I loved this well-written story which takes place in Scotland.
The heroine is a serious sort. Everyone around her is nuts. The author made the characters jump off the page with over-the-top personalities. I couldn’t stop laughing. You have to read this book to see what I mean.
Laugh out loud, great story. Wonderful characters with a Happily Ever After. Pleasure to read. Looking forward to more romantic comedies from this author.
Great series to read.
No. Too silly to be believed or enjoyable.
This entire series is a definite must read! Wonderful entertainment and worthy of a good series binge.
