On One Condition

Written by Diane Alberts

Narrated by Lucy Rivers

OCD kindergarten teacher Johanna hates Valentine's Day. She hates romance, hates commercialism, and definitely hates her school's annual charity date auction. She never expects her pre-auction night of drinking to land a sexy Brit in her bed. Or for that Brit to show up at the auction, bid thousands just to talk to her again, and get down on one knee in front of everyone and ask her to marry him.

Viscount Damon Hayes has never met anyone like Johanna. She's neurotic, fascinating, and fun. She also doesn't care about his title and doesn't want his money, which makes Johanna perfect to fulfill a surprise clause in his father's will: marry within three months and remain married for a year, or lose his fortune. A relationship is out of the question, but when passions ignite and the two fall in love, their marriage of convenience becomes anything but.

Reviews for On One Condition

The narrator did I great job with both male and female characters

[T J · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The marriage of convenience trope is one of my favorites, so I was a little disappointed that this book was just ok. I do need to mention that I wasn't able to finish it, so it's entirely possible it gets better by the ending. (And I probably will finish it someday, but not right now.)

In regard to the book's content and writing quality, it was, again, just ok. It all felt just the tiniest bit too cheesy and cliched, even for a romance novel. And to be fair, part of the blame lies squarely on the shoulders of the narrator. She started out in the plus column for not having a grating tone, but her choice of emotion, expression, and inflection doesn't fit well. It makes all the characters, especially the male lead, seem kind of humorless. A lot of the spoken dialog would have been much more realistic and believable if she had just added a little more emotion and/or energy. Instead, it feels flat.

Whenever I get around to finishing this, I'll update my review.

Review:



"On One Condition" by Diane Alberts was indeed a entertaining contemporary romantic quick read about a marriage of convenience. Starting with the "morning after the night before,"....which turns be very somewhat funny on just how these two people met and then this novel takes off from that... with Johanna Thomas who was a kindergarten elementary teacher that hated Valentine's Day. Why was this? Well, Johanna hated being alone watching other couples being so in love...and even worse was the annual charity auction held at her school for all the singles to have to go through... this being her third time! Now she meets this British Lord, Viscount Damon Haymes.... had she met him before? ... and OMG what happen? ...Damon proposals to her.....they marry and live happy ever after ...well .. you will find out from your reading just how Johanna's ex (Tim) and Damon's ex(Cecile) or ? always seemed to turn up. How will things turn out between Damon and Johanna? Now, this is the point of time where I say you must pick up "On One Condition" to find out what one condition is going on with these two people: Johanna and Damon.


The characters that the author presents are really very interesting people....Johanna, Viscount Damon Haymes, Jeff, Tim, Cecile, Mr. Johnson and Sara. Each one really made this read exciting in their form of their words that was absorbed by the reader.

"On One Condition" was a real cute quick read of the..."old story of a marriage of convenience that lead to true love." This was definitely a novel that would keep you wanting to know what was going to happen next. If you are in for a interesting heroine, lots of laughs, adventure, and a quick romantic read... I would recommend ..."On One Condition" novel for you.
