Books like Needed by Jeanne Allan
Adeline Johnson, determined to maintain custody of her four‑year‑old niece, embarks on an unconventional search for a husband. With the help of Hannah Harris, who arranges dates with the town’s most eligible men, hope seems within reach.
However, Hannah’s grandson, Sam Dawson, constantly thwarts the match‑making attempts. Sam’s skeptical mind first suspects Adeline of exploiting his grandmother, then worries that he might be entangled in Hannah’s plans. Despite the challenges, Adeline’s attraction to the men remains strong, though none appear ready to step into a parental role.
The story hinges on Adeline’s perseverance, the comedic interference of Sam, and the tension between her desire for a stable future for her niece and the uncertain prospects of finding a suitable husband.
