Title: The
Marriage Bargain
Author: Jennifer Probst
Review: I’m
a sucker for the romance/happily ever after genre. I love happy endings and romance is a great
place to find that. That said I have to
say that I really enjoyed this book.
Marriage on paper, yes, but could it also include a bit of hanky panky
with the spouse? Than great, but is that
in the contract? No…oh well then lots of
longing looks and late night make-out sessions to remind them of that
clause. Interruptions galore to be sure
the contract is followed to the letter.
Well what do you think happened?
The plot was cute and
the chemistry between the two leads was off the charts. The story is fast moving and I read it in one
evening. I did tear up at the end and
the dog…..oh so sweet and the way that Nick needed that. Alexa is someone I would like to be good
friends with, if she were real, and Nick well he needs some work, but he is a
good guy at heart. This is a great
romance that will make you believe in love again and again. I look forward to the authors next book in
this series…she left it wide open for another.
If you like romance
you will love this book and it will make you smile as you read it. Say good-bye to real life and enjoy this
fantasy for awhile. The ending will make
you cheer and maybe even cry happy tears. Sex alert for those not wanting to read that.

home, impulsive bookstore owner, Alexa Maria McKenzie, casts a love spell. But
she never planned on conjuring up her best friend's older brother—the powerful
man who once shattered her heart.

Ryan doesn’t believe in marriage, but in order to inherit his father’s
corporation, he needs a wife and needs one fast. When he discovers his sister’s
childhood friend is in dire financial straits, he’s offers Alexa a bold
proposition.
A marriage in name
only with certain rules: Avoid entanglement. Keep things all business. Do not
