don't know what to say,
Well This was a good read, Nothing special, but not that bad,
I liked Maggie but the conflicts that she had with herself was really on my nerve,
Contrary to my expectation Michael was more wiser and more easy going, He accept his flaws and start to change them, "Of course love spells didn't work, She may as well look up hero in the dictionary and wish for Superman to appear outside her condo window, "
Ah Maggie, how happy I was to see you and the good Count again,
I was so excited to start this book, The Marriage Bargain is one book that always stays hidden in my heart to pull out when I need comfort and what better comfort comes from that book than hiding dogs and the sexy scene that follows.
I have waited to see what happened on the blind date between Michael and Maggie and we finally get that but what we get in addition is well.
. . perfection.
Maggie Ryan and Michael Conte have a strained relationship to put it lightly, They both feel the pull of the other but just don't know how to approach it without it going up in flames, The fire that is between them is allconsuming and HOT! Michael has a family emergency he needs to handle but to handle it properly he needs to bring a wife back to his home town in Italy.
A woman to play the role of his wife and would want nothing in return Maggie could be the perfect woman for the part.
"She was exactly what she wanted without apology, He'd never be a prince and didn't want the job, Especially against a woman who'd probably steal his horse and rescue herself, Still, for a while, he needed her, "
Michael puts the proposition on the table and Maggie agrees to accompany him as his “fake wife” but under her conditions.
After all, she is going to Italy to work anyway so what could it hurt Michael gets what he wants and so does Maggie.
Deal made, lets be on our way to Italy,
"The whole crazy plan hit her full force as soon as his private plane shot into the air, What the hell had she agreed to And what was it about the Ryan family that necessitated fake marriages"
The beauty of Italy that is created with Ms.
Probst words left me breathless, The colors, the rich landscape, the Terracotta roof tops and the smells coming out of Mama Contes kitchen had me lost and drooling.
I was IN Italy with Maggie and Michael on their whirlwind week of pretended marriage bliss,
I have to say that I simply love Michaels family his mother and his sisters are a delightful layer to their story and Carinaoh Carina I feel your crush on Max full force.
Michael's devotion to his family is what drives him to be the successful man that he is but also is a weakness that leaves him less than whole.
Duty and family honor can be a fickle fate, It leads you down roads you may not want to travel but those roads can lead you to your greatest desire, He would not be in his current position without his family and not just the fake marriage but the family business and the promise on a death bed.
Oh, a man of honor is quite the sexy beast,
The Marriage Trap is packed full of frustration, imagination, seduction, and heart break, Moments that had me clapping like a school girl, gasping at the intensity and falling in love with these characters, all of them over and over again.
Maggie with her wants "She wondered why no one loved her, Wondered if anyone could ever love her, " and Michael with is desire to claim Maggie as his own no matter what he must endure "She was heaven and hell in one and hed greet the devil with a smile on his face.
"
This book is amazing! I can honestly say that Ms, Probst, borrowing the words from your beloved Count, Michael Conte, after reading this, "You wrecked me, Completely. " and I will be wrecked willingly all over again without hesitation,
Italian billionaire and business man Michael Conte is in a bit of a fix, His sister is wanting to get married, but tradition dictates that Michael must marry first before his sisters, To placate his family, he devises a plan to present a fake wife, Photographer Maggie Ryan has known Michael for a year ever since her friend, Alexa had set her up on a blind date with the handsome Italian.
But Maggie is convinced Michael is in love with Alexa who happens to be married to Maggie's brother, Nick,
This is bookin the Marriage to a Billionaire series, And this time it's Nick's the hero from The Marriage Bargain sister, Maggie who is getting married to a billionaire,
Altogether The Marriage Trap is a cute, lightweight, and sexy romance, yet ultimately for me an average read, Though there is nothing particularly bad here, Jennifer Probst writes a contemporary following the usual tropes and brings nothing really new,
But for those readers who enjoyed bookThe Marriage Bargain, I think will also enjoy this one as well.

Maggie Ryan is the photographer sister of Nickthe hero in the previous book, who is smart, successful and independent and great at hiding her feelings after the lonely childhood she and Nick had.
Her best friend and brother's wife set her up with Michael Conte a year back and she felt a spark but was rejected so she convinced herself that Michael was in love with Alexa.
The reason I liked this book was Maggie and her sassiness that hid past hurts and vulnerabilities, She acted so blase but craved love and family like so many others but didn't believe she had it in her, Seeing her gel with Michael's family was amazing, as an outsider she could see how Michael was being patronizing to his three younger sisters and taking on the role of responsibility too far and she was not afraid of laying it all out.
A foolish family tradition stands in the way of Michael's sisters happiness so he asks Maggie to be his pretend wife and she agrees on one condition, that he stay away from Alexa and though it pains him to do so, since Alexa is a close friend, he agrees.
He has always felt the attraction between them but because of his friendship with Alexa and her family he doesn't want to risk a relationship going bad.
Michael was a great hero, he loved his family and had given up his dream of racing for them to run the family baking business, plus even his frequent dating was an attempt on his side to
find "the one", never guessing that Maggie would be that person, prickly, sassy Maggie who is the complete opposite of what he thought he wanted and has walls all around her.
The book was sexy, sweet and even heartbreaking when we hear what happened to a young Maggie, Yes, the book could be corny especially the last part but I still enjoyed it,
