gave an unladylike snort, “You want a Stepford wife without the sex, Havent you learned anything about women since you were fourteen”
“I learned plenty, Thats why Uncle Earl had to force me into an institution that favors women in the first place, ” She gasped. “Men get plenty out of marriage!”
“Like what”
“Steady sex and companionship, ”
“After six months the headaches start and you bore each other to tears, ”
“Someone to grow old with, ”
“Men never want to grow old, Thats why they keep seeking out younger women, ”
Her mouth dropped open, She closed it with one quick snap, “Childrena familysomeone who will love you in sickness and health, ”
“Someone who spends all your money and nags you every night and bitches about cleaning up your mess, ”
“Youre sick. ”
“Youre deluded. ”
She narrowed her eyes, “I see youre the same overbearing bully who teased me about my chest size, Some things dont change. ”
He focused his attention on the dip of her dress, “I guess youre right. Some things remain the same, Others keep expanding. ”
Her breath caught at the jab, but she surprised him when she smiled, “And other things remain small, ” Her pointed stare settled directly on the bulge in the center of his pants,
I like this book, quite a lot, I love Alexa and Nick, their clash of will, their humor “Do you have any Black Eyed Peas” He looked puzzled by the question.
“To eat” She held back a groan, It was a sweet romance, although too short for me,
I would love to read Maggie's story,
I really enjoyed this one! So much so that I have a ton of funny quips and scenes highlighted on my eReader.
In The Marriage Bargain two childhood “friends” and I use that term loosely, agree to enter into a marriage of convenience.
Nick needs a wife as a condition to inherit some cash, and Alexa is willing to accept the terms of the bargain for a small payout of her own to help save her familys home.
When their contract requirements begin to collide, sparks start to fly and Nick and Alexa find that this marriage bargain is turning into something they didnt expect.
Okay, let me just say yes theres an element of predictability to this story, I knew how it was going to end, but in all fairness when you go into a story expecting something light, romantic, funny and fulfilling thats the perfect type of predictability an author can deliver.
Jennifer Probst did a great job of blending her protags to create a perfect pair that were funny and quite entertaining,
So, if youre looking for a moment of reality suspension with an ending that leaves you smiling The Marriage Bargain is the perfect choice
É o típico livro de romance, água com muito açúcar, algum limão para não se tornar demasiado doce mas que deixa qualquer leitora que goste deste tipo de livros feliz.
Tem comédia, romance e um pouco de drama q, b e a autora levanta logo a ponta do véu de quem será o casal do próximo livro adoro quando os autores fazem isso portanto restame esperar que a Quinta Essência não demore muito tempo a traduzir o segundo livro.
Por enquanto irei acompanhar esta série e fica a recomendação deste livro para quem gosta de romance de cordel do antigamente mas com capas do século XXI.
Opinião: sitelink blogsp ,. Tras leer los dos primeros libros de la serie Searching for de la misma autora, decidí leer el primero de esta serie, cuya temática fuera de la romántica histórica me chirría un montón en los tiempos que corren.
A pesar de estar lleno de clichés y lugares comunes, así como de una sonrojante declaración de amor y un epilogo de lo más tonto la química entre los dos protagonistas es muy buena, Alexa es un gran personaje femenino, la narración es fluida y se lee en un pispas.
Es como una peli de amor tontorrona: bonita de ver en el momento, pero que se te olvida al minuto dos, The Marriage Bargain is a romance novel by Jennifer Probst, I was in BampN one day and looking through their "read in store" selections and found this title, I like the occasional romance and decided to give it a try with the one hour read for free that BampN offers for their Nook customers.
I instantly fell in love with this story, I hadn't even read for the full hour yet, was onlypages in before I decided to purchase it and continue on!
This is the typical romance novel where the motivation for coming together is money.
Nick needs a wife to claim his deceased Uncle's business and Alexa needs money to rescue her family's home, They reluctantly come together to serve each others purpose and the attraction is instant, But what makes this novel different from most is its quirky, fun and exciting ride from the first page to the last! Nick is smoldering hot and watching his inimical walls crumble was intriguing! Alexa is beatnik and her antics are amusing.
I laughed out loud at many of the ridiculous scenes, And I can always count it as a win when I get the butterfly's from reading the pulltug between two opposing forces, This was just a truly excellent and fun read, I liked it, but I'm not sure if I loved it, Will sleep on it first,./so far.
Um compromisso por interesse chamado de 'casamento', . . Desesperada por dinheiro para salvar a casa de sua família, a impulsiva Alexandria McKenzie se entrega a uma última e inusitada tentativa faz uma simpatia de amor para encontrar um marido.
Um marido rico, de preferência, Nicholas Ryan não acredita em amor eterno, casamento e família, No entanto, para que possa herdar as ações de seu tio e se tornar sóciomajoritário da empresa da família, ele deveria atender a um único requisito do testamento casarse e manterse casado por pelo menos um ano.
Nick e Alexa possuem muito pouco em comum, apenas o fato de Alexa ser a melhor amiga da irmã de Nick, Mas, movidos por seus interesses, os dois decidem se unir, Um acordo nupcial simples, sem paixão e sem complicações, Esse será o combinado por um ano, Mas a convivência será capaz de fazer nascer algum sentimento entre eles I made it almost all the way through this before my loathing for Nick finally overcame my desire to see Alexa happy.
And it's not so much that Nick is a jerk and completely unworthy of her attention though he is those things, It's that he doesn't make any sense in a tropey way that I wish authors would stop trying to make work, Let me lay it out in explicit terms, If a guy prides himself on rational analysis, then he can't possibly believe the truly stupid propositions that love doesn't exist and that monogamy is an illusion.
Those beliefs make him a selfinvolved idiot who couldn't analyze his way past a sleeping toddler,
The capper happened when Nick's father breezes in, has a single conversation, spouting selfinvolved, moronic things and Nick swallows it down hook, line, and sinker.
The dad who is an indolent jerk who can't be bothered to pay attention to Nick must of course hold the keys to Nick's future.
Authors, this makes Nick a complete and utter moron and going from that to hurting Alexa makes him the giantest douchnozzle that ever nozzed.
Probst spends the length of the story spouting nonsense about Nick being smart and rational but showing him being a dramatic idiot ruled by his hormones and with an inability to weigh simple facts to reach obvious conclusions like, for example, that his father is a selfish jerk whose every word about relationships should be disregarded as the empty wind it obviously is.
Also, Probst overwrites something terrible, The one that hangs in my memory is Alexa lamenting damage to her "mental sanity", As opposed to her, er, physical, . . sanitys
I am very sorry to say that this book was not written well at all,
Within most of the paragraphs both main characters inner thoughts were provided and it was very confusing and disturbing,
Also, the mixture of third person narrative with first person pov and having to read dialogues not accompanied by the respective person was exhausting and tiring.
Otro de mis clichés favoritos es el fake romance y matrimonios arreglados por ese me decidí por este libro que llevaba en mi TBR algún tiempo además que ya había leído a la autora y me había gustado.
Este libro es entretenido se lee súper rápido no voy a decir que es el mejor libro que leído sobre esta temática porque no pero si cumple su función I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! It was sweet, funny, fresh, fun and very engaging.
A truly sweet romance. I loved everything about it except for the fact, IT WAS TOOO SHORT!!! : I really hate it when that happens, . . the best stories are always the short ones, . WHY OH WHY!! I could have easily read about Nick and Alexa for a long time, . like oh I dont knoworpages more!! I loved the story and the romance, This book totally brought on my girlygirl, and I couldnt help but swoon and drool, . . yes drool over Nick! What a hottie!
The most hilarious part I cant help but laugh every time I read it:
She narrowed her eyes.
“I see youre the same overbearing bully who teased me about my chest size, Some things dont change. ”
He focused his attention on the dip of her dress, “I guess youre right. Some things remain the same, Others keep expanding. ”
Her breath caught at the jab, but she surprised him when she smiled, “And other things remain small, ” Her pointed stare settled directly on the bulge in the center of his pants,
LMFAO . . that had me laughing for a goodminutes!!! In fact Alexa and Nicks relationship is full of laughter, sweet moments, hot sexy moments of course.
. p, love, and one hell of an emotional roller coaster ride! It was fantastic! I loved how their relationship grows over the course of the story and eventually helps both the main characters overcome their life obstacles.
They both found comfort in each other, and they truly were meant to be together!! I AM COMPLETELY IN LOVE!!! Their romance is hot, its steamy and yeah it gets you hot and bothered.
but that was the best part, . . waiting to see who gave up first! There is plenty of heat and attraction, . . to keep you right at the edge of your seat! YUM YUM YUMMY!!!
Alexa was hilarious, beautiful, witty, sassy, and a strong female character.
I loved her easy going personality and her knack to annoy the
hell out of Nick when she felt like it! LOL p The most amazing thing I admired about Alexa was that she never goes back on her word.
and always keeps her promises and never gives up, It was admirable and it was one of her best qualities!
Nick, well first things first . THIS GUY IS HOT AS IN HOT AS HELL HOT!!! YEAH THATS RIGHT, . just let your imaginations run wild ladies!!! I also loved Nick, Although, he was insecure about many things especially when it came to claiming a wife or having children, he was still a very determined person to make everything work out between him and Alexa.
and really thats all someone can ask for! Right from the beginning you see that he is attracted to Alexa but his feelings dont have any depth.
however through the course of the story, . . you get to not only see Nicks feelings evolve but you also get to see him grow as a person! It was simply.
PERFECT!!
Overall, this was a fantastic book and I really cant find any flaws, . . and even if there were any, . . I wouldnt have noticed cause I was so hooked to the story, I read this all in one freakin day!!!! Thats how much I loved it and couldnt put it down! I was very glad to see Nick and Alexa work out their kinks in their relationship and finally end up together! And the way Nick won Alexas heart.
. . swoon I nearly cried at all the wonderful, and heart felt comments he said wearing a METTS JERSEY hes a Yankees fan, . . and to win Alexa heart he wore her fav teams outfit!!!! What a charmer and heart steeler!! I wouldnt mind a man like Nick! LOL p I cant wait to read the next installment, The Marriage Trap.
This will be Maggie and the Counts story and I CANNOT wait to read this one! Maggie was such a sassy character, and the Count was just PURE HOT ITALIAN MAN, . . YUMMY!! This will be something to read about, . . hopefully its funny as hell! p
Ms, Probst you did a fantastic job, . . and completely have me hooked with your work, just hurry up with the next book, . please smiles sweetly!
