After reading The Marriage Bargain, I was itching to get my hands on the next two books in the series. i am so glad to have finally gotten a chance to read this one! I loved Maggie and Michael in the first book and was hoping against hope that the blind date would work out.

I was disappointed when I started this book that Maggie wasn't already with Michael, but soon couldn't put it down. Michael's sister is wanting to get married and since there was a death bed promise of an ancient tradition being upheld, Michael is forced to "marry" so that his sister can. Michael approaches Maggie with the proposition of pretending to be his wife while they visit his family in Italy. Maggie and Michael have a love hate relationship and are constantly fighting and at each other's throats. But she agrees on the terms that Michael will stay away from her sister-in-law whom she believes Michael is in love with.
Things progress, and the two soon realize that underneath everything they are falling for each other, of course Maggie has had a few things in her past that have turned her off of love and she runs, but Michael continues to fight for her and things turn out wonderful. I can't wait to read about Carina in the next book! ( )

Why do I continue to choose these books lately? I couldn't stand Maggie at all....I hate to end a romance novel wishing the H would have found somebody else! Why can't these authors understand there are so many of us who want to read more of the "togetherness/in love" parts and less of the "keep pushing them away to protect my oh so fragile heart"! It gets OLD fast! ( )

Not as good as the first one. Maggie REALLY annoyed me for much of this book. I understand she had issues, but she was just downright mean to Michael. And I'm not sure how I feel about that trick Michaels mom pulled. And don't get me started on Max. He's going to have to really be something special in the next book for me to root for him. We'll see.

Solid 3 stars for this. Not as good as book 1. ( )

Este libro es un plagio, si es que puede llamarse plagio cuando un autor se copia así mismo.



Tenemos la misma trama de [b:The Marriage Bargain|13486122|The Marriage Bargain (Marriage to a Billionaire, #1)|Jennifer Probst|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1329319988s/13486122.jpg|19022487]; hechizo de amor, matrimonio fingido, los protagonistas tienen sexo y se dan cuenta que se aman pero no se atreven a confesarlo. Con la única excepción de que aquí la formula NO funciona. Me aburrió enormemente -incluso las escenas "sexys" dan pereza leerlas- y pase de largo muchísimas paginas.



No esperaba leer una obra maestra ni nada por el estilo, pero si hubiera querido volver a leer The Marriage Bargain, hubiese vuelto a leer The Marriage Bargain. ( )

3.5 stars ( )
