3.5 I love arranged marriages and contract troupes ..they always end up with delicious results. The Marriage Bargain while completely predictable was a fun fast read and one I thoroughly enjoyed. All the ingredients were there; sexual attraction, fear of commitment, tension and bittersweet moments. Alexa was a strong, caring, romantic character and I just clicked with her. Nicholas is our damaged, pretty boy who needs Alexa more then even he can imagine. The chemistry felt genuine and there was a nice mix of tender and funny moments.
1: Nem értem miért olvasok ilyeneket, mikor mindig kiborulok tőlük...
2: Annyira érdekes, hogy a nők ennyire szomjaznának a pornóra? Ha egy pasi olvasna ennyi szexet tartalmazó könyvet (és ez még lájtos), akkor már lenne fintorgás, de így rózsaszín cukorhabba csomagolva..
3: Ha még egyszer leírva volna, hogy nedvességtől patakzó szemérme falnak megyek
4: Még egy erős sérült férfi, hurrá! Kezdem érteni miért tartanak ott a mai nők ahol..
5:Abba kéne ezeket hagynom, igen nagy a valószínűsége, hogy nem írnak olyat ami nekem tetszene.

The author is able to create complex, layered characters that are loveable. She creates a great amount of tension, propelling the story forward and making me unable to put it down. Any romance which keeps you involved when the first sex scene is 3/4's through the book must be decent.
A business like marriage that was supposed to be in name only; beneficial to both parties, with no romantic feelings involved. The catch? The happy couple have to stay married for a full year. Sounds easy enough… But like a lot of things, this particular situation is a lot easier said than done.
The Marriage Bargain is a cute romance read with a few good doses of humor thrown in the mix. There is a fire and chemistry between Alexa and Nick that works. It reminded me of the old saying opposites attract. Detailed review: http://lifeasabookaddict.blogspot.com/2012/08/book-review-marriage-bargain-by.html

Great story but it was too short! Could have read a lot more about Nick and Alexa.
The Marriage Bargain is a feel-good romance to the T. While predictable, it was perfect for chaotic days when I just needed to get lost in a good book and enjoy a story with minimum drama.
It is a fake marriage, enemies to lovers, billionaire romance. Alexa wants to help her parents, so they don't lose their family home. But even if her bookstore is doing well, she doesn't have the money to pay their mortgage. Nicholas is a well-known architect who is set to inherit his uncle's business. But there is one clause on will that requires him to be married.
The solution? To get married even if they despise each other. Their banter and bickering are hilarious. They really know how to push each other's buttons. But, they very quickly discover their attraction is impossible to ignore, and there is more than a simple one-year marriage agreement.
This book made me laugh. I didn't mind guessing how it was going to unfold. Sometimes a good old, classic romance is exactly what I need.

I picked this one up because it was highly recommended on a book list site I visit frequently. This is a typical modern romance with a bit of spice. I admit I was hooked on the characters up until about 3/4 in, then it basically turned into all spice and very little story development. There were jumps in the timeline that took a minute for me to process. The conflict seemed to run in circles for a chapter or two, then all-at-once, everything was tied up in a too-neat ending. I really wanted to give this one 4 stars, but the last 1/4 of the book kept me stuck on just 3 stars. Recommend for modern romance lovers.
