I have to admit, the hot cover was the first thing that drew me to the book. And was I glad that the content justified it. In spades.
It all started with her and his list of Mr/Ms Right.
Hers :
1) A Mets fan,
2) loves books, art and poetry,
3) believes in monogamy,
4) wants children,
5) knows how to communicate with a woman,
6) loves animals,
7) has a morale code of ethics and believes in honesty,
8) a good lover
9) has a strong sense of family,
10) has $150,000 cash available.

Genre: Contemporary romance
Alexa squirmed in her seat as the silence in the BMW stretched between them. Her husband-to-be seemed just as uncomfortable, he chose to focus his energy into his MP3 player. She tried not to wince when he settled on Mozart. He actually enjoyed music without words. She almost shuddered again when she though of sharing a residence with him. For. An. Entire. Year.

The Marriage Bargain is a romance novel by Jennifer Probst. I was in B&N 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 B&N offers for their Nook customers. I instantly fell in love with this story. I hadn't even read for the full hour yet, was only 20 pages in before I decided to purchase it and continue on!

I'm into contemporary romance lately, so the hype over this book pulled me in, but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. It also wasn't as steamy as the cover would suggest, but it was an easy read to pass the time with and it wasn't as bad as many others I've read, so I've got to go with 2 stars for 'It was ok'.

She gave an unladylike snort. “You want a Stepford wife without the sex. Haven’t you learned anything about women since you were fourteen?”
“I learned plenty. That’s 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.”

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 don’t know 500 or 600 pages more!! I loved the story and the romance. This book totally brought on my girly-girl....and I couldn’t help but swoon and drool......more

The fact that I’m up at 1:14 in the morning writing a review for this book tells you how much I liked this book. I’ve read a lot of the arranged-marriage-then-fall-in-love books, the best of them was Yours for the Taking by Robin Kaye but this book came pretty close to it.
Alexandria McKenzie needs money to pay off her parents mortgage loan and Nicholas Ryan needs a wife for a year so that he can get his inheritance. Maggie, Nicks sister and Alexa’s best friend suggests to Nick that he should mar...more

The Marriage Bargain, is a quick and light read. One which took me by surprise. I expected this book to be the cliche-marriage for convenience turn into love happily ever after. Boy, did I get something different. Nick Ryan was just that perfect imperfect man. Rational, headstrong, and handsome. Alexa was just plain badass.

This was most definitely an enjoyable and fun read. I found myself laughing out loud quite a few times at the banter between Alexa and Nick, the two main characters.
She narrowed her eyes. “I see you’re the same overbearing bully who teased me about my chest size. Some things don’t change.”
He focused his attention on the dip of her dress. “I guess you’re right. Some things remain the same. Others keep expanding.”
Her breath caught at the jab, but she surprised him when she smiled. “And ot...more

Sooo... I am part of a "what are you reading now?" discussion & saw a couple of people comment on this book. I had never heard of it before, but though I'd give it a try since they said it was a short read & inexpensive on Amazon. I couldn't put it down & enjoyed every bit of it. The book was more of a 4.5 star, but gave it a 5 since I didn't want to sell it short. The only thing I would have changed is making it longer... It was definitely too short.

This book right here is the reason why I'm so willing to give small press and selfpublishing a chance. This book right here is the reason why I so patiently roam Amazon and Goodreads, looking for new and undiscovered authors, why I put up with a lot of really bad books in the hopes they will lead me to something like this.

I planned to give this four stars, because so much of it was fun and entertaining. I am not a contemp romance fan in general. This book hit the spot for me though. I had read a few emotionally intense stories, and needed something lite and funny. This fit perfectly. I guess I was not wowed by the last 20% of the book, so it lost a half star for falling short in the end.

Having never read this author before, I went into The Marriage Bargain with little expectations. I was surprised how easy a read it turned out to be.
My overall impression of the book was a good one, and the blurb does a good job of explaining the story. No real surprises, no real curve balls, and the main characters get from A to B in pretty much the exact way you'd expect them to, but the journey was a good one - quick paced, entertaining, and realistic.
