The Marriage Bargain by Jennifer Probst

3.0

This book was okay.

I didn't like Nick very much as he was quick to make assumptions, kept blowing hot and cold, jacked Alexa around and to be honest he was a bit of a dick.

Alexa was better and I quite liked her character. She was nice but she had a backbone which many heroines lack these days.

Gabriella was an added complication that I could have done without. There were quite a few complications in this book that I could have gone without.

The storyline was okay, nothing spectacular and there are better fake relationship books that I've read, such as; [b:Play|19095025|Play (Stage Dive, #2)|Kylie Scott|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1393202794l/19095025._SX50_.jpg|25758268] by Kylie Scott, [b:The Deal|24920901|The Deal (Off-Campus, #1)|Elle Kennedy|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1431282052l/24920901._SY75_.jpg|44100599] by Elle Kennedy, [b:Lady Luck|12958487|Lady Luck (Colorado Mountain, #3)|Kristen Ashley|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327912930l/12958487._SX50_.jpg|18115826] by Kristen Ashley, [b:The Fill-In Boyfriend|18660447|The Fill-In Boyfriend|Kasie West|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1555964577l/18660447._SX50_.jpg|26479163] by Kasie West, [b:Grayson's Vow|25167898|Grayson's Vow|Mia Sheridan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1441022764l/25167898._SY75_.jpg|44872730] by Mia Sheridan, [b:Wife for Hire|15836911|Wife for Hire (For Hire, #1)|Christine Bell|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388708742l/15836911._SX50_.jpg|21575369] by Christine Bell, to name a few.
