A marriage in name only . . .
To save her family home, impulsive bookstore owner Alexa Maria McKenzie casts a love spell. But she never planned on conjuring up her best friend’s older brother—the powerful man who once shattered her heart.
Billionaire Nicholas Ryan doesn’t believe in marriage, but in order to inherit his father’s corporation, he needs a wife and needs one fast. When he discovers his sister’s childhood friend is in dire financial straits, he offers Alexa a bold proposition.
A marriage in name only with certain rules: Avoid entanglement. Keep things all business. Do not fall in love. The arrangement is only for a year so the rules shouldn’t be that hard to follow, right?
Except fate has a way of upsetting the best-laid plans . . .

This book brought so many laughs, I got teary eyed, aggrevated, excited through this whole book, you name its filled with so much emotion and attachment to the charcters. I sat down and read all 400+ pages in less then 5 hours, I couldnt put it down! This was the first adult romance book to buy or read, totally worth it, highly recommend it.

It's not often a category romance packs so much humor AND emotion that I can honestly say I laughed and cried throughout. Fantastic read!

I bought this book because the reviews seemed good. I read it in 3 hours and at the end all i came up with was, Really?! It held no substance and was totally predictable. I guess just coming fresh out of the Fifty Shades Trilogy nothing holds a candle. Nothing compares to Mr Christian Grey. :)

This is one of the better romance stories I have read. I loved the characters ( Alexia and Nick). This story shows that many get married for different reasons...some better than others. More often they end in divorce but some times all yea need is HOPE and HEART.

Absolutely wonderful!! It filled my heart, this book should be a movie. I’d watch it again and again.
As I read this book the words fell away and a movie took its place. I was totally wrapped up in every single word. I loved it!!!

I don't normally read novels with detailed sex scenes, but I loved the story, the characters, etc. I hope Probst will at least make a trillogy out of this. Maybe a little longer read with storyof Maggie & Michael Conte... and of course updates on the other characters!

I enjoyed this book as a quick read with little thought involved. I thought there were great aspects to the story (the dogs/bookstore/the building project) that could have been expanded on and enhanced the story.
As for their attraction and all the deep kisses... enough already, but that's just me maybe. I go for less sex and more story.

Nicely written sincere love story. The premise is a cliche, but it somehow makes sense. Some funnny scenes too andvery likeable characters. Not long and complicated enough to develop the characters into real people....butclose . Definitely recommend for a relaxing evening.

This was a pretty good book. I read it fast and it kept me interested. The ending was slightly corny...I think the author could have done a better job and I had the feeling it was hurried... I would recommend it, if you are looking for a cute love story. Highly unlikely story, but cute.
