To satisfy his late father’s wishes, hot and single billionaire Michael Conte must find a bride—someone who will fit into his traditional family back home in Italy—and fast, so his engaged sister will be allowed to wed. With no intention of being tied down, Michael “proposes” to fiery, free-spirited photographer Maggie Ryan: if she will play the part of his fiancée during her trip to Milan for a photo shoot, he will keep away from her married best friend, Alexa, and stop making Maggie nuts with their too-close-for- comfort flirtations.
But once in Italy, sexual tension sparks the hottest no-strings- attached arrangement on any continent. Could marriage be the most enticing trap of all?

Not very well written. Time line and locations were confusing. She jumped around without clear transitions or direction. The characters were not developed any more than the story line. The issues, sexual tension, romance was bad. A waste of time.

After months of waiting for the sequel, I enjoyed it even though I was too short. The author sketches her characters with just enough development to flesh our the characters for this type of fiction, but not so much as to drag out the narrative. Moving the setting to Italy was a brilliant idea. The author has clearly traveled the area and her familiarity with the culture makes the book more believable.
It is not as good as The Marriage Bargan, but I reccomend it as a nice "act two" that is worth the effort.

The book was good but not for $7.99. The book was really short and a little boaring.

This series is one of my all time favorites! However, I would have to say that this is deffanitly my favorite of all three! I think it's easier to relate this story over the others.

Great story and the continuation of Petal, Ga. series. I enjoy how Ms. Dane involves the character from past books and the Chases' series. Beth Murphy is loving, smart and has a bawdiness about her and she definitely wants her brother's best friend, who has just moved back to Petal. Joe Harris is sexxy, but is carrying his own baggage. They're perfect. Ready for the next book!

This my second time reading the series. I enjoyed this book thoroughly. It was difficult putting it down. It is funny at times as well as romantic and sexy. There were also situations that brought tears. Finding or discovering love is not always easy. Enjoyed the family interaction as well.

The things a man will do for his family, especially an Italian family. I love this follow up to the Marriage Bargain. This book is filled with humor, strong willed females, love, romance and not the usual story line of a “man-in-need-of-temporary-wife”. The sparks definitely fly between Michael and Maggie to make this a book you will not want to put down. This is a must read book. I give it 5 stars and a heat warning of 3 flames.

“Ms. Probst quickly made a fan out of me with each installment of Marriage to a Billionaire, making her an auto follow. Whatever this Lady writes, I will read!!!” ~Under the Covers
Michael Conte had taken his father’s place after he passed away. The role of a protector. He would do anything for his family; financially, guidance, moral support, even to the extent of pretending to be married. And Maggie Ryan will do the same. Anything for her brother and best friend since they are the only family she’s got. Michael and Maggie come into an agreement to go to Italy in the pretense of a happy marriage…to each other. If you read Marriage Bargain, you can predict that this situation will be far from pretty. But to my surprise, Ms. Probst did a wonderful job pairing these two. Marriage Trap is cute, romantically funny and it was damn sexy!
I have to admit that Ms. Probst made a couple out of the two people who I least expected. After meeting Michael and Maggie in The Marriage Bargain, I couldn’t see any kind of future for them. I didn’t think Maggie’s resentment and thoughts of Michael trying to get into Alexa’s pants could get past anywhere but hate. But she did it. She put them into a situation where they had no choice but to get passed their false opinions of each other. One Thing I was certain of though is that Michael was very passionate with his friends, family and in the art of seduction. The man can seduce me right through the pages.
But I can’t help but wonder how much The Book of Spell has to do with Michael and Maggie’s fate or a certain old lady (Momma Conte) who seems to cry wolf at the right time. She was sweet, seems to know everything and boy did this lady had something up her sleeve. The other characters were of course a delight, specifically Cara and Max which sets the stage for the next book, Marriage Mistake. I can tell you now THAT book is my fave of the three.
Over all Marriage Trap is a highly recommended read, along with Marriage Bargain and Marriage Mistake. Ms. Probst quickly made a fan out of me with each installment of Marriage to a Billionaire, making her an auto follow. Whatever this Lady writes, I will read!!!
