I love the marriage of convenience story line. Two strangers or almost strangers coming together in marriage for everything except love… and discovering that not every relationship that lasts starts out the same way. The Arrangement is one of those stories. Ashlyn has several shocks delivered in quick shots, the next worse than the one before.. Her father’s death. And his will that clearly states that if she does not marry within two months… two months!.. she loses her inheritance, her home and to make it even worse her mother gets the boot with no inheritance as well. What in the world was Daddy thinking?
Fortunately for Ashlyn, Deacon needs a wife, like yesterday. These two might make a real marriage out of this “convenience”… if they don’t destroy each other first. The sexual tensions run high, they really do fit together well in spite of how they got married, but can they get past their stubbornness and belief that nothing lasts forever. I had fun with The Arrangement, and I’ll let you discover just how this couple finds their way from convenience to a happy ever after ending.
If you’re in the mood for a fun, sexy, intriguing romantic romp then you’ll have fun with The Arrangement. There is nothing logical about falling in love, and Ashlyn and Deacon are about to discover that little fact. I’m going to head on over to Amazon and pick up The Proposal, can’t wait to get started on that one.
