When you read so much amazing literature, every now and then you need to take a break and read something that isn't so challenging. I found just that in The Marriage Bargain.
A book that took me a mere 3 hours to read.
This is the perfect, feel good story to throw in your beach bag, and you might even be inclined to leave it in the hotel room or beach house for the next person to find and read. I don't feel compelled to keep this book on my shelf, nor do I feel the need to protect this book as I often do, not wanting anyone else but me to read and enjoy it. It was just a good, light book that made me smile, and desperately miss my husband, who is currently in London.
The Marriage Bargain is a story told time and time again: man inherits a small fortune but can only access it when he takes a wife. Even though I knew that Nick and Alexa would fall in the love by the end of the book, as all stories that begin this way must, I was not able to anticipate how is came to be, which was the refreshing twist to what could been a tired story.
My heart was warmed on this snow day away from school.
Happy reading everyone!
