    "Very predictable-Enjoyed the read"
    Would you listen to The Marriage Bargain again? Why?

    It was entertaining, humorous at times and just a good read.


    What other book might you compare The Marriage Bargain to and why?

    As with all these "romantic" "love" "lust" they are predictable.


    Have you listened to any of Coleen Marlo’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    Coleen did a good job with the voice adjustments. At times, it was hard to know which voice she was trying to get to, but overall her performance was very well done. I liked her sarcastic tones, and quippy attitued in her voice. I wouldn't hesitate to have her read another book.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Amusing-


    Any additional comments?

    I enjoyed the book, it was fast paced-didn't drag. I liked the fact that Alexa was an "under dog" and worked for what she believed in.

    "Great romance! Don't Wait!"

    I truly loved this story.
    I laughed, I cried a bit, I smiled and overall very satisfying!
    I know it's a great book when I listen before bed and I look down and it's 12:30 am.
    I couldn't stop listening! I can't wait to listen to the next one. Only wish there were more than 2!
    The narrater was excellent!
    5 stars all the way across...

    Story
    "Narration is so bad it can not be understood"
    Would you try another book from Jennifer Probst and/or Coleen Marlo?

    NO


    What was most disappointing about Jennifer Probst’s story?

    The narration was so bad that I could not understand the story or get into it at all. Im sure the paperback might be ok at best.


    What didn’t you like about Coleen Marlo’s performance?

    I have hundreds of audible books. This was the absolute worst narration of them all. Coleen sounds like a robot in fast forward mode. I even tried slowing it down at half speed to understand it better. Did not work. Horrendous.


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    DISAPPOINTMENT


    Any additional comments?

    Do not buy this book.

    "Reviews Are Misleading"
    Any additional comments?

    The lead female character in this is spunky.... but that is about it. Not worth $24... or a credit. The reviews I read raved it was fun, funny and witty. It is a little, but not a lot. I have been an audible customer for over 5 years...and this is the first review I have posted. I'm doing so because the reviews overstated the quality of the book.

    I don't have time to sit and read. Mother of 3 beautiful kiddoes. Thanks to Audible, I can listen and multi-task at the same-time.

    "PERFECT AND EASY READ/CHICK BOOK"

    Well written and comical. Loved the both characters and how they were perfectly matched for each other. The anticipation of their chemistry that lead up to their love for each other was well balanced. Totally recommend for anyone who wants to read a perfect and easy read. I loved every moment of this. Looking forward to the Second Book -- That's All I'm Saying.

    Story
    "I've Heard Better"
    What disappointed you about The Marriage Bargain?

    The reader and the story were very disappointing. The reader was too breathy and made the characters sound ridiculous. I found the character development very poor to the point where each person seemed like hollow tree stumps.


    Would you ever listen to anything by Jennifer Probst again?

    Maybe.


    Would you be willing to try another one of Coleen Marlo’s performances?

    No.


    What character would you cut from The Marriage Bargain?

    The Count


    Any additional comments?

    There are much better romance novels out there.

    "I don't get hoopla about book"
    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

    No...just did not get sucked in...


    What could Jennifer Probst have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    I don't really know...it just missed the special something that makes me want to go in that book's "world".


    What does Coleen Marlo bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    She made it so the words were not so much "lost in translation".


    If this book were a movie would you go see it?

    No

    Story
    "A TURN PAGE"
    Would you listen to The Marriage Bargain again? Why?

    Probably not. Even enjoying the book a lot it's not the kind of story that I would like to listening again, the end is very predictable.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The romance between the characters, even being an arranged marriage they felt in love and they were very jealous of each other, that made the story a fun quick read with a lot of gorgeous passages.


    Have you listened to any of Coleen Marlo’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    No I haven't, but I will look for more books of this author. I just loved the way it was written, very romantic and with lots of sweet love scenes


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    I don't think it would give a nice movie, it had too be more deep...profound.I"m not sure of the right word to use, perhaps the story was too light. Good just to read.


    Any additional comments?

    I couldn't put down the book, you just want to go on and on to see what will happen in the next chapter. A very nice book the kind of romance that I love to listen.
