Publisher's summary

Carina Conte has had a crush on her brother Michael’s best friend, Max Gray, since she was a teenager back home in Italy. Now she’s earned her MBA and come to work at Michael’s new venture, America’s fastest-growing bakery empire. But some things never change: Her overprotective family still treats her like a child. With three drop-dead gorgeous siblings, she’s still the ugly duckling of the bunch. And Max, the company’s new CEO, still barely notices her.

Max knows Carina Conte is strictly off-limits, for the sake of his job and his friendship with Michael. But hot-blooded lust wins out at a conference when the two share a scorching one-night stand - and are busted by her mother! Now, forced by old-world Italian tradition into a marriage he’s not ready for, Max is miserable - and Carina is furious. Her new husband is about to realize that hell hath no fury like a woman transformed....

Good story

This is the 3rd book in the series and I must say I enjoyed it the most. While all the stories are a little predictable the characters are well developed and I felt like I knew these characters from the other 2 books, so hearing their story was a joy.

Narration is good. It is easy to tell the characters apart and I enjoyed the listen.

I cannot wait for book 4!

OOPS! Read this for Marriage Merger

I did my review for this book on the wrong book: Wow - #2 and 3 in this series are devoted to exasperating and unlikely female characters. I only read this one to get to the fourth, and well, the hot scenes are well done.

BUT the Marriage Merger is the best of the series. Characters with more depth and that you can actually like!

totally fun, can't wait for the series to continue

if you haven't tried the Marriage series, give it a whirl. you might just enjoy them as much as i have, and i'm always so excited for the next one to come out. the narration is terrific, the characters are endearing and fun, but the best part is how mamma gets involved in every story. gotta love her. the love scenes are wonderful. jennifer does a superb job. definitely worth a credit.
