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....

Am I Listening to the Same Book?

Now let me say, I really loved The Marriage Bargan so I know Jennifer Probst writing is excellent.

Perhaps my experience with this novel would have been better without the awful narration. Unfortuantely,I couldn't even get through the story. The narrator soundsl like she's reading with strange pauses in between and very little inflection. I think if I had read the book rather than listened to it, I would have had a much better opinion.

I struggled to get through it...

What would have made The Marriage Mistake better?

I struggled the most with the narrator... The characters dialogue did not flow. For me there was too much sex and too much detail.

Waste of time and money.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Better voice talent.

What was most disappointing about Jennifer Probst’s story?

I've already forgotten the story, but then maybe that's a good thing.

Would you be willing to try another one of Madeleine Maby’s performances?

Definitely not.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Not for me.

Any additional comments?

Can I have my money back?

Meh..

Maybe it was the story or the narration and accents that came and went, but I skipped 6 chapters to get to the end. I was bored and just needed to get through it. Definitely not a keeper.
