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....

I enjoy this author and hope Audible will be getting more of her books. The story line is well written and is never boring. The characters are well defined and have such interesting personalities. The narration is spot on, making the listening wonderful.
I've enjoyed this series and getting to know the characters in JP's books.

Not my favorite in the series but still a good rea

Would you listen to The Marriage Mistake again? Why?

No and that's simply because I can never go back and listen to a book again. I'm not sure why and I know most people do but I just can't. To me, listening to a book is all about the surprise of what's next so repetitive listening to me would be boring.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Marriage Mistake?

When the mother caught them in the hotel room. The mother's response was rather interesting and I didn't see that coming.

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

The Italian accent she used irritated me at first because I couldn't help but imagining Carina as this big boobed bimbo which did not mesh with the writer’s portrayal of this smart, educated, sophisticated woman. A little while into the book I started to enjoy it and it made me feel like I was actually listening to some crazy Italians.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I could have but I didn't have a NEED to listen to it in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed how Carina matured and found herself by the end of the book.

Lots of emotion!

This is the last book in the series and seriously I wish Ms. Probst would continue the series. Sawyer anyone??? Hint, hint! I really like the way her books work out the problems, there are no quick fixes. Just read them all and start with the first book, The Marriage Bargain.
Madeleine Maby did an outstanding job with the narration.

Maximus Grey.
