I would recommend this story to all thriller lovers. This book took me by surprise. It kept me interested throughout the story and I needed to see what was going to happen. I truly enjoyed the pacing of the story and the well-written characters.

Heroin was weak and kind of annoying. Hero was just too much and over the top.

Story was forgettable and I had moved on to another book without remembering to finish this one

DNF

This took me a while to get into the story, it dragged slow at times and I considered DNFing it a few times but I'm glad I didn't. 60%into it the story picked up, had action, had romance, had humor and even murder... I loved all the characters and all eager to see if there's other books on them as well... Good book

A marriage of convenience for Ashlyn and Declan becomes a page turner for me. An exciting, sexy story.

Really beautifully written story with a great set of characters, who all had good rapport and was a nice light pleasurable read, I would highly recommend for all Romance lovers.

<I>What come to mind for The Arrangement? </I> Nothing it was totally forgettable I’d read 18% of the book and somehow completely forgot about the book. And that says it all about the writing. I’d moved onto two other books and it was only on going through my Netgalley listing that I’d realised my mistake. It’s a DNF for me, the storytelling wasn’t gripping enough.

Unfortunately not the book for me. The writing style is quite good, and the blurb certainly piqued my interest, but unfortunately the story just wasn’t to my taste, that being said I can see how others would love it!

Modern day marriage of convenience that works. Very enjoyable.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from the publisher and am voluntarily reviewing it

The story has been told in a 3rd person perspective and while the writing style has been difficult to grasp at first because of the formality, it gets interesting as you read along. I get to understand where Deacon is coming from, he has his own reasons why he proposed an arrangement to Ashlyn. Although, for me, there was no character build up. It's like introducing people, telling us their names and their role, but really I didn't feel any emotions.

This was a sweet fun story! I really enjoyed the characters and the emotions the book brought. What a fun read!

I really enjoyed this book. I thought maybe it would be predictable but it was not. It was funny with unexpected twists and turns.

Ashlyn's father dies unexpectedly, His will states if she wants him to continue paying for her educations he must marry for at least a year. Deacon approaches Ashlyn about her father will. Her father had discussed it with him. Will she accept his offer?

I highly recommend reading this book.

Thank you Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for allowing me to read this title for an honest review.

If you believe that arranged marriages do not exist in this day and age, think again. Arranged marriages might seem medieval, even anti women’s lib, but men and women enter into arranged marriages on their free will.

That’s what happened between Ashlyn Gray and Deacon Cross. Both are rich, and both are scions of Seattle’s elite. But, they need to get married fast for their own reasons. And they have to stay married for at least a year. But, can they?

Ashlyn is all about control. Deacon is all about getting what he wants. Talk about being incompatible. Yet, though they don’t agree, there is a spark between them. They can fan it and make a basis for their relationship. Still, there are secrets that once revealed can end their budding romance, even the beginnings of a friendship.

The Arrangement is Rated T for Teens. Parental advice due to some mature themes.

This book is like a few others where the female is because of her father’s will to marry in two months and stay married for one year. After talking to her friend who says he cannot do it for her. She receives a message from a man named Deacon Castle who after talking to him for two days and not agreeing to all of his terms she agrees to the marriage. For the most part the story is like other stories but I did like her friends Josh and Emma who actually make the story funny and keep it going. The few problems I have with the story is that at the beginning of the book you are led to believe that Castle had spoken to her father before he had drawn the will up, but you don’t hear about any of that. She is also dealing with her feelings or lack of from her mother who has only looked at what is going on in the society pages, it was their house keeper who taught Ashlyn to cook for example, but that is lightly touched on if you don’t pay attention. This book had its moments and I did like the supporting characters.

This was the standard Marriage of convenience book. It had its moments and some of the banter and back and forth worked. The plot points were a bit different and at one point the couple realizes they have interest and desire.

It was fine but was not a favorite.

This is a charming little marriage of convenience book. I enjoyed the chemistry between Deacon and Ashlyn and the plot has some unexpected twists and turns along way. It was a fun read and I look forward to checking out more Jennifer Lewis books in the future.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Unfortunately, the romance got a little to hot and heavy for my taste. So I didn't finish. Which is a shame, i loved the story-line. Not for me, but certainly for someone else.

I just finished The Arrangement. It was such a wonderful book. I give it 5 stars. Great read. It's about two people who need to be married to inherit & a man who needs to be married to get his son from Africa.. The mother is a drug addict. They signed a contract for one year. They were very attracted to one another and compatible. Things changed after they married and were expecting a baby. Kidnapping, taken to Africa and saved. It's so worth the read.

So, The Arrangement is a cliche book which include a forced marrige for almost a year. A succesfull, handsom man and a wealthy woman who she's know what will do with her work but not with her life.

Let's talk about about the parts that I didn't like much.

First of all why, this will it's from the side of Aslyn and not for the side of Deacon? And what's about the time to be married? What's the reason of 1 year? Why not longer? If it was for Deacon I could understand the time of expire, but for Aslyn? Nope.

My next problem was with the character of Aslyn. She was supposed to get her doctorate in psychology right?
-Right..
So for what reason she was so normal? With all the thoughts and fears and agony that we have all us when we don't study psychology? Aslyn was a insecure, full of doubts person
I have some more things to tell but I don't want to spoil so ...

So let's talk about the parts I like most...

Character of Deacon. Perfect.. (strong, fair, honest, sensitive) he was a man who you can trust..
The part of the hostage was quite good. But honestly all the book was delicious to read as far as Deacon's part is concerned.

2,5 stars

On beginning this book, you could almost tell immediately what was going to happen in the book. While yes, that did happen as I thought, there was more of a story there than you thought there was going to be so it wasn't too bad a read.

A cute marriage of convenience story. I enjoyed it but felt that the middle dragged on.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my review. All opinions are my own.
