Guest Review: The Marriage Merger – Jennifer Probst

Her sisters have found wedded bliss with their wealthy,
wonderful dream men, but not Julietta Conte. She’s stayed
on terra firma as top executive of the family’s corporation,
La Dolce Famiglia bakery. Work is her passion, and her
trendy Milan apartment her sanctuary . . . until Sawyer
Wells, a masculine masterpiece in a suit, lures her out of
hiding with an irresistible offer: an exclusive partnership
with his international chain of boutique hotels.

Julietta’s been burned before—and trusting her brother-in-
law’s friend, whose powerful gaze alone has her
rethinking the best use of a conference room, is the
riskiest proposition. But with a once-in-a-career chance
to take the bakery global, will she mix stone-cold business
with red-hot seduction?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

When her brother-in-law’s friend Sawyer Wells proposes an exclusive deal in his new international chain of exclusive hotels Julietta Conte jumps at the chance. It is just another way to showcase her family’s business, La Dolce Famiglia bakery, and prove to her family that she is more than capable of being its top executive. Her sisters have found their happiness in marriage, but Julietta has contented herself with being a phenomenal business woman. What she doesn’t anticipate is the intense desire she feels for Sawyer, forcing her to rethink her mantra of not mixing business with pleasure.

Juliette is a take no prisoners corporate leader who works hard to make her family’s company successful. She is a strong, independent woman navigating through a man’s world and makes no apologizes for doing so. Unfortunately all her success in business leaves her at a lose for how to navigate her personal life, especially when it comes to men. Her insecurity shines through and makes her vulnerable to Sawyer in a way that she never anticipated. To say Sawyer had a rough upbringing is putting it mildly, but he is able to rise above it to become a successful businessman. He desperately wants to show Julietta a good time in the bedroom but even he is unprepared for the feelings that come about from their liaison. Jennifer Probst is able to skillfully portray both a strength and vulnerability among both the characters that have to decide whether they are willing to risk it all on the line for the chance at something more.
