The Marriage Bargain
review 1: If I wanted to describe this novel in two word I'd say, "heart wrenching!"It begins with the heroine going to a meeting with her lawyer, to establish communication with her estrange husband and baby boy. Only to pump into her husband and son. We discover that right after the birth of her baby the heroine took off without leaving any trace. The hero is wounded by her actions and he think that she's nothing more than a grasping opportunist. Which is way, way from the truth behind her disappearing.I guessed at her resone for doing that from the very beginning, and I was right! But in spite of that reading about it when she did tell it all in the end was heart breaking. I literally felt that my heart is about to stop and I couldn't stop crying. I was sympathetic with the heroi... morene all along but by the end I was so impressed by her, she was so brave. If it was me I wouldn't have took the choices that she took.I always rave about Abby Green and how good her writing is, this book cemented that for me. Can't wait to read more of her books.
review 2: This was so Bollywood-ish. You have all the masala. Full of angst. Lots of twists and turns. Yet it failed to strike a chord. I just couldn't forgive Rowan for abandoning her new born baby. No matter what the circumstances were. Her logic that it would have hurt Zac more if they had bonded for a very short while. Of course it would hurt but it least he would have got the chance to be close to his mother. Her martyr stance didn't go well with me. I disliked Isandro even more. How could anyone wish someone to be dead? That was despicable. Even if he said those words in a fit of rage and he regretted them immediately, the damage had been done. And it was unforgivable. Both Rowan and Isandro deserve each other for failing to see beyond their nose. less

I almost forgot that I had already read this one a while back. It didn't really hit the mark for me.

4.5 stars An emotional story, but a little too angsty and dramatic. Good chemistry, though.
