About this listen
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?

Story
Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

It all started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends. Though “friends” might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn… Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Heiress Daphne Ryan is uncertain about spending a week at the sprawling country estate of the family of her sister’s boyfriend. For starters, she doesn’t get along with her sister. Then there’s the fact his family is old, wealthy aristocracy, and Daphne’s from brash, new American money. Mostly, it’s that everyone knows Duncroft House is haunted by the ghost of a 1920s film star who died there. Deemed an accident, for nearly a century, people are sure it was murder.

Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods...and little old me, Winnie Berlin. Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it's not. It's my reality. It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch, and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble. Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

Not as enjoyable as earlier books in series ...
But still an enjoyable read. The characters weren't as interesting as those in earlier books. I hate when I read a book that continually hint's at the hero's demons and then when they are finally revealed, they are anticlimactic. If the hero is going to be angst ridden for 3/4 of the book, there better be a damn good reason behind it when it is ultimately revealed.
But the author is a skilled writer. She moves the plot along briskly, she reminds you why you liked the returning characters that were introduced in previous books and even though the books are light on the realistic interpretation of the locale, she writes well enough that is forgiven.
Like the earlier books in the series, this is a quick fun read. The author's skill continues to be apparent and I still believe that with the right material she could be a seriously good author.
Narration is great. I don't fault the narrator that there was little to point the reader to the fact that the story took place in Italy and most of the characters were Italian. The author doesn't seem to acknowledge this in the writing.

Expected
I think because I have the other 3 book in this series I felt that everything that happen in the book I expected it to happen. I just knew it was coming. I really wasn't surprised. I was a bit exhausted that it took so long for some events to happen. Zesh! It was good though.. Narration was great too... but Zesh...

Wonderful
Any additional comments?
I loved this series. This book impressed me a lot. I prefer the first one and this one the best. The author made the characters very realistic like they are actual real people you could meet at any time. The story was great to follow along. The only negative is that I wish there was more. I would to liked to know what became of all the characters throughout the series relationships. This was an awesome love story!

Good listen but nothing special
Any additional comments?
This is a typical book. It's a good read but much like a cookie cutter... nothing special and predictable. I like that the character belonged to a big family that everyone has each other's back. I like that characters from previous book make appearance in this book. Is it worth a credit, maybe if you're desperate for something to listen to while on a long trip.

Latest in Series: Marriage to a Billionaire Book 4
What did you love best about The Marriage Merger?
This is a great fantasy, escape. Mama Conte is at it again-ready to know and do what is best for her daughter.
I liked that this delved into a darker past for Sawyer and Wolfe. It may be too much if you are used to Jennifer Probst's more light hearted (fun/silly) work in the previous Marriage Series books.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Use the 'O' word a lot less! It seemed to be the focal point when there was SO much more to explore.
Also, some minor timeline points...she mentions Sawyer's childhood and he (as a child) compares situation to Harry Potter. VERY minor points...
What three words best describe Madeleine Maby’s performance?
Unique, good & varied (although near the end Maggie started sounding like the men)!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, but 2 sessions and getting NOTHING else done was how I did it.
Any additional comments?
NOTE: More graphic and descriptive than her previous books. Some sex and depictions of child abuse.

Excellent series
Didn't want it to end. Loved the narrator! The stories were special, each in its own way. Lots of laughter to be had and sadness but well balanced! Could we but all have a Mama Conti in our lives wisely directing us where to go! Very well done and very descriptive. This author is now officially on my favorites list! Thanks!!!!!
