Book Review: Bargaining with the Bride: Honeybrook Love, Inc. Novel One by Allison Gatta


Book: Bargaining with the Bride: Honeybrook Love, Inc. Novel One
Author: Allison Gatta


One month before her wedding, Rachel Ford finds herself without a groom.  Knowing the drama she’ll face if her parents find out that she’s once again embarrassed them, she decides a fake marriage, followed by a quiet divorce is a better option.  Rachel’s boss and friend Garret Adams is willing to step up and play the part of devoted fiancé.  In return for his help, Rachel agrees to let Garret “study” their relationship for his matchmaking company. 

Overall, I enjoyed the book.  I did find numerous misspelled words and grammatical errors though, which is always a big deal for me. In fact, there were enough of them that I thought it deserved one less star because of the editing, or lack of.   Though several other reviewers blasted the book for its unbelievable story plot, but I liked the story. I liked the fact that Rachel and Garret had been right under each other’s noses all along.  They were both so busy with their lives that they took very little notice of each other as anything other than friends and co-workers.  To me that base of friendship makes their budding romance so much more solid and real.  And to be honest, that is much more accurate that the instant chemistry storyline that so many other books follow.  This was a 3 star read for me; 4 stars for the story line, less the 1 star deduction for poor editing. 

I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
