Sex wasn’t supposed to be part of the deal…
Three years into a marriage of convenience, Molly’s high-powered CEO husband wants to add a new term to their marriage agreement. Sex – without any messy emotional entanglements. But weekly sex with Luke, despite their carefully negotiated terms, is likely to get messy eventually.
Content in a mutually beneficial arrangement, Molly isn’t going to fall for Luke the way she fell for an old lover, only to be crushed in the end. She vows to stay strong, no matter how much intimacy develops between them in bed. When her old lover returns, finally wanting a real relationship, Molly has the chance to give her heart to a man who will accept it.
It’s too bad she now wants to give it to her husband, who has never admitted her heart is what he wants.
A great read and for FREE. A Negotiated Marriage by Ms. Adams was on Amazon’s top Free Kindle Books list. I decided to download it after reading a really emotional book and needed something fun and easy to read. A Negotiated Marriage was exactly what I wanted.

It’s a common plot used in romance books, and what differentiates the good ones from the bad ones is the way that the plot is written and developed. Sadly, this one missed the mark entirely.Â

The book only covers the end of the story – when they start having sex. The writing style was dull and lifeless – which didn’t help. I felt like I was reading one…
