I throughly enjoyed this story. Taylor McGuire and Jonathan Kirby, both Ph.Ds in psychology, meet by accident but do have a history. Both have theories about successful marriages and end up testing the them in Marriageville, TX. Each has 20 couples matched that must live together for 1 month. The couples we meet are a larger-than-life Texan manicurist who wants the computer nerd, the older couple-he is a retired preacher and she's a sad, lonely widow and 30ish divored couple with 3 children that need the prize money. Ms Mallery has written this with so much humor and feeling that I reccomend it to all. Great Book!!

'Married for a Month' by Susan Mallery is fun lighthearted romance novel. Taylor and Jonathan are both psychologists who set out to decide which of their marriage theories is correct. The author develops a few of the contest couples and how their romances or lack of develops. The twist between Taylor and Jonathan is that they knew each other 17 years ago and for the next month, they are working, eating and sharing secrets with each other. Enjoy ! I would also suggest reading Falling For Gracie by Susan Mallery.

Reunited after 17 years, psychologists Taylor & Jonathan appear on a talk show outlining their opinions of what makes a marriage work. Taylor believes it is through shared interests that a marriage can be sustained, while Jonathan believes nothing can survive without "heat." After goading by the hostess, they enter into a bet, a la Temptation Island, where 40 couples and paired up and have to live together in a mock marriage for a month for a chance to win a million bucks. Half the couples have shared interest; the other half have "heat". The psychiatrist with the most relationships still standing will have their theories validated. Making matters more interesting is the romantic past the two shared (and a huge bombshell she's kept from Jonathan), as well as the heat that's still present.

Mallery has penned a cheeky and light romance novel with plenty of sizzle, humorous situations, and several distinct couples that are all fully developed characters. I would have liked the spotlight placed on the primary couple a little more, but overall, it was definitely a good beach read.

This book featured the main couple Taylor and Jonathon as well as three other couples especially the one where the guy was a virgin and she was supposed to be a sexpot. Quite frankly I found the storyline of the other couple's more interesting than the main couple. However, quite enjoyable read.

I always enjoy books by Susan Mallery.When I can no longer find them in the bookstore I send to Amazon. The book was in decent condition and I have passed it on to a friend.

This book definately fulfilled the Polly Anna ideas I have in life. The characters were adorable and sweet. The competition between the two psychologists was a new twist on a story. Although there are many couples in the contest we only meet a few of them,which was okay but had me wondering about the non existant ones.
There were some very hot scenes in this book as well. This was my first read by this author and I truly enjoyed it and found myself smiling while reading this book.

Another great book from Susan Mallery. You can't go wrong with any of her books!!
