Taylor McGuire, a hardworking single mom with a PhD in psychology, believes that compatibility is the key to a successful marriage. Bestselling relationship guru Jonathan Kirby believes it's sexual chemistry. So when these two former lovers meet up on national TV, it's more than just a difference of expert opinion that sets the sparks flying between them. And when Taylor puts forth her theory on love, Jonathan can't help but challenge: "Want to bet?" So begins an unconventional contest--forty couples involved in a monthlong mock marriage for a chance to win one million dollars--which puts Taylor's and Jonathan's professional reputations on the line. As the competition heats up, so does the attraction. And as they fall for each other, the two experts realize that love is not a science...sometimes it's just magic.

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.
Some sizzling moments...

'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.
Married for a Month
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
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!!
