About this listen

Logan Ward doesn't want any more women in his life.

Being a football player and legal guardian to his four younger sisters means his playbook is full. However, one of them just landed in the hospital, which gives his brother the shot he needs to challenge Logan for custody. Legal counsel says there's only one thing Logan can do - find himself a wife.

Paige McKinney doesn't always think things through.

Like walking away from her modeling career without a thought of what might come next. She really doesn't think it through when she proclaims herself Logan's fiance at the hospital, simply because the sexy - albeit grumpy - football player forgot his cell phone at a party and security won't let her pass. It's not her fault it was overheard by the worst possible person.

A bargain is struck, and a fake marriage is the perfect solution. But the simple solution creates a whole new problem: They're not as different as they seem. The reluctant groom has fire inside him, and his impetuous bride is about to light the match.

Contains mature themes.

Loved the story line

The Marriage Effect by Karla Sorensen is the third book in the Washington Wolves Series, which is a marriage of convenience, sports romance.

This story had so many WTF moments that it made me giggle more than I expected. I think because Paige and Logan are so opposite of each other, that it made me feel this way.

I loved that Paige and Logan had been background characters in previous books that ended up having their own story.

The story is dual POV’s from both Paige and Logan.

Mutually beneficial arrangement

I really enjoyed this book with the diversity of Logan’s sisters. So many laughable moments and the heartbreak had me in tears. Thought Paige’s make up to family could of have had more depth and magic but was still a loving moment.
Enjoy this light hearted series.

Paige and Logan match

I felt like the relationship between the two main characters was not developed enough. They barely had spoken to each other before they got married and then didn't even spend that much time together before getting it on. Just couldn't invest in the characters because of this. Also wasn't a fan of the female narrators voice for the heroine.

Just so so
