The Marriage He Demands by Brenda Jackson

Cash Outlaw has something he wants. Brianna Banks has something she wants. Each has the very thing the other needs. With a very good reason, Cash needs an additional fifty acres to make the land he inherited complete. Brianna wants a baby. Having not been satisfied with her sperm bank research and potential donors, Cash is the perfect solution for Brianna, especially when he appeals to her for a business deal. The fact that he is easy on the eyes doesn't hurt either.

The acreage does not mean all that much to Brianna, but she won't simply sell it. Already quite drawn to Cash, she thinks things could work out perfectly Cash is a business man, a man with principles. He will make the deal with Brianna, but with one caveat - marriage. It could even be in name only, but he cannot imagine fathering a baby in what might seem to be a cold, calculated deal. Cash's circumstances come to a surprise to him, as he had been estranged from his mother. Now that he has inherited the ranch, he hopes to expand it, but cannot do so without the rest of the property. When he meets Brianna sparks fly, and her proposition gives him plenty of ideas and visuals.

I am loving this series by Brenda Jackson! In the first book of this engaging series, The Wife He Needs, we met Garth, Cash's cousin, and he also offered a marriage of convenience. I love that this series follows that theme with this book, The Marriage He Demands. The trope is handled quite well, making for a delightful read that really connected me to both characters. This was a quick, satisfying read that I could not put down. I am most definitely looking forward to the third book in the series.

Many thanks to Harlequin Desire and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
