About this listen
The women of Bliss County have a pact - to find husbands. The right husbands. One already has: Hadleigh Stevens, who married rancher Tripp Galloway a few months ago. Now Melody Nolan thinks it's her turn. Melody has recently found success as a jewelry designer, and her work is the focus of her life. She's not exactly unhappy, but she wants more. She's always been attracted to Spence Hogan, the local chief of police, but she's convinced that Spence, a notorious charmer, isn't what you'd call husband material. Spence is a good cop who isn't scared of anything - except love. And he's done everything he can to preserve his reputation as a womanizer - a reputation that keeps marriage-minded women, including Melody, at bay. And yet... there's something about Melody he can't forget. Something his heart can't ignore.

Story
Ten years ago, Hadleigh Stevens was 18 and this close to saying "I do", when Tripp Galloway interrupted her walk down the aisle. Now that she's recovered from her youthful mistake and Tripp's interference, Hadleigh and her single friends form a marriage pact. She doesn't expect Tripp to meddle with her new plan to find Mr. Right - or to discover that she's more attracted to him than ever! Divorced and eager to reconnect with his cowboy roots, Tripp returns to Bliss County to save his ailing father's ranch. He's not looking for another wife - certainly not his best friend's little sister.

Slater Carson might be a businessman by trade, but he's a cowboy at heart - and he knows the value of a hard day's work under the hot Wyoming sun. So when he sees troubled teen Ryder heading down a dangerous path, he offers the boy a job on the ranch he shares with his two younger brothers. And since Ryder's temporary guardian is the gorgeous new resort manager, Grace Emery, Slater figures it can't hurt to keep a closer eye on her as well.

There was trouble in Haven, Arizona, and Ranger Sam O'Ballivan was determined to sort it all out. He arrived posing as the new schoolteacher, and his first order of business was to bring the rough ranchers' children under control. To that end, he called on Maddie Chancelor, the local postmistress, whose younger brother was in firm need of discipline. Sam wasn't sure what to expect - but it was definitely not this graceful woman whose prim, proper stance was so at odds with the fire in her eyes.

He certainly doesn't need an identical twin brother he never knew existed turning up out of the blue and telling him what to do. Even less does he want pretty Aislinn Lethaby trying to rescue him from danger. Because, to tell the truth, Aislinn is a sweet distraction from duty whom Shay just can't resist.

Sweet story with romance and some mystery too.
This was a very good read with a second chance romance and a lot of side stories too. I especially enjoyed this one because the author didn’t turn it into an over the top sexual drama as she has sometimes done.

Enjoyed it!
This book was entertaining, lively and had its funny moments. Especially liked Ralph, Waldo and Emerson the trio of identical cats. (I also have 3 identical cats). It would’ve been nice if her 3 cats got along with Harley the dog. Jack Garret did a wonderful job narrating this book.

Enjoyed the story and always like Jack Garrett
If you could sum up The Marriage Charm in three words, what would they be?
Enough mystery to keep me interested and enough romance to be fun
Any additional comments?
Ms. Miller added color by having Mel own 3 identical calico cats. She obviously knows cat behavior but I must point out that a male calico is a very rare thing to find. My vet said it would be a freak of nature. Ms Miller has 3 male calicos!

Smooth Transition into this Second Volume
The author does a great job of reminding the listener of characters and plot from the first volume in the series.
There is humor, romance and a little intrigue.
And Jack Garrett's narration is perfect.

Yuck
I usually enjoy LLM’s books but the only thing I enjoyed about this one was Jack Garrett narration which was superior as always. The “hero” appears to be an insensitive jerk who chooses a stupid ploy to win the heroine over. How about being honest and understanding instead?
Every now and then Ms Miller writes a book, usually a second time around story, where the “hero” seems to totally disregard the heroine’s current feelings and the pain she suffered at the time of the original breakup. Instead he uses their chemistry to get what he wants while poking fun or “riling her up” for his personal enjoyment. Bah !
