Very disappointed, I dislike it.  Lucas-loving & forgiving.  Sofie-selfish, inconsiderate, lying, demanding.  Story plot-too many contradictions, I am totally lost.  NFM

Lucas Antonetti has tracked down his runaway bride after six years.  He has plans now to make her pay for her desertion by forcing her to act as his wife both in and out of the bedroom.

Sofie never revealed why she walked out of their marriage. She refused to tell Lucas that she is being stalked.

Another Tall, Dark and Sexy book. I wasn't so sure about this one, but ended up liking it. Lucas is an interesting character. Sofie is another conclusion jumper! But, glad they managed at the end to work it out and it was so sad (not!) what happened to Gary.

Very cute story.  The reason Sofie left Lucas was a little weak but the story was ok.  Tom was the cutest kid ever.  He was adorable.  This one is good for one more read.

"Lucas Antonetti was furious when Sofie left him shortly after their honeymoon. But six years later he has tracked her down and can finally have his runaway bride pay the price of her desertion: she's still his wife and she will act as one-both in and out of the bedroom!

Lucas doesn't know the real, heartbreaking reason Sofie walked out on their marriage. But it's only a matter of time before he discovers her other secret.... And when Lucas finds he has a son, his desire for vengeance is even stronger!"

4 Stars! ~~~ This was a fun, flirty, delightful read!

The Playboy’s Proposal by Amanda Browning

Harlequin Presents # 2258 ~ June 2002

Sofie has good reason to have run out on her marriage just after the honeymoon, and to have kept the birth of her son Tom secret from her husband. When he finds them by chance five years later, he wants his son, and he wants revenge on the wife he still desires.

The plan is to bed her, not wed her . . .

Samantha Lombardi was in love with lawyer Ransom Shaw.  But, forced to marry another man to save her family from financial ruin, she had to convince Ransom that she'd never loved him at all.
