Back Cover:

Penny is stuck: her ex-boyfriend Solo Maffeiano owns half her family home, yet she needs to pay off a barrage of debts left by her late father. She has no choice but to agree to Solo's offer: he will pay the debts and restore the dilapidated mansion where they will live - if Penny becomes his wife! She will be his wife, bought and paid for - and he wants a wife in every sense of the word. Their attraction is as strong as ever; their passion is a hundred times more powerful ... Penny discovers she's still in love with Solo - but isn't their marriage just a sham?

Spoiler Warning: All my reviews contain spoilers to some degree     

Favourite Scene:

Solo stopped her by grabbing her wrists and pinning them above her head in one strong hand, and throwing a long leg over her slim hips. 'I'm accepting your offer, Penny.' His grey gaze was intent on her furious face. 'So long as I get exclusive rights to your body for as long as I want.'
'My offer... My body!' she gasped.
'Yes.' His eyes didn't leave her face. 'Starting now,' he insisted with silken emphasis.
 

Back Cover:

Anton Diaz is hell-bent on revenge; he'll seduce and marry the innocent daughter of his enemy. To exact his plan will be no hardship, as Emily Fairfax is as beautiful as she is virginal.

It's only after that Emily realizes Anton is blackmailing her. Yet she can't stop her body betraying her as they spend their days parted in anger and their nights locked in passion..  

Favourite Scene:

‘Ah, Emily, you have been listening to gossip. What was it? I was brought up in a brothel surrounded by willing women,’ he mocked. ‘Sorry to disappoint, but it is not true, though my grandmother did own one,’ he admitted  

Anton Diaz is a pure alpa male!  SEXY and hell-bent on revenge, it is no wonder the heroine Emily gets literally swept away.  Not sure if I liked how the misunderstanding is resolved, but this book is hot and the description of the scenes are beautiful.  A very good read!

Good Read

Back Cover:

Marcus Kouvaris comes back into Eloise Smith's life to collect the debt owed him when her mother fleeced money from his now-deceased uncle. Under the crazy notion that Eloise is sleeping with men in order to get their financial backing, Marcus is going to teach her a lesson and proposes that Eloise be his mistress for a year to pay off the debt. For reasons of her own, Eloise desperately wants to avoid the court system and the media and quickly agrees, but she finds that she has never gotten over loving Marcus.

'You are too soft-hearted for your own good,' he groaned against her throat and, lifting his head, his black eyes lingered on her slightly parted lips. 'You need some­one to take care of you,' and he brushed his mouth over hers in the lightest of kisses. 'Let it be me, and I swear no one will ever hurt you again.' 

A Red Hot Revenge story. And boy did Anton get his comeuppance! See what happens when you try to manipulate someone and get revenge. All thrown up in his face! HAHA! Emily is an likable person, though a bit naive. I liked the story.

Anton Diaz wanted revenge!  He will marry and seduce the daughter of his enemy. 

Once Emily Fairfax realizes that Anto is blackmailing her, she still cannot stop her body from wanting him.  They spend their days parted in anger and their nights locked in passion.

Favourite Scene: (mmm, flatting her onto her back)

“My God, I should give you the good hiding you deserve. But, as you were at pains to point out, you’re a woman now.” Twisting her around, he pushed her flat on her back on the sofa. “A more adult punishment is called for.”  

Interesting story. He is a totally alpha male. Wanted to hit him, if I were her I would have done some things differently.
