Marilyn Pappano

Anna Sebastiani is the youngest Princess of Montebello. 

This was a great book about getting away from it all, and finding love in the last place that you ever expected it especailly when you are not looking for it in the first place.

This is a Great one...Read it in one setting...didn't want to put it donw. The characters draw you in and you want a happy ending to the story. Good suspense but that was secondary to the development of the characters and the love interest. Would definitely read another of her books!

Yeah, and here's another review that I accidentally put in my personal blog (like I'd ever keep up w/ that, sheesh! I don't kid myself...)

Amanda is a stripper – an exotic dancer about to leave to become a high-school teacher and Rick is the barman, actually a cop working undercover to discover what happened to the dancers who have disappeared. Is Amanda involved or just an innocent bystander? Will Rick realise that he knows her from home?

Jennifer delayed evacuating during a hurricane so that she could get evidence of wrongdoing against Taylor, her murderous police chief husband but he caught her before she could get away, tried to drown her and only gave up because the river carried her away. Now her twin Jessica is back pretending to be Jennifer so she can get the evidence.

Forbidden Stranger by Marilyn Pappano was a great read.

From the back cover:
