honor

Back Cover:

Rhiannon Davies's plan was to reunite her late friend's baby with the infant's Greek father, then return home…alone. Instead Lukas whisks them away to his private island! Soon Rhiannon falls under the spell of the sun, sea—and the ruthless tycoon himself. Caught up in a wave of desire for the devastatingly handsome Lukas, she finds herself agreeing to marriage—with a man who has made it clear he'll never love her….
  

My Review: 

Nice premise, the heroine wants to return the baby to it's family so that it will grow up loved, but when she finds out that the family isn't exactly white-picket fence material, she realizes she'll make a more loving mother for the child.  The hero is a relative of the baby, and they marry to secure custody. 

The hero is great imo, he's a very intense Greek man who is determined not to love and leave himself open to rejection (his mom abandoned him).  For once, the hero wasn't promiscuous, which was kind of refreshing.

Back Cover:

Hope Bishop is stunned when darkly sexy Sicilian tycoon Luciano di Valerio proposes marriage. Brought up by her wealthy but distant grandfather, she is used to fading into the background and being ignored.

But Luciano's sensual lovemaking makes her feel vibrantly alive. Hope falls in love with her husband and is blissfully happy-until she discovers that Luciano ruthlessly married her-for convenience!

Favourite Quote: (he wants her to promise not to be alone with other men)

"You’re being ridiculous. What do you want me to do, run from the room if I’m alone and another man comes into it?”
When he looked like he might agree, she glared at him. “That’s not going to happen.” 

Why, oh why did I wait so long to read this one???
