You absolutely must read this book.  It is a pure KEEPER.  Hilarious. I was dying with laughter as I read it.

Favourite Scene:

‘Pleased to meet you,’ said Clea, her handshake warm and surprisingly firm. ‘Nicky, she’s darling! She’s perfect! You need a wife; you said so this morning. I think we’ve just found her.’
‘Wife?’ said Hallie. Wife? That’d teach her to shake hands with strangers. Nicholas Cooper’s smile was lazy. His mother’s was hopeful. Probably they were both mad.
‘He’s loaded,’ said Clea encouragingly.
‘Well, yes.’ She could see that from the way he dressed. He was also far too amused for his own good. ‘But is he creative?’
‘You should see his tax return.’
‘I don’t know, Clea. I think I prefer my men a little less…’ What? She slid Nicholas Cooper another quick glance. Sexy? Wild? Gorgeous? ‘Dark,’ she came up with finally. ‘I prefer blonds.’
‘Well, he’s not a blond,’ conceded Clea, ‘but look at his feet.’
Everyone looked.
He wore hand-stitched Italian leather lace-ups. Size twelve. Wide. 

Back Cover: 

It was a year since their tempestuous affair had ended. So why was he back? Elisa trusted Salvatore di Vitale as far as she could throw him. And, as the wealthy Sicilian was over six feet tall, that wasn't very far.
Salvatore told Elisa he had come to protect her. And if their close proximity led to passion...and if passion should lead to pregnancy...all the better! Because then Elisa would have to marry him, which was Salvatore's plan all along.
 

My Review: 

I loved Pregnancy of Passion.  The hero and heroine were lovers who broke up a year ago because of a miscarriage (and him stupidly thinking he wasn't the father).  The hero said that from the moment she told him about the baby, he considered them married in his eyes, and he acted accordingly.  He chased her, he watched over her, he felt she was his, he was faithful, he valued her as his and put her safety above everything else.  *sigh*  That was a strong warm love that just made me feel real good. 

Wow, this one was quite a fun passionate ride!  Hilarious, really well written (so sharp! The smallest touches really make the book)  The hero and heroine were kidnapped (because the hero is rich and from a powerful family).  The heroine accidentally helped get the hero (and herself) kidnapped (she thought it was a college prank).  The hero thinks she's in on it all and mistrusts her.  They get close and are fiercely attracted to each other.  At first they are rational and decide not to have sex because they can't prevent pregnancy, but it soon becomes apparent their lives are seriously in danger here, and they lose their inhibitions about practicalities!
