Allesandro di Vincenzo is a perfect male specimen. There's no woman he can't have—until Laura Stowe crosses his path.

Laura is plain, poor and hides behind her homely appearance to avoid getting close to people.

But Allesandro needs her family connections to open the door to ultimate corporate power. So he must woo the ugly duckling into his bed—where she will learn what it is to be a beautiful, desired swan.



Okay, you've probably noticed this about me. I like two kinds of romance novels. The kind you can't put down because it's a train wreck and you simply can't stop looking. Or the kind that is actually romantic. Not purple. Emotional. I loves me a romantic romance.



This one falls under the latter. I actually gave mine to my Mom to read. And you know me. I'm a greedy book cow. 



So, if you wanna feel a guy fall in love while getting a kick out of the not so complimentary remarks about the heroine, this is a great one for you. Enjoy the flow.
