Back Cover:
Alessandro Di Livio is fiercely protective of his family, and he's determined to keep gold-digging Sam Maguire away from his sister's husband…even if it means seducing her himself!
Sam is no femme fatale—in fact she's a virgin! But under Alessandro's expert touch she succumbs to one night in his arms. And when passion leads to pregnancy, Sam knows that Alessandro will do whatever it takes to have her as his wife and their baby as his heir!
My Review:
Mmmm. I really liked the dynamic between the hero/heroine, it was combatative, sparks flew, insults hit the air, and they got grabby! The hero was a man you could like and respect, yet he was also sexy and had an in-your-face aggressive side (which I enjoyed). Case in point: the hero didn't enjoy being hidden away in the heroine's bedroom when she had guests, so he unbuckled his belt and unbottoned his pants and swanned in mid conversation complaining about her leaving him in bed. *grin* I liked how the hero reacted to the heroine's feelings for another man, he was possessive but determined to have the heroine, even if that meant letting himself be used by the heroine for sex. There were many moments where I just felt the warmth in the hero's feelings for her. Nice innocent heroine: she was the type who only had sex if she was in love, so it made sense for her to have avoided experimentation. Great read!
Rating: 4.5/5 stars, very good. I'd mark this a KEEPER. (the only somewhat negative thing is that there were "lulls" where plot development took precedence over passion/intensity for a few minutes.)
