The Spaniard's Pregnancy Proposal by Kim Lawrence (HP 2708)

Back Cover:

Antonio Rochas attracts women like moths to a flame. Casual affairs are his calling card… until he meets Fleur. She's uninterested and unavailable—and like a red rag to a bull! Forced by an unfortunate accident to stay at Antonio's luxury mansion, Fleur is caught up in his whirlwind of passionate seduction. But now Antonio wants more—and he knows just how he'll get it: by making Fleur pregnant!
 

My Review:

The back cover is misleading, the hero does not deliberately set out to make the heroine pregnant.  The pregnancy is accidental and the heroine hides it from him until the very end.  I would have preferred it if the hero actually HAD set out to tie her to him via a baby, I was starting to anticipate that because the back cover said so and I was let down that it was false. 

The relationship between the hero/heroine though is insanely great!  They clash right from the start and verbally spar, but are attracted viscerally to each other.  It's heart racing, the feelings strumming through them.  The heroine is wonderful, I love that she knows her mind, can hold her own with the wealthy hero, and not be intimidated.  The heroine is not your average cliche-ridden rich man's lover, she holds her independence up like a shield, holds onto the little bits of distance she can put between them, enjoying being in bed with him but not letting herself get too comfortable/hopeful/expectant of a ring.  I loved how the hero knew he loved the heroine, from the first time they made love and he looked into her eyes.  *melts*  He loved her intensely but quietly and with determination to have her permanently. 

Nice side plot with the hero and his 13 year old daughter, I liked that the heroine got along with her and they made a nice family together. 

Rating: 4/5 stars, a very well written story, lots of snappy dialogue, and a great heroine.
