Rating:  Summary: I agree with the reviewer who said... Review: ..."this is a good Reid, but (definitely) not her best", not anywhere near her best! The intense passion between the H/H WAS way too rushed; it's sexy enough, but not believable at all. (I like a little realism even in a Harlequin!) I would only give this effort a grade C. Not a keeper; not terrible, but it has a typical formula Harlequin plot with a H/H both overwhelmingly attractive & attracted to each other...not at all what I expected from the author of "The Price of a Bride" (which was fantastic).

Rating:  Summary: A good Reid..but not her best Review: From the Back: Giancarlo Cardinale was determined to have his revenge. He thought Natalia Deyton had slept with his sister's husband. His passionate Sicilian nature demanded a vengeful seduction - and total surrender. But Giancarlo wasn't prepared for the innocence shining out of Natalia - or the sensual power of her stunning beauty. He knew he was falling in love for the first time - but family came first. He had no choice but to carry out his plan. I enjoyed this book, but not as much as other Reids. I guess I did not like how it strayed from her typical format of separated couple, so that the story begins with some previous backstory. With no previous story between the two, I felt their intense passion was rather rushed. It was still a great book. If possible, I would have given 4 1/2 stars.

Rating:  Summary: A great "Reid"! Review: I love Michelle Reid's work, and her latest addition was delightful. Natalia is very unhappy to learn that her boss has gone on an unexpected second honeymoon, leaving his brother-in-law in charge. Giancarlo is convinced that Natalia is having an affair with her boss, who is married to Giancarlo's only sister, and in true Sicilian fashion, promises vengance. Vengance turns to seduction, and seduction to ... surprises! One of the features I liked most in this book was Reid's technique of weaving between Natalia's viewpoint and Giancarlo's viewpoint. The reader gets to see inside the man's head too - something few romance writers seem to allow. A good story and excellent writing!
Rating:  Summary: Good Book. Review: This is a good book to read.
