Summary: Forced into Marriage, but it's not as Bad as it Sounds!
Review: The last thing Claire Jardine wants to do, as she is on the way to her wedding in the limo with her father, is to get married. She tells her father, a dirty rotten guy if ever one existed, and he tells her if she doesn't go through with it, he'll be ruined. He has agreed to give the even more rotten guy, Trader Benedict, she is marrying, half his money as a dowry, if not Trader will turn him in for fiddling his taxes. Claire tells daddy tough cookies and daddy, who abandoned her when she was a child, tells Claire it'll ruin her sick mother and so Claire goes along with the marriage. She does love Trader, after all, even if he is a dirt bag and only wants her money.Boy, this sounds like another of those stupid arranged marriage kind of romances, where the woman finally tames her man and they live happily ever after, so let me tell you, I was prepared not to like this book one bit. But was I ever surprised. Ms. Sara Wood has written a romance like I'd never read between the pages of Harlequin Presents before. Surprise after surprise, just stupendous characterization, snappy dialogue that puts you right in the picture and a story to die for, with a tricky and wonderful ending. Just fabulous right up to the last page. What a book! Just super! Did I say that I really liked this one! A Harlequin Dreamers Review by Mika Greene
