Summary: Not Michael's best
Review: Leigh Michaels continues to hold us spellbound with the release of Bride by Design. David Elliot is a designer of jewelry -- he has been made a proposition that he can't possibly refuse by Henry Birmingham owner of Birmingham on State who's thinking about retiring from the family business. David's been handed on a silver platter, the chance of lifetime to own one of the most prestigious jewelry stores in the world but of course there is always a catch -- he must marry the owner's granddaughter, Eve Birmingham. What begins as a simple marriage of convenience turns into something altogether different than each expected. Eve and David entered into a marriage with only one goal "to ensure the continuance of Birmingham on State" but when you're confined in close quarters you sometimes learn more than you might want to know about a person you claim you want nothing romantically to do with. The truth of the matter is that you never know when, how or where love is gonna hit you -- it's usually when you're not looking for it. Both Eve and David discover that in the end you can't put a price on love. This novel may be small in statue but it sure carries a punch. Enjoy!!!

Summary: Not Michael's best
Review: Sorry, I am a fan of Leigh Michael's, but I have to say that this is not her best. Half way through the book, I wondered if this was even written by her. This book is like a very old Harlequin, where the couple barely tolerates being around one another (and she is a cold fish) and then, "Bing" a light goes off and the girl thinks, "Gee, I think I am madly in love with him". And you think, how could that have happened? Anyway, Leigh Michaels always has a good story, but this one lacked character depth, and you just can't get into 'feeling' that there is any chemistry between the two (normally what the writer is so good at). Anyway, buy and read at your own risk.
