When Alexander Koutoufides seduced the young Saskia Prentice it was for revenge! Now she is back and Alex decides to finish what he started…for pleasure!

Saskia cannot forgive the sexy Greek who nearly stole her innocence, or forget the stormy passion they shared! She knows Alex wants her, his ruthless reputation confirms that he will have her. The only uncertainty is…how long can she resist him?

Review:

Again, Trish Morey has written an incredible love story. It's passionate, hot, intense and extremely entertaining. There are absolutely no words to describe how emotional and fabulous this story has been penned by this author.How can one man be so stubborn? How can one jump to conclusions and not know the facts? Well one hot Greek by the name of Alex has played havoc with the beautiful and talented Saskia and on top of everything, he has taken her virginity.

As one begins their journey, you will learn that this couple not only have a business and family history, but a personal history…..one that was ended abruptly 10 years earlier when Alex’s emotion and revenge were directed at Saskia for transgressions he believed her father enacted against his sister, Marla.

Now years later, Saskia is trying to take care of her father who is ill and short of funds. To do this she must earn a promotion by doing a profile on Alex Koutoufides and compete against a fellow co-worker. Will Alex comply? Only if he gets his way and can save his sister Marla from the press and the spotlight and Alex will do anything to protect her……even agreeing to the profile and using Saskia to divert the press. Yes and Alex, this stubborn and blind Alpha surprises everyone by announcing that they are getting married in order to divert the press from his sister…..hoping that she’ll get her act together, heal and find herself.

As their story enfolds you will find yourself weeping, clenching your fists, wanting to throw items, shake the handsome Alex, yell……it’s so full of emotion and such a wonderful storyline, you won’t be able to put this particular book down…..I promise! You will absolutely adore and weep both for Sasika and Marla. I’m hopeful that Trish will write Marla and Jake’s book…..please?

Since Trish began writing, I’ve enjoyed every book written but this one is exceptional and a real winner!

The Italian Billionaire's Virgin - Christina Hollis

Title: The Italian Billionaire’s Virgin

Author: Christina Hollis

Line: Mills and Boon Modern Romance

Release month: Jan 2007

The S-Factor: Simmering

Back-Blurb:

An innocent for the taking…

When he finds out that Contessa Larissa Alfere-Tiziano has inherited a ruined Tuscan palace, gorgeous, ruthless, Italian property magnate Antonio Michaeli-Isola is determined to reclaim his birthright and make the palazzo his own! And if that means seducing and then discarding the beautiful, spoilt Contessa…then he will.

But Rissa is keeping up a pretence that her title has forced upon her. Though Antonio thinks she’s no better than a gold-digging adventuress, in reality the vulnerable virgin is struggling to make ends meet. As she gives him her innocence, will Antonio realise his misapprehension…before it’s too late?

Review:

The Italian Billionaire’s Virgin is a fantastic debut novel by Christina Hollis. Romantic, moving and engrossing, The Italian Billionaire’s Virgin is an unmissable tale which no Mills and Boon Modern Romance reader should miss!

Italian property magnate Antonio Michaeli-Isola is absolutely furious when he sees the Contessa Larissa Alfere-Tiziano move into the ruined Tuscan palazzo which is his birthright. How dare such a vapid gold digging bimbo take away the home he’s coveted ever since he was a child? Antonio vows to take back what is rightfully his and he decides to seduce and marry Larissa and then dump her once he gets his hand on the palazzo.

However, when Antonio meets Larissa, he realizes that she’s anything but the shallow air head he thought her to be and he soon realizes that he wants her in his bed and by his side as his wife – for life!

The Italian Billionaire’ s Virgin is a fantastic page-turner written by an up and coming star of the genre! Christina Hollis has created two wonderful characters which leap off the pages and which will live in the reader’s mind long after the last page is turned.

The Italian Billionaire’s Virgin is a wonderful tale that has got it all – a sexy Latin hero, a resolute heroine, steamy romance, powerful emotion and a narrative which will eagerly keep you turning the pages late into the night!

Married Under the Mistletoe - Linda Goodnight

Title: Married Under the Mistletoe

Author: Linda Goodnight

Line: Romance

Release month: November 2006

The S-Factor: Sweet

Back Blurb:

Needed: a man to trust

When Daniel Stephens finds out who his real father is, he also learns that he's part of the famous Valentine dynasty. He's not convinced that he fits into their world... until he meets beautiful Bella Lucia manager Stephanie Ellison and is captivated by her feisty yet vulnerable spirit...

Stephanie has surround herself with barriers to protect her from her devastating past. Now she's slowly warming to Daniel's gentle charm. This really could be a Christmas to remember - but first Daniel must show Stephanie that she can't hide behind her fears for ever...

Review:

Married Under the Mistletoe is the fifth in The Brides of Bella Lucia series and in many ways is the most emotional yet.

Stephanie has every reason to be an ice-maiden yet I found myself warming to her from the beginning. Daniel is a roguish barbarian, who becomes sexier by the second as he falls in love with not just Stephanie but his new-found family.

Linda Goodnight's prose is vibrant throughout and she makes each and every setting come alive. My particular favourite were the scenes Stephanie and Daniel shared along the bank of the river Thames. Linda Goodnight captures the essence of this city in a way I didn't know was possible.

There is a serious note to this book, yet as horrific as the scars are that Stephanie has, they never overshadow the romance even though they are powerful enough. This book is both a delight and a weepy, culminating in a read I will never forget.
