Back-Blurb:

It was payday for Prince Nicolo Barbieri. The Italian aristocrat's negotiations to take over Manhattan's SCB bank were about to bear fruit. But he wasn't expecting Aimee Black, granddaughter of the bank's current owner—who was pregnant with Nicolo's baby! Nicolo felt duty bound to marry Aimee and give his child his name. But Aimee had other ideas about surrendering herself to this arrogant foreigner, who surely didn't love her!

Review:
The inimitable Sandra Marton is back with a fabulous new trilogy featuring three gorgeous European princes who find themselves doing the unthinkable – falling in love. The first title in the new Billionaire’s Brides mini-series, The Italian Prince’s Pregnant Bride, is an intense romantic tale that will keep you riveted until the final page.

Aimee Black is absolutely furious when her grandfather refuses to hand over the reins of his beloved Stafford Coleridge Bank for the simple reason that she’s a female. She’s so angry that on leaving his office, she can’t see for her rage and walks straight into the arms of a gorgeous Italian prince who cannot get the feisty American out of his mind.

When Prince Nicolo Barbieri tracks her down, their attraction is so intense that they end up making love – and before long, Aimee is pregnant with the Italian prince’s baby.

Nicolo proposes a marriage of convenience for the sake of their baby – even though Aimee cannot help wishing that their marriage was the real thing.

The always fabulous Sandra Marton will enchant and captivate her readers with The Italian Prince’s Pregnant Bride. Her two characters leap off the pages and the novel’s intoxicating blend of passion, drama and emotion make this book another classic read by this hugely talented author.

Back-Blurb:

Taken for pleasure, married for baby!

When shy virgin Katie Carter is summoned to renovate a sumptuous Tuscan villa, she thinks only of her passion for design. Little does she realise that the enigmatic owner, Count Giovanni Amato, will stir up emotions she’s long kept buried.
Giovanni is going to have her, and she knows she won’t be able to resist. But the Count has two unbroken rules…there’s no room for a wife in his life. And definitely no child!

So what will the brooding, aristocratic billionaire do when he finds out that Katie is carrying his heir?

Italian Husbands
They’re tall, dark…and ready to marry!

Review:

Christina Hollis’ second novel for Mills and Boon Modern Romance, Count Giovanni’s Virgin, is absolutely terrific! Richly sensual, highly evocative and absolutely breathtaking, Christina Hollis is a writer who is destined to become one of M&B’s most popular authors.

When Interior designer Katie Carter was asked to renovate the Tuscan Villa belonging to the enigmatic Count Giovanni Amato, she never thought that she would find herself falling for the Villa’s enigmatic owner or that she would be giving him her virginity.

Man of the world Giovanni knows that he should give shy virgin Katie a wide berth as to get involved with her would mean reopening old wounds which still haven’t healed properly. But he cannot resist Katie and when she announces that she’s expecting his baby, he proposes a marriage of convenience – even though he can’t help but wish that his marriage to Katie would be the real deal.

I love Christina Hollis’ books! Sexy, sensual, dramatic and engrossing, Count Giovanni’s Virgin is a fabulously passionate tale that will delight romance readers everywhere!

In just seven days, she will beg for his kiss!

Lydia Veratia made one mistake - and now her freedom is forfeit to the man who all Rome knows as the Sea Wolf. Sold into marriage, the one thing over which she still has control is her own desire. So when Fabius Aro offers her a wager - if she doesn't plead for his kisses in the next seven days, then she will have her independence - Lydia thinks it will be easily won.

But Aro is a dangerously attractive man. And Lydia is finding his lips more and more tempting...

Review:

Will Lydia be impervious to the Sea Wolf’s charms? Or will she succumb to his sensual kisses?

City surgeon…single mum

Struggling to adjust to life as a single mother, GP Sarah Rigby is intrigued by her new neighbour, guarded hot-shot surgeon Ryan Harrison. Sarah knows Ryan is struggling to overcome the effects of an accident, and although deeply hesitant of entering a relationship, she and her young son Sam resolve to show Ryan how to live again.

They’re thrown together to save lives, and the soaring temperatures of the Australian summer mirror the heat fizzing between them – until Ryan cannot deny his desire to be part of the family he’s grown to love…or his desire to make Sarah his bride…

Review:

In her latest Medical Romance, Fiona Lowe sweeps her readers off to the beautiful town of Yakkabura in Queensland in this emotional tale which will tug at your heartstrings and bring a tear to your eye!

GP Sarah Rigby is busy looking after her Sam and working every hour God sends at her health clinic – she’s certainly got no time from romance - so why is she so intrigued by the sudden reappearance of Ryan Harrison? As teenagers they had shared a passionate kiss but he’d left town and she’d never seen him again – and now he’s back recovering from an accident and trying to sell his childhood home to finance his life back in Melbourne.

Despite the fact that a lot of time has passed since that brief kiss, Sarah is still attracted to Ryan, but with a young child to look after, a busy professional life and Ryan’s apathy towards Yakkabura, she knows that a future with him is out of question.

But as fate throws Ryan and Sarah into close proximity, Ryan begins to realise that Yakkabura does have its attractions and that Sarah is the first woman who’s ever captured his heart and made him feel alive. But will Ryan be able to resist the lure of Melbourne or will he realise that home is where the heart is?

Fiona Lowe just keeps getting better and better. Her books resonate with her readers because they are about real people with real problems, but they still have got that touch of romantic fantasy which make them simply irresistible. Fiona Lowe is a writer I know I can always rely on to deliver the goods and in The Surgeon’s Chosen Wife she certainly delivers! A touching story about getting a second chance at love and life, her storytelling prowess will hold you spellbound and her characters leap off the pages and come alive instantly.

The Surgeon’s Chosen Wife is the perfect novel to lose yourself into and one which you can’t afford to miss!
