    Italian aristocrat Lorenzo, Duce di Montesavro, needs to marry, and English tourist Jodie Oliver seems the ideal candidate for this convenient arrangement --- her vulnerability is especially appealing to Lorenzo.

    Penny Jordan

    Penny Jordan, one of Harlequin's most popular authors, sadly passed away on December 31, 2011. She leaves an outstanding legacy, having sold over 100 million books around the world. Penny wrote a total of 187 novels for Harlequin, including the phenomenally successful A Perfect Family, To Love, Honor and Betray, The Perfect Sinner and Power Play, which hit the New York Times bestseller list. Loved for her distinctive voice, she was successful in part because she continually broke boundaries and evolved her writing to keep up with readers' changing tastes. Publishers Weekly said about Jordan, "Women everywhere will find pieces of themselves in Jordan's characters." It is perhaps this gift for sympathetic characterisation that helps to explain her enduring appeal.

      I enjoyed the story line and how supportive the hero was to the heroine in this story. She had been through a lot from the accident and the loss of her parents as well as trying to heal physically for the cruelty displayed by her so called friend and ex fiancee. I was pleased with the way the Duke stood up for her as he should being her husband. Well written book and I would recommend it to a friend.

      I love Penny Jordan but this book was awful. The constant references to her being a virgin was just completely cringe. I ended up skipping most of Lorenzo's dialogue because it was so awkward and forced. Their declaration of love seemed so out of place. As well as this, the book seemed to jump from one scene to another. The transitions were not smooth at all
    • 4/5
      Wonderful Love Story! I was completely taken by surprise by the complexity of the characters and the heartwarming ending.
