Book 2,
This review is from: The Brazilian's Blackmailed Bride (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)
Back cover:
A wife at his command....Anton Luis Scott-Lee has to marry the woman who so callously rejected him years ago. His revenge will be sweet... A mistress at his service...Cristina Marques will be totally at Luis's bidding-bought and paid for! A bride by blackmail. Cristina has no choice but to accept Luis's marriage demand. But Luis will find that his new bride can't or won't fulfill all of her wedding vows... Comments: This is book 2 in the Ramirez series. I don't think that book 1 has to be read first in order to understand what's going on. Just as in the first Ramirez book, Anton receives a package stating that if he does not marry and produce a child within a year then he will never know the true identities of his half-brothers. So, Anton has the perfect person in mind he wants to pay to fulfill this stipulation. Cristina Marques. Though he has loathed her with a passion for six years, he still can't put out the sparks of passion he has for her. The last time they were together she callously ended their relationship and told him that under no circumstances she would bear his English children. Little did he know Cristina was spitting out empty words and trying to cover up her own secrets and pain. So, Anton goes back to England resenting what Cristina did to him and harbors bitter feelings towards her. Then the package comes and Anton sets a plan in motion. He neatly sets up a plan to get Cristina into a position that forces her to either accept his loan from his bank or lose her family home. The passion is definitely there between Cristina and Anton and Reid does a good job at giving both the heroine's and hero's POV. BUT there seemed to be an element missing in this book. Maybe it was because the reason for them breaking up could have been resolved in a different way and not dragged out for I think six years. Overall, this was a good read and it didn't drag on.

Michelle Reid Always a Winner,
By Peppermint (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Brazilian's Blackmailed Bride (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the best book in the series, by far. Why? THE AUTHOR!!! Michelle Reid always spins a tale that the reader cannot put down. I love how she tells the story from the point of view of the male character, as well as the female. And her writing is so seamless, never tedious, as I find with most of the other 'Presents' authors. Her gift for creating exciting characters and situations will have you seeking out her entire catalogue, as I have.

The Ramirez Brides Trilogy
Brazilian polo player, Enrique Ramirez had sown a lot of oats in his youth. Traveling with the team around the world put the charismatic Enrique in the company of many exotic women. Now years later, three couriers deliver three messages to three men. One in Australia, one in England and one in America. Until this moment these men did not know the others existed. They are half brothers and if they wish to know each other they must follow their father's demands or all will be forfeit. The Brazilian's Blackmailed Bride by Michelle Reid Harlequin Presents # 2493 - October 2005 Anton hadn't a clue that the man who raised him was not his biological father. Suddenly his life is upside down. Anton wants very much to meet his half brothers, but can he fulfill his father's challenge to seek out the woman who rejected him and marry her. Somehow his father's challenge indicates that is was Anton that had betrayed Cristina, and that he was the one that needed to mend the broken hearts. Ms. Reid always pens a riveting lovestory with intense passionate scenes. Both Anton and Cristina are strong characters. Anton has some lessons to learn and faces conflicting emotions over what he thought he had known as truth with what is now coming to light as being the truth. Gripping story. One you'll read from cover to cover in one sitting. :D The Ramirez Brides trilogy.. The Ramirez Bride by Emma Darcy - HP-2487 - September 2005 The Brazilian's Blackmailed Bride by Michelle Reid - HP-2493 - October 2005 The Disobedient Virgin by Sandra Marton - HP-2499 - November 2005 All three brothers do fulfill their father's demands. And in the doing discover that their father may have known them very well indeed. These three very talented authors brought to life three dynamic men who share the same blood. I enjoyed very much reading their journeys of self-discovery and their HEAs.
