This is a great start to the series & I cant wait to read the next one Lararo's revenge. There is a lot of threads running through this book which will be revealed in the rest of the series & I for one can't wait. This is the 1st. in a 5 book mini-series with the Galvan family.

Daisy Collingsworth's is in debt, so she must turn over the control of the family's Kentucky horse farm to Count Dante Galván. He is ruthless in business and demands Daisy move to his ranch in the land of his birth as part of the deal that will settle the debt. Will she also have to repay the debt in his bed?

I love foreign heroes and this Argentina aristocrat is fantastic! IN DANTE'S DEBT is packed with sizzling passion, intense conflict, and will have you lusting for more from these sexy characters . Highly recommended!

Back Cover description: Count Dante Galvan was ruthless. Though is broke Daisy's heart to hand over control of her family's horse farm to him, she had no alternative-she was in Dante's debt up to her ears!

Part of the deal included Daisy relocating to Dante's ranch in Argentina. Daisy knew she was far too ordinary to ever become the count's wife. But could she resist Dante's demands that she repay her dues in his bed?

Dante's character is OK, but I really didn't care for Daisy's. This is one of those female leads that rub you the wrong way just about every time she opens her mouth. Daisy's family owes a lot of money to Dante. I don't recall him demanding she repay him in bed, they just wind up there. She has a problem with her dad; Dante has a problem with his sister. This is the first Jane Porter book I've read. I'll try another to see if this is typical of her writing.

Jane Porter's writing always packs an emotional punch and she takes it up a notch with In Dante's Debt. The intense read is filled with powerful drama, steamy sensuality and the lush Argentine background. Daisy is a heroine every reader cheers for while Dante is the epitome of our deepest fantasy. This story offers a passionate spin on a favorite theme while honoring the classic elements of a Harlequin Presents. In Dante's Debt has already found a permanent home on my keeper shelf.

American heroine takes up Argentinian Hero's offer to stay in his family's estate in Argentina to learn to run her family's horse business in Kentucky better. Both Hero & heroine have established an uneasy truce to manage the effects of bad business transaction between their fathers. Their magnetic attraction to each other complicates matters more especially since both have different views about marriage & children.

This Porter book was good overall. It had a good romance between 2 strong characters. They had sizzling sexual tension & sex scenes. It was written with some emotional impact, although it wasn't particularly poignant or angtsy. The main challenge was that Hero & heroine were both headstrong individuals with different standards & expectations. They were both very similar in character. They were both stubborn, over-responsible with their family, valued family honor, hardworking, & passionate. Once they resolved their differences, they have a good future together.

Recommended.

Dante is the rich Alpha Argentian Count whom Daisy owes a million to. It starts off pretty boring and I really didn't like Dante very much till about chapter three. He kinda of grew on me and Daisy was no doormat either. I liked the story even though it had very little conflict. Dante had issues which really were not resolved and it just didn't make much sense. Anyway, I did finish the book but I have to say I like Annabella's story a little more then this one. Since it is a mini series you should probably read this one too.

First book of the Galvan series and it was a great introduction. Dante is gorgeous, passionate and full of principles. Dante is the perfect hero.
Dante's father is dead and now he has to take care of business including to collect a debt in North America. Daisy is about to loose her family's patrimony, and the only way to save it is by following Dante Galvan's demands.
But neither Dante nor Daisy was counting with the feelings that will grew between them... It is up to you to find out.
In general, very good read. Sweet characters and beautifoul South American backgrounds.

This book was so repetitive of all the formula romance plots, I just found it boring & plodded my way through it. I like Jane Porter's writing but the plot was just so typical-formula-romance, no surprises here, no suspense & not sensual enough. Blah, humbug.
