Back Cover description: Beth was left breathless when gorgeous Italian tycoon Dex Giordanni proposed marriage--within days of meeting her! But then she overheard a conversation that chilled her: Dex wanted to wed her to settle a family score.
Beth prepared herself to end their engagement-how could she have been so naive as to think Dex was really interested in a virgin like her? But Dex didn't take no for an answer. If a diamond ring couldn't seduce her to the alter, then he would!

Typical plot, with some tension, and characters you wish would talk to one another, but if they did-where would the story go. This one moves along, the sexual tension is OK and Dex finally stops acting like a jerk. At one point I found myself saying--write Dex a note Beth, tell him who Paul is. That issue went on too long. Not as good as RAUL'S REVENGE by this author, but better than THE RELUCTANT FIANCEE & A DEVIOUS DESIRE.

This review is from: Giordanni's Proposal (Harlequin Presents) (Kindle Edition)

I have to say that for the first couple of chapters this book was in real peril of being removed from my kindle without reading any further but the writer is Jacqueline Baird so I continued. All I can say is that I actually got misty over this book. It had a beautiful ending and I discovered that I really didn't hate Dex. Yes Dex was gorgeous, rich, sexy Italian hunk but he had a terrible attitude, he thought no meant yes! He really was a hard pill to swallow but in the end all was explained and I really liked him. Beth I liked from the start because she was beautiful, tough, and she was not going to take any bull from this man no matter how much she loved him. In fact he was tossed like yesterday's salad the moment she learned he'd lied to her. He tried in really stupid ways to get her back and this girl was not having it!! You had to admire the workmanship!!! I don't want to tell you the story because it would spoil it but please read it to the end because seeing this poor man get his is worth the first two or three chapters. I give it five stars because it's so well done that it touched my heart. I recommend it highly
