A Passionate Read!, August 12, 2003
This review is from: A Passionate Marriage (Hot-Blooded Husbands) (Mass Market Paperback)
I LOVED this book! Ms. Reid did a wonderful job of displaying the "passion" between Isobel and Leandros. You feel their anger, their pain and the love they have for each other! I couldn't put this book down!!! The story deals with a couple who have been apart for three years, but never really stopped loving each other. Each has insecurities and doubts to deal with, which Ms. Reid reveals in very passionate writing. They see each other and all the passion and love returns. However, before things can be made right, they have to deal with past hurts and disappointments. I couldn't put this book down! (Oh yeah, I said that already.) This books makes you laugh, too! There's a particular scene during their divorce meeting which is laugh out loud funny! Again, I couldn't put this book down! So, if you enjoy your romances with spice and laughter -- this is a definite keeper!

Another great Reid!, September 8, 2003
This review is from: A Passionate Marriage (Hot-Blooded Husbands) (Mass Market Paperback)
From the back: Greek tycoon Leandros Petronades married Isobel on the heels of a wild affair. But, within a year, the marriage crashed and burned. Three years later Leandros wants to finalize their divorce.He's found a girl who will make him a suitable wife...so unlike fiery Isobel. But face to face again with Isobel in Athens, Leandros is in for a shock: their all-consuming mutual attraction is just as strong as ever. Suddenly, his plan has changed and he's ready to tame his headstrong wife...by whatever means it takes. I loved this book! This follows the typical Reid plotline, with a strong, stubborn Greek husband who has some big misunderstanding with his beloved wife, leading to a long separation. I really enjoy this about Reid's novels, because oftentimes Harlequins can feel rushed in developing a romance. Reid's novels, however, usually start out with the history already established between the two leads, leaving the rest of the book to simply build on the sexual tension. Fantastic!

Michelle Reid at her best, March 1, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: A Passionate Marriage (Hot-Blooded Husbands) (Mass Market Paperback)
Michelle Reid is a stand out in the Harlequin Presents line of authors, and "A Passionate Marriage" displays the extraordinary story-telling skills that earn her that distinction. Isobel, fiery and English, and Leandros, passionate and Greek, have been separated for three years. When they meet to finalize the end of their marriage, sparks fly and it becomes apparent to both of them that they are not ready to end their tumultuous union. While this sounds like the plot of any hundred or so romance novels you might have read in the past, Reid quickly displays the intensely-drawn characters, layered and woven plots, and emotionally driven stories that set her books apart from the rest. Making a cameo appearance in this novel are Eve and Ethan from "Ethan's Temptress Bride" (Harlequin Presents, No. 2272), loosely tying this book to the last 4 or 5 that Reid has written, and briefly introduces Felipe Vazquez, a sure bet to play a leading role in a future offering. If it's a book by Michelle Reid, it's a winner, and this was one of her best.
