From back cover:

Only one woman can help arrogant Rico Crisant's injured sister: his estranged wife, Anastasia.

In public: Rico demands that Stasia be the perfect wife--loyal, doting and faithful!

In Private: She will be a slave to his passionate demands. However, Rico hadn't bargained on becoming infatuated with Stasia.

Stasia fears that once Rico's sister recovers she will be cast aside...Will her role as Rico's wife be over for good?

Although I didn't quite "get" the title of this book, it was a really great book. The chemistry between Rico and Stasia was intense, and the love scenes were sizzling. Although Rico believed Stasia betrayed him, he couldn't help being attacted to her. He was definitely an alpha male, who is the backbone of his family, but he wasn't overbearing with it. Stasia was very caring, understanding and forgiving under the circumstances. I completely agree with Lady Raven, Chiara, his sister, should have been the one to confess in the end.

Read this book, you won't be disappointed!

Great sex scenes in this book as the characters are (surprise, surprise from Harlequin!) basically addicted to sex with each other. Good descriptions of the settings and characters, and the male lead focuses so much on his wife's red hair that I was tempted to run out and get dyed myself, LOL.

Good story but there is little else of interest outside of the sex scenes.

Estranged artist wife of 1 yr agrees to go back to Sicily to help almost-ex-husband's amnesiac sister, who only remembers the 1st part of their marriage, recuperate. She finds it difficult to resist her husband's sexual overtures despite feeling hurt & betrayed by him. In the meantime, wealthy & hardworking husband also tries to resist his attractions to his supposedly-unfaithful & ungrateful wife but his feelings get in the way.

My 1st Morgan book & I'm impressed. The sexual & emotional tension was palpable throughout the book. I finished the book in no time. I really liked how H & H tried to own up to their part of the marriage problems, which made the HEA realistic & convincing.

Enthusiastically recommended.

I was first iffy about the book but still bought it, and even though i had it it took me 2 months to get to it because i wasn't sure but IT WAS WORTH IT and the love scenes were amazing i had a little problem with the ending with Rico's sister still thought she should have been the one to confess...when you read the book you'll know what i mean...
