The Ramirez Bride: Book 1, September 9, 2005
Back cover:
Fame, fortune, fast cars--and any woman he wants! But the past has caught up with Nick Ramirez, and now he's forced to abandon his reckless pursuit of personal pleasure--if he wants to meet his long-lost brothers. Monogamy, marriage--and a mother for his child. Nick must find a wife and produce a child within a year. Though many women have shared his bed, there's only one he'd choose to be his Ramirez Bride...
Comments:
Nick lives in a fast paced environment surrounded by women and luxury. However, he had to fight his way to the top. He basically grew up with little love and comfort from either one of his parents. His mother used her looks to climb the social ladder and married more than four times to get there. Nick also discovered who he thought was his father wasn't and he went to see his real father in Brazil. Unfortunately, his biological father wanted nothing to do with him. Well, Nick's father dies and interestingly he list Nick in his will. The inheritance is Nick will be given the names of his two long lost brothers if he marries and has a child in one year. Nick has the perfect candidate in mind. Tessa Steele. They had one night of passion, but no relationship ever came about despite the fact they remained business partners. Little does Nick know that their one night of passion would connect them forever. The relationship between Nick and Tessa was rocky for the most part. Tessa really was looking for love herself and she had deep feelings for Nick. Nick on the other hand was the love them and leave them type. However, after Nick discovered that part of his stipulation for the inheritance had already been completed he starts to see Tessa in a different light. He wants to make things work with her and eventually he realizes that perhaps Tessa is the key to the empty void in his life. Overall, this book was an easy read. A lot of passionate feelings from Nick towards Tessa. Tessa just really wanted Nick to love her. Sometimes I did think that Tessa let Nick steamroll over her, but she stood her ground most of the time.

First in Ramirez Bride Trilogy, October 19, 2007
Millionaire Nick Ramirez learns that he has two brothers he has never met but in order to find out their identities he must fulfill a clause in his late father's will, find a women he can love and be faithful to, marry her and have a child within a year. Nick never had a relationship with his natural father, he found out when he was seven that the man he thought was his father, Brian Steele, was not, but that he was the result of an affair his mother Nadia had with soccer star, Enrique Ramirez. Nick can only think of one woman who he would consider marrying, and that is Tess Steele, Brian Steele's biological daughter with whom Nick had a passionate one night stand about a year ago. Unbeknownst to Nick, Tess became pregnant and had a son, Zach who is now 9 weeks old. Believing Nick has found out about Zach and that is why he is telling her he wants to get married, Tess confesses about Zach. After Nick sees Zach, he knows he will stop at nothing to get Tess and Zach as his....after a confrontation with Nick's greedy mother, Tess believes Nick has married her to get an inheritance from his late father...can Nick convince her that all he wants is her and Zach?
This was a sweet passionate story and it does reflect on the damage that selfish parents can inflict on their kids. At the end of this story, we find out that in order to find out about the two brothers, all three must fulfill a "mission" set forth in their father's will...I look forward to the next book, The Brazilian's Blackmailed Bride....

Heorine a bit of a doormat!, March 30, 2009
I found the heroin a bit on the whimpy side. She of course loved him and I believe that she did but I didn't believe that he loved her. The only reason he hooked up with her again was to use her for his own ends. Of course he changed his mind but it seemed a bit abrupt especially given that he could sleep with her 11 months earlier for one night only and then move on to another woman never even wondering how that affected Tess emotionally. For some reason she had to drop everything and appear for him for some movie premier. I think it would have been better if he had to work for it a bit more!!
