Book Description

Just Say Yes!

Confirmed bachelor Dr. Marcos Calderon is in hot water. He needs to come up with a fake fiancée fast or he'll disappoint his beloved grandma who's arriving on the next flight to meet her. Proper social worker Gabriela Morales should fit the bill--but tonight, in that sexy, slit-to-there red evening gown, she looks anything but proper.

Gabriela only volunteered for the hospital's charity bachelorette auction to benefit a cause dear to her heart. Now she's reeling from the hot doctor's bid of fifteen thousand dollars for a weekend date with her! She's not sure what Dr. Handsome has in mind, but the smoldering look in his eyes is unmistakable...

Review: 'Sold on You' by Sophia Knightly

By Michelle Monkou, USA TODAY
Genre: Contemporary romance

Dr. Marcos Calderon lives and breathes among bad relationships, from his parents to his friends. No wonder he wants to be a confirmed bachelor. However, the one person he doesn't want to disappoint is his beloved grandmother. Instead of manning up, he coerces the best candidate to play his fiancée.
Gabriela Morales is the kind of girl you'd take home to Mother. In this case, she agrees to be shown off to the devilishly handsome doctor's grandmother, but only for the hefty donation that will be made to her charity. Maybe she bit off more than she could chew. She navigates the grandmother's suspicious nature, Calderon's flirtatious temptations, and her awakening love for him.

Things between Marcos and Gabriela get hot and sensual before too long. Calderon's grandmother may get her wish after all.
My fave is Dr. Marcos. And why did I fall in love with this delectable delight? He has mega-wattage sex appeal. He is loveably clueless, at times. He loves his grandmother. He is sexy when he's jealous. He sounds deliciously adept at weakening a woman's knees with his sensuality. By golly, what's there not to like? Knightly puts the fun back in reading lighthearted romance stories.

Be sure to read the excerpt from Wild on You (book one in the Tropical Heat series) included in the back of the e-book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A bid on love November 22, 2011

By Linda S. Andrews

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Social worker Gabriela Morales allows herself to be auctioned off to raise funds for an unwed mother's program. Growing up poor, she knows the difference the smallest kindness can make. Dr. Marcos Calderon is wealthy, handsome and in need of a counterfeit fiancé. Gabriela fits the bill but he doesn't count on his reaction to seeing her all dressed up. After winning her in the auction, he makes a bargain that will change both their lives forever. If they're willing to take a chance.

Sold on You is a fun, quick read. Gabriela is a wonderful heroine whose willingness to do all for her cause is endearing and sparks a bit of humor. I loved to see her struggle to reconcile her prejudices against the real Marcos. Marcos is well-written and his love for his grandmother will melt your heart. Ms. Knightly has enough flips on the plot to earn a place on my keeper shelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars An alluring read... December 8, 2011

By The Kindle Book Review

Format:Kindle Edition

Sold on You is a light, easy read that's amusing and alluring to anyone that's a romantic at heart. I enjoyed the characters and was able to easily connect with them and feel their frustrations and plights. I loved that the heroine, Gabriela, wasn't the usual cookie cutter heroine that you usually see in romance novels: thin and blonde. Gabriela is a raven-haired, green-eyed, curvaceous Latina and her counterpart, Marcos, is a tall, dark, and handsome Argentinean.

The author, Sophia Knightly does an excellent job in giving her heroine balance. Though Gabriela makes it clear that she is independent, she doesn't have that aggressive attitude that can come off as annoying. She's a lovable character that's easy to root for. Marcos, on the other hand, is annoying, but charmingly so. He knows what he wants, and he expects to have his way. It was fun to see him stew when his Abuelita turned his scheme against him as well as in the humorous dinner scenes in the novel.

The story that Knightly created is an enjoyable one. It's a sweet romance between two stubborn people that begins with a wacky scheme. The push and pull of emotion in this story will entangle you, not letting you go until you reach the very last page. Sold On You is easily a book you can devour in one sitting. I highly recommend it.
