Lots of Heat,
This review is from: The Spanish Duke's Virgin Bride (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)
Back of Book....
Duke Javier Herrera needs a wife in order to inherit his family's banking business. In Grace Beresford, whose father swindled Javier out of millions, Javier can take revenge and a convenient wife. At first, Javier just wants Grace's body. But this small price she refuses to pay.....despite their explosive mutual attraction. How long can Grace remain his wife in name only? At first I thought this book would be like every other Harlequin that has the herion family indebted to the hero line - a quick and okay read. I'm glan I was wrong. This book is very emotional and passionate. I only hate that it was so short. Javier is so sexy in his vulnerability. He has a past lacking in loving emotions and strives hard not to develop any for Grace and tries to keep her at a distance emotionally. Grace is a spitfire and does not take anything lying down. She is strong and does not let anyone walk over her. They both try to hold their emotions in check. They both fail and it was a pleasure to read.

This review is from: The Spanish Duke's Virgin Bride (Harlequin Presents) (Kindle Edition)
Exquisite from start to finish, this story never lets you down or lagged. It was believable and the hero didn't disappoint. The heroin of the story was not exactly tough and outspoken but again that's not what the hero needed in this story. I read in two hours because I could not put it down. I will keep it in my kindle forever.

This review is from: The Spanish Duke's Virgin Bride (Harlequin Presents) (Kindle Edition)
The Spanish Duke's Virgin BrideThis book was as good as the other reviewers said...and I'm a tough audience. The story is basically about a spanish duke who has to get married in two months or lose his inheritance..similarly the heroine goes to him to plead for mercy for her father who swindled his company out of 3 million. The father is painted as a tragic, grief stricken man who embezzled the money to get medical help for his dying wife. The hero, desperate to preserve his inheritance pardons the heroine's dad on grounds that she marries him for a year. We've heard that plot before but this time it was different. How this story was written, I forgot it was the same old plot. The writer was able to capture in harlequin format the basic premise of the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast. It was not over done or too outlandish. The chemistry between the two was sizzling. We could see both characters fall in love. The heroine fell in love with the hero AFTER she got to know him and see his heart--which made the story more realistic. Both characters were likable and the heroine had a brain and responded appropriately to the circumstances. All in all well done.
