Back Cover description: Antonio Silver was just too much of everything--too arrogant, too good-looking and far too sure of himself! And he made it perfectly clear that he distrusted Corinna's motives in giving up her busy life in London to care for his sick father. Corinna couldn't seem to convince Antonio that her motives were genuine, that she wasn't a gold digger...
Antonio was determined to be a thorn in Corinna's side. There was no escape from his watchful presence. Tension was growing and it was only a matter of time before suspicion turned to attraction...and Antonio changed from enemy to lover!

Antonio's character is typical alpha male. He seems to spend most of the book almost wanting Corinna to be a gold digger. Lots of emotion in this and a little too much dialogue about why Corinna is nursing his father.

23yo private nurse of wealthy & irascible old man is accused by her patient's estranged & handsome son of having ulterior motives re: his father. As much as she disputes his claims, businessman Hero still believes that someone as young & attractive as she must be hiding something to work at such a remote locale. Their interactions are passionate: in their arguments & simmering attraction. The arrival of Hero's female friend both serves as a reprieve & a kindling to their fiery r/s.

There was some funny & engaging moments in this Williams' book. Heroine's comebacks & thoughts were sarcastically funny. I liked this heroine b/c she was able to laugh at herself & didn't take others' opinion of her too seriously. She also had a backbone & wasn't easily provoked. I liked seeing how Hero's reluctant attraction to heroine unraveled his control of his emotions & life. It was emotionally involving & had good sexual chemistry. The only part I didn't like was the ending. It was too rushed. Hero discussed his part of their Big Misunderstanding but heroine didn't.

Recommended.
