3.0 out of 5 stars Not a favorite, but satisfying, December 19, 2001

Another angry and bitter man story who hates all women for someone one woman did, meets the innocent princess who changes his mind story. Oliver is a bitter novelist who is writing a novel about Italian history. He meets Francesca, who has been jilted at the alter by her arranged marriage. She's ruled by her Italian family's patriarch, but escapes this to England where she moves in with friends of her English mother. Oliver is the neighbor and after a rocky start, she starts working for him as a researcher. He's cruel with her too often for my liking, which seems to be the norm for books written in the 80s, but they want each other too much and eventually end up together. Her uncle comes to stir up trouble, but they still end up together after a separation. Its romantic with some semi-steamy scenes, but certainly not a favorite. But okay for some light reading.

But the holiday in England which was meant to help her get over the shock of Paolo's desertion plunged her into conflict with another dominating man. Oliver Newton, the acid-tongued writer who lived nearby, seemed to take a delight in mocking Francesca, and it was clearly against his will that he was forced to ask her help ...
