This review is from: Vengeful Husband (The Husband Hunters) (Harlequin Presents) (Paperback)

Darcy feels that she hasn't been blessed with very much. She's not pretty, not charming and not particularly smart. The one thing she has been blessed with is her beloved family home which is, unfortunately, mortgaged to the hilt. To keep it, Darcy must meet the terms of her rich godmother's will requiring her to marry within a year in order to inherit a sum of money. She has to advertise in the paper for a man willing to agree to a marriage of convenience and is shocked when a sexy hunk answers her ad. Darcy thinks he seems familiar and, boy, is she right. A few years earlier, Darcy is left at the altar and takes a trip to Italy to recover. She has a passionate one-night stand with a local man, Gianluca. She sneaks out while he is sleeping afterward and never sees him again. He spends the next few years searching for her, but not because she is the love of his life. Instead, he thinks that Darcy disappeared that night because she slept with him to steal an expensive family heirloom and he is determined to make her pay. When he answers her ad, Darcy doesn't recognize him because of her poor eyesight. It is not until after they're married that she realizes who he is, but she is completely at his mercy because she must stay married for six months to inherit. An emotional tug of war ensues, Gianluca blinded by his wounded pride and Darcy silenced by her low self-esteem. What else could possibly happen before true love triumphs? Quite a bit. Read it and see for yourself.

The Vengeful husband: This book was amazing!! It grabs you from the first pages and it does not let you go. I read this book in one afternoon just chilling by the pool. All the time I wanted to reach the end and at the same time didn't want this book to end. Luca was twenty-eight years old, drop dead gorgeous, and mega rich when Darcy crashed his party. Darcy only saw the beautiful man as well as she could see because she was blind as a bat, not wearing her lenses and stone on medication. So, high as a kite and free as a bird she practically raped the poor man. Not that Luca was complaining or anything, he fell so hard for her that he left his party and took her to his apartment. There the pages were burning up with these two people. Luca told Darcy that he would meet her at the Grand Canal the following day but when she woke up the following morning with a stranger and her now sober conscience she did what we all would do- jump out the window? I couldn't stop laughing. When Luca woke up and Darcy was gone as well as a priceless family heirloom ring "Adorata" he flipped out and knew he would track her down and make her pay. Three years later he tracks her down to a broken down estate where she's placed a listing in the paper requesting a helper for hire. The helper she needs is actually a husband so she can inherit her money and repair her broken down estate. Luca turns up and applies for the job and even accepts the job after she tells him what she really wants.
I don't want to tell you anymore of the story because it's great and I don't want to ruin it for you. I give it five stars because it's perfect. It comes complete with a wicked stepmother and step sister. Oh and did I tell you that Darcy had a baby?? Every lose end is tied up very nicely and I recommend this book highly.

I only discovered this author recently, and believe me, she has spoilt me for author romance writers. The story "Vengeful Husband" is on of her best I have read so far, because of the humorous. I couldn't help chuckling as I read the dialogues between the hero and heroine. It's a great story about a handsome, rich, Italian out to revenge a woman he met and fell in love with three years ago, who he believed only used him to steal from him. But when he met her again, he got more than he bargained for.
