5.0 out of 5 stars Trust, Passion and Vengeance all rolled into one., February 16, 2006

By 

Marilyn Shoemaker (Seattle, Washington) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wedding Vow Of Revenge (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)

Yet again, Lucy Monroe takes her readers on a journey not to be forgotten. As I kept reading this book, I felt like I was always holding my breath, will the handsome Angelo make Tara his before she finds out his plans?

Angelo, the handsome, talented and sexy tycoon, well let's just say he's dynamite and yet he holds himself back because of his past. He's afraid to let someone in, yet Tara definitely sneaks in and steals his heart.

Tara's learned never to trust men, especially because of childhood experiences and a recent relationship which left her scared. However, over time she learns to trust Angelo and falls in love. What Tara doesn't realize is that Angelo has a plan of revenge and that he must marry Tara in order to reach his goal. The tables are turned on this couple, when Tara realizes she's expecting and Angelo realizes he's fallen in love.

Have a box of Kleenex ready because this is just another Monroe book you won't be able to put down!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Her Best Work, April 6, 2011

By 

S. Brown (Sunrise, Fl United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Wedding Vow of Revenge (Bedded by Blackmail) (Kindle Edition)

Let me start by saying that I am a fan of Lucy Monroe, however, this book is a swing and a miss.

The idea behind the plot was a good one and should have made for intense emotions and gripping reading...not so.

The writing was weak and the love scenes very tepid. There didn't seem to be any real emotional connection between the hero and the heroine, and even though their sexual chemistry was supposed to be the one thing pulling them together, even that seemed a little off.

In the end, it was a lackluster read, and the villain in the book (and the entire reason the H and h got together in the first place) came across as more silly than evil.

I don't recommend this book to anyone unless you are able to get it for free. Give this one a pass.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not one of her best..., June 22, 2010

Nebulous Eyes "::Nebulous::" (805) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wedding Vow Of Revenge (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)

Okay, I am a big Lucy Monroe fan, but this is not one of her best efforts.

Something about this story just didn't click like her others do. It lacked chemistry and passion.
The story felt rushed and lacked fluidity, everything seemed too artificial and forced. It was a major let down after reading such stellar reviews.

If your new to reading Lucy Monroe, I'd skip this one and go for one of her other books such as; The Sheikh's Bartered Bride, Taken: The Spaniards Virgin, Hired: The Sheikh's Secretary Mistress, The Sicilian's Marriage Arrangement, and my all time favorite, Pregnancy of Passion.
