5.0 out of 5 stars A passionate story with great caracters., October 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Master Of Passion (Harlequin Presents) (Paperback)

The story revolves around Parisa Belmont. She's somebody who likes to think "caution" is her middle name, but her impulsive nature always rises which she discovers when she finds herself breaking into an appartment to steal some incriminating photographs as a favor for a friend. But before she could escape, she finds herself caught...Caught in the arms of Luc Di Maggi, a supposed "blackmailer" and the man Parisa had denied her love to years before. Luc then makes a deal with her: to pretend that she's his loving fiancee during his mother's birthday in Italy in exchange for the photographs. What neither of them expect is for the plan to actually work out. They also don't expect to fall in love. As the truth arises throughout the whole story, you'll fall in love with Luc's Latin charm. The story is also just as unpredicteble and impulsive as it's heroine, Parisa.

From the back cover: Master of Passion by Jacqueline Baird

She had some explaining to do

In a show of true friendship, Parisa had agreed to help retrieve a folder of incriminating photographs. But when she found herself dressed like a cat burglar, ransacking an elegant Mayfair apartment, she suddenly had second thoughts. But by then it was too late.

Caught in the act, Parisa found herself facing the glittering eyes of the man blackmailing her best friend. Luc di Maggi was actually willing to bargain for the photos, for now he was in a position to demand what he'd been denied ten years ago. Luc wanted Parisa at his mercy--and in his bed.

My thoughts: Story was engrossing, entertaining and different. I'm used to reading those "old" Harlequin's, the 80's, so sometimes its nice to read the its nice to read some of the newer ones (90's) where it is a little fast paced and more back and forth dialogue, etc. I like the hero and heroine. The hero was arrogant, rich, and totally into the heroine which is what I like LOL, and the heroine was a spunky, adventurous girl. She gave as good as she got to the hero and didn't let him walk over her. I like that she has a backbone.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is Baird at her best!!!, January 13, 2004

This review is from: Master of Passion (Hardcover)

I have read quite of few of Baird's books and this one is my favorite so far. The heroine, Parisa, is very interesting in that she was an oarsman and teaches sports. Her impulsive nature also adds fun to the story. The hero is intriguing and mysterious. You can definately feel the attraction between them.
