A pretty good book by Ms. Craven Very enjoyable read for a lazy afternoon.

I don't really like this book, I haven't even finished it because it's so boring. I don't like the characters at all and I don't think I'll ever turn my kindle in that direction again...unless I can't afford to buy another book. I like Sara Craven books but this one is just ....blah.

Poor heroine. I don’t know which I feel more sorry for her: the fact that she went to Umbria and was stranded at the villa for over a week just minutes away from Assisi, or that the sexually experienced Conte Smarm Bucket who sleeps with married women and is stupid enough to get blackmailed into seducing our little sweetheart by his viper of an aunt is destined to be her H.

The h has agreed to be a pretend fiancee to a mamma’s boy who wants him to marry a wealthy heiress. Mamma’s boy viperous mother blackmails the H, her nephew, into seducing the h or else she’ll spill the beans on his ONS with a total blithering idiot who happens to be married. The H agrees and puts a plan in place.

Given all the potential for a comedy of errors, humor and banter, slammed doors, and the eye-winks of a blackmailing caper, this fell flat. The plot was there, but the execution simply was not.

One of the distinct ironies, is the evil viper aka Auntie hates the English miss as a money grumbling trollop when Auntie wants to marry her own son off to the daughter of a wealthy Italian who is going to give the Viper beaucoup lira I wish they still used lira in Italy. Which they should. Who doesn’t want to spend $1600 lira on bell peppers at the market?

Did I buy the romance? Kind of, but I almost always buy the romance even when faced with evidence that says no. I don’t know exactly WHEN the H fell for “his Laura”, but he was convincing at the end.

For a Sara Craven, the hero is veritable pussy cat to the h with one exception SPOILER: he's cruel to be kind because she's a virgin and he's not worthy. A disreputable pussy cat, but still.

Unusually, this Harlequin romance opens with the hero's point of view. He's an Italian count; in bed in his apartment in Rome with a married lady, and already regretting this entanglement. Then his wicked witch of an aunt arrives on his doorstep, and makes him regret it even more. She blackmails him into helping her break up a most unsuitable romance between her son and an English girl. Her son will be arriving in Italy soon with the little money-grubbing tart, and Auntie asks the hero to seduce the heroine away from her son, or else she'll reveal the hero's affair to the married lady's husband -- who's a friend of the hero's, no less.

What Auntie doesn't know is that the heroine, Laura, is in Italy under false pretences: she's agreed to play at being the son's fiancee in order to help him escape an arranged marriage, and more importantly to earn a bit of money.

After wading through some subpar Harlequins, I appreciated this setup. It showed more imagination than the average "hero somehow manipulates heroine to sleep with him to save her father/brother/family from ruin", typical Harlequin plot. Also, one of the story's strengths is that the viewpoint of the hero is given equal time with the POV of the heroine; he's as conflicted as she is about their mutual attraction, and it gives balance and depth to the story to see the hero's inner conflict together with the heroine's. Again, this makes for an untypical Harlequin.

The characters are well-rounded, although the heroine is just a wee bit tarred with martyrdom's brush (can't have a Harlequin without that!) but fortunately just a little. And the book is not without humor (the blackmailing aunt and her slimy son are a hoot). The story really moves along, propelled by sex appeal and the above-average plot. A solid, well-constructed Harlequin, with an (ultimately) sincere, sexy hero, and a heroine I for once don't want to clock over the head. Thank you, Sara Craven; this is a Harlequin I thoroughly enjoyed and want to keep.

opening on an adulterous relationship - gross much. Evil Aunty is horrible, Alpha is lame-ass and h is soooooo lovely, every machination she endures really hurt.
Although the final comeuppance was good value, it's still a betrayal for h with not enough groveling from H. I found the HEA failed as H is still in love with himself and over-confident that h will blithely forgive and marry him.

Such a good book... the attraction between them was palpable... and unavoidable. I thought the double deception was clever. The ending was kinda blah and predictable but... a really good book! One of my favorites
