Customer Reviews

Loved it despite the flaws

Even though the leads in this book did some stupid things, I really liked this book. Maybe it was the humanity of the hero or the fact that the heroine-atyoically for a Harlequin, was educated and self supporing. What ever it was, really worked for me. I will be looking for more works by Ms Baird.

Another winner!

With orders to get some rest and relaxation, Dr. Rosalyn May is sent home to England for three months. Attending her cousin Ann's engagement dinner, Rose is stunned to be introduced to Xavier Valdespino...the uncle of the groom and the man she had a passion-filled one-night stand with ten years earlier, when she was a model. When he doesn't recognize her, Rose breathes a sigh of relief and doesn't mention that they've known each other.As soon as he hears Rosalyn's musical laughter, Xavier decides he's going to have her. Nothing will stop him. Meeting her face to face clinches his plans. She is Maylyn; the woman who spent a night with him then disappeared without a trace.Knowing that Jaime's grandfather is a stickler for propriety, Rose is asked to be Ann's chaperone while the engaged couple visit Xavier's family home in Spain. Rose reluctantly agrees, although to her way of thinking, anywhere near Xavier is not her idea of rest and relaxation.Once there, Xavier admits to Rose that he knew immediately when they were introduced who she was. Believing a friend's lies about Rose and wanting revenge for what she supposedly did, Xavier blackmails her into marriage. If she doesn't say "yes", he has the power to ruin Ann's upcoming marriage. Unable to refuse because Ann would be devastated, Rose complies with Xavier's demands. Can a marriage begun in revenge become a marriage of love?A MOST PASSIONATE REVENGE is just that....passionate. It has the ultimate alpha hero, hard and formable on the outside, yet soft and warm on the inside after he gets his ladylove. A strong heroine who has deep feelings for everything she believes in. You will love reading Xavier and Rose's story. Both are passionate individuals who overcome past issues to find love again.
