"Bond of Hatred" on steroids :-)

Back cover: "The Brandizi diamond has been in the Kyriacou family for generations. So when it comes into Angelina Littlewood's possession, Nikos Kyriacou must get the jewel back. But Angie has her own reasons for keeping it -- and for wanting to teach arrogant Greek Nikos a lesson! What better way than to agree to marriage? But then Angie discovers what being Nikos's wife entails... He has one demand: he's her husband and she'll share *his* bed!" Unusual reprise of Graham's Bond of Hatred (Mills & Boon Large Print Romances). Read this one twice, so can't be that bad. :-) Angelina has a PhD in archeology and is the ugly duckling of her family. Her younger, beautiful sister dies falling off Greek tycoon Nikos Kyriacou's balcony. The sister is wearing a famous diamond, presumably a gift, at the time of her death; the diamond passes into Angelina's possession. Angelina wants revenge; she refuses to return the said diamond to Nikos. Forces him into marriage, discovers he ain't that bad, turns self into siren, blah, blah. The writing is a bit strained, the hero unconvincing, but what the heck. The book's not bad.

Nice work!

FROM THE BACK COVER: Blackmailed into marriage...and into the bridal bed! The Brandizi Diamond came into the possession of the Kyriacou family generations ago. It has traditionally been passed down to the eldest son to offer as a gift to the woman of his heart... When the diamond comes into beautiful Angelina Littlewood's possession, Nikos Kyriacou knows he must do everything to get the jewel back. But Angie has her own, very personal reasons for wanting to keep it - and for wanting revenge on Nikos! She decides to end Nikos's hedonistic lifestyle once and for all - by marrying him. Blackmailing Nikos into a wedding may be one thing, but Angelina discovers that actually being married to the gorgeous, arrogant Greek is quite another... For Nikos has one demand. As his wife, she will be expected to share his life...and his bed! I think the idea of the story is not a new one, not exactly the same, but when I read the plot I remember "BOND OF HATRED" by Lynne Graham. Since I love it very much, I love this one, too. The characters are almost the same, but here Ms.Morgan wrote the heroine as a PhD graduated. The last chapter (ending) is not quite smooth in my opinion, as if Ms.Morgan wanted to finish it quickly. I'd rather she have it in different situations just like you wrote "SALE OR RETURN BRIDE". I love your writing style anyway, so compasionate and breath-taking. Look forward to more books from you, Ms.Morgan.
