4 1/2 stars!

From the back cover: It's the nineties for heaven's sake... Intelligent women simply do not find themselves won in a card game in Monte Carlo. But Maximillian Donelli makes his own rules, and tonight Francesca Drury is his. Her loyalty to her brother offers no alternative - she has to go through with this crazy charade. But kidnapping! Who does Max Donelli think he is? Her brother's archrival, that's who. And now Max's potent sexuality promises to weaken Francesca's defences - and threatens to make her a traitor... My thoughts: This book brings back good memories! I read this more than 10 years ago but I had to sell all my books when I moved to the US =( Thank goodness I found this book again. The back cover above sorta tells the whole story so I dont need to repeat it. Needless, I love the hero. He's oh so commanding and in the first pages you can kinda see that he is so attracted to the heroine, haha! Kidnap me please! The hero and heroine both have sparks and you can definitely see the chemistry. The heroine is a little blind and a bit of a pushover - when it comes to her evil brother that is. I re-read this book in one shot. As usual I wish there was an epilogue =P

Sensational Jet Set Passions!

Shy and graceful Francesca feels horribly out of place in the decadent jet-set world of her brother's shady finance dealings. But when he takes her to Monaco to charm some clients, she agrees reluctantly, feeling the need to protect her charming but totally irresponsible half brother. Little does Francesca know that her dear dim brother has seriously inconvenienced shark-like financial wiz Max Donelli. Max, a Corsican nobleman, is used to fast cars and fast women, and he handles both with ease. But Francesca is something new. Instead of a one night fling, he takes the gentle blonde to his ancient castle and keeps her as "hostage" to make sure her brother pays back all the money he embezzled. Francesca loathes Max at first, in spite of the way her senses buzz every time they rub up against each other in his rugged jeep or in the gardens of his medieval fortress. Before long the two of them are wondering whether the sexual passions exploding between them are the result of hatred or love. This is the kind of romance we don't see much anymore, a classic and classy damsel in the very firm hands of an old-fashioned hunk and man of honor. Sandra Marton is truly the best of the old-school Harlequin authors, and her work only grows better with age, like fine wine or autographed baseballs or Fifties doo-wop.

The Corsican Gambit

Hi, I know this space is for reviews, but I have been meaning to buy this book by Sandra Marton. Yet, I don't know anything about it. Can you tell me a little about the main characters?
