Theve got CHEMISTRY all right !!

This was the first romance novel that I have read and it still is in my keepers shelf. This tale of passion starts with Sara, who is impersonating her actress sister Delight. To give Delight time to run away and get hitched to her paramour, Carlo,Sara needs to trick Marco (Carlo's brother) that Delight is really in town. After their meeting,Marc "kidnapps" Sara via his private plane and takes her to his mansian. Yeah, being the Duca di Cavalieri has certain advantages ;). The dialogue between Sara and Marco is amusing to say the least. And the pool scene is diabolic! No more said, you have to read it to get the rest of the story and the details. All in all, the sexual tension between them startS with A SPARK AND TURNS INTO AN ALL OUT BONFIRE!! Oh my, enjoy

Scorching Hot And Filled With Excitement!

Poor Sara! Golden haired and beautiful, sensitive and romantic, she is still forever overshadowed by the other women in her family. Mama Mona is the most glamorous movie star in Hollywood. Half sister Delight is the most wickedly adventurous porn star in the business. Sara is in the middle, wondering -- will any man ever find me desirable? Enter Marco DeCavlieri, the most intense, passionate, possessive, and GORGEOUS hunk in all of Italy. Worth hundreds of millions, powerful and ruthless, Marco is still brutally protective of his family honor. When he hears that his silly younger brother Carlo has taken up with gold-digger Delight, he decides to take matters into his own hands! What happens next is just too sexy to be described. It's sort of like mistaken identity, with a bit of kidnaping, only Sara soon finds she doesn't want to escape! Her beauty and goodness inflame the dark duke, so that soon he finds himself giving in to her instead of the other way around. And then -- oh, but I can't go on. Read it for yourself! Magnificent, epic length, and sexy, this tale of passion between a proper English society girl and an uninhibited Italian Duke is truly the best of both worlds. It has the elegance, luxury and mystery of a great historical -- Marco is really more of a 16th century Corsair than a modern jet setter, even if he does have his own helicopter, sports car and mansion. On the other hand, golden-haired Sara is really more of an innocent, chaste, Jane Austen heroine, even if she is the daugher of a famous -- and sexually adventurous -- movie star. Even the minor characters are fascinating, like Carlo, the Brooklyn born stepbrother Marco protects, and Delight, the party girl with a heart of gold, and even Serafina, the stern old housekeeper who functions as a mother figure for Sara. Great story, great romance, great settings and characters!

What? No Sequel?

For such a twisted "love" triangle I throughly enjoyed Mrs. Rogers work, and I really didn't want this novel to end. It is a love story on a major detour, and is something I certainly wouldn't have thought of, but I am glad Mrs. Rogers did. As surprising as the plot was, I was even more surprised by the ending, and would really love to hear more about how all turned out in the end. I truly wish that more of the story was still left to read.

A BEAUTIFUL ROMANTIC NOVEL.

AS EVERYONE SAY, NEVER READ THIS BOOK WHEN YOU ARE BURDENED WITH LOTS OF WORK. I READ IT JUST FEW DAYS BACK. AND I STILL WORRY THE FACT THAT THE NOVEL IS OVER. THIS NOVEL WANTS YOU TO YEARN FOR LOVE. IT DEVELOPS OUR MIND TO THINK WHETHER THIS WOULD CONTAIN MORE PAGES. IT IS MORE ROMANTIC FOR A TEENAGER. I COULD SAY, BUT IT IS CERTAINLY NOT A DISCREDIT. READ THIS. THEN YOU WILL LOVE READING BOOKS!

Exciting - Stimulating - Can't put it down !! Must Read!!!

Don' pick up this book if you are pressed with things to do! Once you start, you can't stop. This book will take you through every emotion known to man! It will make you laugh, cry, get mad, and aroused! You will be lost in the experience! This is a must read!!! It is a romance novel, but unlike any you have ever read before!!! I read it in 1982 and the feeling is still with me!!!!! Enjoy!!!
