From the back cover: A crisis plunged her into turmoil. Dominique had set aside her plans to enter the convent when she heard the shocking news: her sister, Candy was partially paralyzed and needed her desperately. Alarmed, she set out at once for Italy to be with her. But nursing Candy proved only part of the ordeal. Presidio Romanos, her sister's intensly pasisonate in-law, presented an even greater challenge. Presidio roused desires in her she'd long since sacrificed - or so she thought. Review: Even though it was written during the 80's I still liked it. I was sorta attracted to the book because I was curious about the heroine and her desire to be a nun. I went hmmm.... how in the heck is she going to end with the hero? I was a bit dissapointed that the heroine kept referring to herself that she was plain. I mean she looked sorta hot in the picture with her blonde hair! I gave it a four stars because of because a little itsy bitsy part of me didn't really believe the romance between the hero and heroine (then again not sure if there really is a real life Harlequin romance in the real world!) But otherwise, the book was a fast read and I liked the sort of mystery of the heroine's sister and her husband and their problems.
Brilliant Harlequin book - one of my faves

I couldn't agree more with the previous reviewer - after reading many awful HQN's where despite the H's constant cruelty, affair with another woman or a relative, the h still manages to fall in love with him - this is a book in a million. RJ
Classic 80's romance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I want to warmly recommend this Harlequin classic. I have owned a copy for the last ten years and it's in quite a bad condition for the multiple reading. This is the story of young woman who has renounced to romantic love and decided to become a nurse and a nun. She has to travel to an island to check on her sick sister who lives with her husband and his brother, a proud and passionate italian, signore Romano. Upon meeting their relationship is one of challenge and deep provacation. Romano does call Nicky on her life decisions and her fear to face the world, her complexes and the starting attraction between them. Dialogues are fun and very fast paced, the plot and drama keeps you reading until you turn the last page! The characters are unforgettable, especially the failing Nicky. I place this romance among the top 5 I've read from Harlequin.
