Second Book in Ramirez Bride Series

When Anton "Luis" Scott Lee finds out that the man he always thought was his father was not really his father, but married his pregnant mother to give him a name everything in his life seems to be a lie. His real father was a playboy, Enrique Ramirez, who now informs him through his will that he also has two half brothers and that if he wants to learn their identity he must marry the woman who once jilted him, Cristina Marques. Anton knows he will be haunted by believing every stranger he sees is his brother and knows he will marry Cristina to know their identities. Actually Anton still loves Cristina even though she hurt him like nobody ever could and he also wishes to hurt her the way she hurt him. When he learns that the rich old man she jilted him for left her penniless and her home is on the verge of being taken from her, he dangles the key to saving her family home, just marry him. Cristina did jilt Anton, but the truth is she never stopped loving him and there were secrets she kept that may have changed everything. Now Cristina and Anton must try to make the best of their situation but some hurts can never heal. This was a steamy book with a really bitchy antagonist but somehow it seems that a lot of the problems the characters had were of their own making. It was a good book and I am looking forward to the final, the Disobedient Virgin. I'm just hoping the book is better than the cheesy title.

Book 2

Back cover: A wife at his command....Anton Luis Scott-Lee has to marry the woman who so callously rejected him years ago. His revenge will be sweet... A mistress at his service...Cristina Marques will be totally at Luis's bidding-bought and paid for! A bride by blackmail. Cristina has no choice but to accept Luis's marriage demand. But Luis will find that his new bride can't or won't fulfill all of her wedding vows... Comments: This is book 2 in the Ramirez series. I don't think that book 1 has to be read first in order to understand what's going on. Just as in the first Ramirez book, Anton receives a package stating that if he does not marry and produce a child within a year then he will never know the true identities of his half-brothers. So, Anton has the perfect person in mind he wants to pay to fulfill this stipulation. Cristina Marques. Though he has loathed her with a passion for six years, he still can't put out the sparks of passion he has for her. The last time they were together she callously ended their relationship and told him that under no circumstances she would bear his English children. Little did he know Cristina was spitting out empty words and trying to cover up her own secrets and pain. So, Anton goes back to England resenting what Cristina did to him and harbors bitter feelings towards her. Then the package comes and Anton sets a plan in motion. He neatly sets up a plan to get Cristina into a position that forces her to either accept his loan from his bank or lose her family home. The passion is definitely there between Cristina and Anton and Reid does a good job at giving both the heroine's and hero's POV. BUT there seemed to be an element missing in this book. Maybe it was because the reason for them breaking up could have been resolved in a different way and not dragged out for I think six years. Overall, this was a good read and it didn't drag on.

Typical Ms.Reid's .....

From the other source: A wife at his command... : Anton Luis Scott-Lee has to marry the woman who so callously rejected him years ago. His revenge will be sweet....

But Luis will find that his new bride can't or won't fulfill all of her wedding vows....
