Family Fortune, Theft, Revenge, and Attraction

Tears of Love is story of a man named Javier the Duke. He is a millionaire from Spain who has given up on love. When Javier's grandfather dies, he gives testimony that in order for Javier to stay with the family fortune, he has to get married. Grace is the daughter of a man who stole a lot of money from Javier. The theft gave Javier the perfect opportunity to get revenge and get married to Grace for convenience. At the beginning, Javier didn't much care about Grace hating him because all he wanted was her body. But he immediately discovered that Grace was not going to have anything to do with him even though she found him very attractive. This book was a very good book and I definitely enjoyed reading it, and I definitely give this book 5 stars. --Book reviewed by Marisela Avalos

Romance at it's best

Exquisite from start to finish, this story never lets you down or lagged. It was believable and the hero didn't disappoint. The heroin of the story was not exactly tough and outspoken but again that's not what the hero needed in this story. I read in two hours because I could not put it down. I will keep it in my kindle forever.

Beauty and the Beast, Harlequin Style

I took a chance upon seeing the other reviewer's note and was pleasantly surprised. It was reminiscent of 'Beauty and the Beast' with a sweet but spunky heroine taming a tall, dark, arrogant, and handsome (this is Harlequin) hero who doesn't believe in love. The attraction between them was obvious from the start, and one can see how he gradually falls under her charms and opens his heart under her gentle influence. Now if only Harlequin came up with better titles...

Lots of Heat

Back of Book.... Duke Javier Herrera needs a wife in order to inherit his family's banking business. In Grace Beresford, whose father swindled Javier out of millions, Javier can take revenge and a convenient wife. At first, Javier just wants Grace's body. But this small price she refuses to pay.....despite their explosive mutual attraction. How long can Grace remain his wife in name only? At first I thought this book would be like every other Harlequin that has the herion family indebted to the hero line - a quick and okay read. I'm glan I was wrong. This book is very emotional and passionate. I only hate that it was so short. Javier is so sexy in his vulnerability. He has a past lacking in loving emotions and strives hard not to develop any for Grace and tries to keep her at a distance emotionally. Grace is a spitfire and does not take anything lying down. She is strong and does not let anyone walk over her. They both try to hold their emotions in check. They both fail and it was a pleasure to read.
