Disappointing

I normally love Sara Craven's work, but this book was disappointing. It took me a while to recognize why. The book does not reflect the development of their relationship - why and how they fell in love. Overwhelmingly, the book focuses on the tension: she found out her family owed the Santangeli's for suppporting them; their mothers planned for them to marry; he wanted a virgin bride to give him children. That part of the story dominates the book so much that in the end when they suppposedly fall in love, you're not sure why. They spend 150 pages miscommunicating, making erroneous assumptions about each other, misunderstanding each other, and they spend 20 pages discovering they had fallen in love. The reader is left wondering just when that happened and why. Is it just based on the physical? They don't spend any time talking to one another or developing a relationship, they don't do anything together, have fun, etc., so I was stunned when suddenly they were in love. The kicker for me was also that she found out she couldn't have children. So I'm reading this book that is really depressing, then she can't have children. The reason for the storyline making her infertile is not clear to me. The only thing I can assume is that Ms. Craven wanted to establsh that Lorenzo loved Marisa so much that even her infertility did not matter even though the main reason he married her was to have children. It's a real downer at the end of the book. You don't feel good about this story. It's a sad ending. I read this book and just found it disappointing and depressing.

Horrible hero - SPOILERS

Cheater for a hero/zero. Has a mistress when he proposes and is cheating with a married woman because his wife has been gone for 8 months. As far as I can tell this zero never even made an effort to reconcile with the wife until the issue of an heir came up after those same 8 months. And at the end of the book he tell the h that he loved her the moment he put a ring on her. I don't believe it and never will. If you love someone you don't cheat on them the way he had been doing.

Horrible hero, don't waste money on this one.

to dissapointed

i am a long time harlequin reader. this book was a totally waste of money and time. the characters the hero or the heroine were unlikeable and i am a easy going person. i could not finish the book. and i am really not happy i bought the audio too. i may have to put sara craven on my block list.

Very depressing story

One of the most depressing books I've ever read. It starts out bad and goes down hill all the to the end. We all have enough heart ace don't want to read about it .

Agonizing reading!

I could barely get through this book. It had no light moments at all. She was an uptight drama queen and he a clueless dolt! Also, it was just a constant rehashing of the same issues over and over. The heroine chose to make the marriage totally unworkable because she "had been forced into it".
