His Seductive Revenge (Desire , No 1162)

Rating:
Summary: Delicious!
Review: Heroine: generously-curved

  Venture capitalist and gallery owner Gabe "Romeo" Marquezis is determined to mete out his own brand of justice against power-rich-money-poor Senator Chandler and his wealthy-but-shady business associate Richard Grimes. His plan? To seduce lovely socialite Cristina Chandler and destroy any possibility of the two families merging through matrimony. 
 
After a "chance" meeting at an art exhibit, Gabe puts his scheme in motion by offering to paint Cristina's portrait. But as artist and model become intimate, the unthinkable happens to this world-weary Casanova: Cristina not only gets inside Gabe's bed but also his heart. Will the financier play against the odds, carry out his destructive plan, and risk losing the only woman he has ever loved? 

What worked for me:
Gabe was very well-depicted as the smooth, gorgeous man that no woman can tie down but whom every woman wishes she could. And I loved Cristina's portrayal as a woman on a journey of self-discovery, yearning to break free from the mold her parents had crammed her into. The sexual tension between the two characters was absolutely delicious!

Size-wise Cristina was lushly-built, having put on some weight after coming to the decision that being thin was not for her.

What didn't work for me:
      There's a reason why I don't usually read category romances; namely that they are so darn short! :^) But on the plus side "His Seductive Revenge" is part of a series, so perhaps I'll catch a glimpse of Gabe and Cristina in book two or book three.)

Overall:
     A great read! If you savor sexual tension between your protagonists, you'll love this story. Be aware that there are some pretty steamy scenes toward the end.

Summary: A good book for those of us who do not measure 24-36-24...
Review: Of all the books I've read, this one has become my favorite. I could really relate to Cristina, and I loved the fact that she was portrayed as a beautiful woman even though she did not fit the CONVENTIONAL image of beautiful women. I thought Ms. Crosby did a wonderful job of rounding out her characters, giving them layers, which made them people I cared about. I am looking forward to reading more by Ms. Crosby soon.

Summary: A Masterpiece of Opposites Attract
Review: The author does an incredible job of making an emotionless man like Gabrial come to life when he sets about to seduce a woman for his own purposes. Both characters are delightful and Crosby is incredible at creating hot romance out of bizarre heros and heroines.

Summary: The Cover doesn't do it justice!
Review: The cover is all wrong for this book. The heroine, Cristine, is a plus-size redhead while the hero, Gab, is Hispanic. Yet, by the cover you would have not thought that. This book was HOT!You come to care for both characters in a short time.
For anyone who is tired of reading books about skinny women who get their man and want to read a story about a plump and beautiful woman get her man, this is for you.

Summary: Crosby delivers realistic characters
Review: This was a great book on many levels, but the one thing that made me enjoy it, was the fact that the female character was described as being a size 14-16 and felt comfortable with it. This is a refreshing approach to romance, when it seems that main characters are always super-model thin! This is a wonderful addition to "The Lone Wolves" series and a must read for any Susan Crosby fan.
