House of Glass (Harlequin Presents No, 1615)

Rating:
Summary: Decent
Review: I agree with the other reviewer in that this book was lacking the typical Reid passion. I didn't particularly care for the backstory between the two, with Lily being engaged to Daniel, then meeting Dante. Despite the obvious attraction between the two, she still marries Daniel. Her motives become obvious (painfully obvious, making it ridiculous that Dante would be so blind), but it is really the ease with which Dante simply let her go and marry his brother that really seemed out of place with a Reid hero. Nevertheless, it was still a relatively good book, keeping me involved in the characters and their love story, if somewhat unimpressed.
From the back: Lily's marriage to Daniel had pitted brother against brother. And now the raging, hate-fueled desire had come full circle with her husband's death. Daniel's brother Dante had made her life hell. He'd arroused a tumult of sexual hunger...of wanting, needing and knowing it could never be. She'd been living a lie - and now was the time to tell Dane the truth. Confession was the only chance Lily had to make him understand - and make him want - her love!

Summary: Enjoyable read
Review: Lily was attracted to one brother but married another. Recently widowed, she had no one to turn to except Dane. While he still despised and resented Lily for marrying his brother, Dane found that he was still tormentingly attracted to Lily. Lily, on her part, was determined to keep the real reason for her marriage a secret although this meant her having to endure Dane's contempt and anger. It seemed that they needed to clear their heads about each other and so agreed to spend 6 months apart. How they got together again makes a heartwarming and compelling read. Michelle Reid usually writes a good story. The lead characters fairly sizzle together. The bedroom scenes are a combination of tenderness and heartache. A most enjoyable read.

Summary: house of glass
Review: The back cover makes the story sounds very interesting, but the dialogue has no life, in fact the whole content of the book is boring. I couldn't make the effort to finish reading this book. Michelle Reid must have wrote this book in her sleep. It doesn't have her usual hot intensity like "A Passionate Marriage".
