Law Unto Himself (Large Print Harlequin Romance Series)

Rating:
Summary: Not a favorite, but satisfying
Review: Another angry and bitter man story who hates all women for someone one woman did, meets the innocent princess who changes his mind story. Oliver is a bitter novelist who is writing a novel about Italian history. He meets Francesca, who has been jilted at the alter by her arranged marriage. She's ruled by her Italian family's patriarch, but escapes this to England where she moves in with friends of her English mother. Oliver is the neighbor and after a rocky start, she starts working for him as a researcher. He's cruel with her too often for my liking, which seems to be the norm for books written in the 80s, but they want each other too much and eventually end up together. Her uncle comes to stir up trouble, but they still end up together after a separation. Its romantic with some semi-steamy scenes, but certainly not a favorite. But okay for some light reading.
