Summary: The worst book I ever read
Review: I hated this book!!! The hero was a decent guy but the heroine - she pushed every ick button I have. Selfish, selfish, selfish and this is supposed to be romance? I didn't think so.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Characters Need More Work !!
Review: Jane Porter may portray Maggie as fun, passionate, generous and caring but she doesn't really succeed in it. Maggie got pregnant by some jerk and comes back home. When Nic finds out, he demands to marry her. They get married but then there's the question about their love for each other.

To me, Maggie was a passive person, someone that doesn't have the emotion and strength. Nic has the hero quality but he's too military like. He doesn't seem to show a lot of emotion. I know he has the emotions because the author even puts the story from his point of view. But they deffinitely need more work. Especially with one of their problem. I thought that it wasn't really resolved and that the characters just left it alone.

I gave this 3 stars because there are some good points to the story. Like their truth or dare game, which showed some realness to it.

Summary: Great story by a new writer
Review: This is a rather short romance, but the author has packed a wealth of emotions inside its pages. The hero is strong and noble, old-world ethical and very Italian. When his childhood friend is in trouble, Nic is there for her. Meg is a strong heroine, and I could identify with her, although there were instances in which she should have just smacked Nic across the face. This is a quick read and very enjoyable.

Summary: Great story by a new writer
Review: When Meg comes home to California, it is to hide from her problems and decide what to do about her unborn child. But she runs into Niccolo Dominici, a man she wanted in her past, and a man who knows the secrets of her past. But when he finds out she's pregnant, his honor demands he marry her, whether she likes it or not.

This is a good, strong showing for a new author with promise. Though I don't usually read Harlequin romances, this one was very well done. Meg is tough, but fragile. Niccolo is very sexy and I think Porter's description of his machismo is right on. The change his personality undergoes is realistic and satisfying.
