The Man Who Risked it All by Michelle Reid

The Man Who Risked It AllThe Man Who Risked It All by Michelle Reid
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Loved this story!!! I have always been a big Fan of Michelle Reid and I think she has out done herself again! The man who risked it all is a beautiful reunion love story of Lexi Hamilton and Franco Tolle. The story starts with Franco and Marco his childhood friend taking part in a powerboat race where they are involved in a serious accident that leaves Franco injured and Marco dead. Franco is in the hospital and refuses to see anyone but his wife. When her father in law contacts Lexi and informs her of Franco condition and his request to see her she rushes to his bedside.

When Franco and Lexi first met they were young and easily influenced by the people around them. Franco and Lexi got married when they realized that she was pregnant but their marriage fell apart within six months when Lexi lost the baby and Franco was not around to support her. Lexi moved back to London and started to rebuild her life there.

This is a fast paced read and captivates you right from the start. I loved the interaction and the chemistry between the Franco and Lexi, you could tell throughout the story that they still loved each other. Michelle Reid has done a fantastic job in bringing this story to life, reading this book took me on an emotional filled journey filled with angst and hope, I was routing for Lexi and Franco all the way.

Roccanti's Marriage Revenge by Lynne Graham

Roccanti's Marriage Revenge (Modern)Roccanti's Marriage Revenge by Lynne Graham
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Roccanti's Marriage Revenge by Lynne Graham book,  is the first book in the new series Marriage by Command. I couldn't quite get into this book, It was quite a drag and I was glad when I was done with it. There was no real chemistry between Vitale and Zara.

I am a big fan of Lynne Graham and auto buy all her books, so this one kida threw me for a loop...having said that I look forward to what this series brings.  

Book Blurb
Engaged heiress risks all with mystery man!

Vitale Roccanti's plan was simple - sleep with the daughter to get to the father. What could go wrong? But staring at the black and white headline that announces the success of his plan doesn't feel half as satisfying as Zara did beneath his touch.

Zara Blake is shattered by the public expose of the night she risked it all - and lost. She betrayed her father, and his plans for her marriage, for one chance at passion. But that's nothing compared to the headline that will come in nine month's time!
