I really enjoyed this final installment of the Bride for a Billionaire series. In my opinion it was the best of the four. I liked the plucky heroine even if her name was too plucky for words. The author made such a big deal of her only being 4'10"but then didn't use it in the story in any way. We never even found out how tall the hero was and where her head came to on him. I know it's nit picky and not really important but if you make your heroine so short their needs to be some reason for it. Use it in the story somehow. I was expecting the whole Topsy doesn't drive thing to have something to with her height. That wasn't the only idea that could have been developed more fully. The whole driving thing was short changed and seemed to have been added just to give the character an interesting quirk. There were some other ideas that were short changed but on the whole they didn't bother me too much.

These were minor things thought and I thought that for the most part the plot held together well and I liked both the hero and the heroine although. I thought the ending could have been a bit more fulfilling.

But on the whole I enjoyed it. ( )

Somewhere inside this kitchen-sink story of recycled HP plotlines lies a compelling romance trying to break free. Math-genius Topsy is in Italy trying to find her biological father, who is now married to Dante's mother, who was abused by Dante's father, who also abused Dante. Just when the positive DNA results come back, news comes that Topsy's mother is jailed for running an escort service, followed by the news that Dante's 48 yr old mother is now pregnant with the child who will be half-brother or half-sister to both Topsy and Dante. This roller-coaster ride proves decisively that the author has gone too far with sisters-who-all-marry-billionaires theme--four is just one too many. ( )
