The Sicilian's Marriage Arrangement

This book is pretty much a typical Harlequin Presents book. There's a strong alpha hero, an innocent heroine, blackmail, and horrible misunderstandings that are, of course, resolved by the end of the book.

Another reviewer has summed up the plot quite well, so I'll just add my thoughts about the book. Overall, it was a pretty good read - Lucy Monroe really knows how to grab the reader and suck you into a story. Luciano's alpha-ness goes a little overboard at times, and things are tied up a little too quickly and neatly at the end for my tastes, but altogether, this was a good way to spend an hour of my day.

Pretty decent read. The hero jumps to conclusions and causes unnecessary problems but hey it's harlequinland. Still the conflict was different from what I expected. I expected the heroine to throw a fit when she finds out about the reason the hero married her but instead it was him throwing a hissy so at least it was different.

Overall an enjoyable read for HP fans.
