Arranged Marriage

Analisa's and Rafael's fathers promised the two in marriage before either of the two were even born. Neither is happy to be forced into an arranged marriage. After Analisa's father dies, Rafael visits her Vermont home to help her out and to bring her back to his family's home in Spain as his fiancée. If Analisa will agree to the pretense of being engaged until Rafael's father gets his strength back after suffering an illness, Rafael will then release her from their betrothal.

This was a really good story. I loved the setting of Spain and the wonderful cast of characters. Analisa and Rafael made a sweet couple. Analisa was a very likable and compassionate heroine. Hero Rafael was a dangerously sexy Spaniard. I loved Rafael's family who show more were so welcoming to Analisa. Maid Angela was such a sweet lady. Other woman Carmen was a lot of fun just by being bad. There's also a very exciting bullfight. The ending of the book was a bit weak with some unnecessary melodrama, but even so, everything else was so good that this still rates 5 stars for me. show less
