Lazaro's Revenge

Let put it this way if this was a real person I would say he needs psychiatric help. I would run far away from a person who will be so evil and hate so much to let his hatred simmer for so long. I'm giving it 4 stars because he later on puts thing right and I really like Zoe.

Lazaro's revenge (bk.2-The Galvan brides mini-series) is set a couple of years after "In Dante's debt. Lazaro is the illegitimate son of Tino & brother of Dante. Lazaro has been secretly working to destroy Dante because of the way his mother & himself was treated by the aristocratic Galvan's. He succeds but at a cost. Zoe, Daisy's sister who is Dante's wife is kidnapped by Lazaro at Dante's request because of her relationship with an older man. While she is with him Lazaro is about to take over Dante's company. Lazaro has worked for Dante for years, plotting his revenge. Daisy is near the end of her 3rdp pregnancy, the previous 2 babies died when the take-over begins. Daisy is rushed to hospital & delivers the baby. The situation is very frought with tension as Dante & Lazaro come face to face. Daisy nearly died. Daisy & Zoe's mother died in childbirth when Zoe was born. Zoe finds herself in an imposible situation, loving the man who is out to destroy her family. Zoe marries Lazaro to save Dante & Daisy. The take-over is turned into a merger. But even that doesn't put things right. Daisy disowns Zoe when she marries Lazaro. To her family is everything. How can things ever be right between the 2 brother s & sisters again. It will need a miracle... I have never read a book where the hero is so evil, where his actions hearly cause the death of 2 people very close to him. You wonder to yourself as you read this story how it can ever be resolved to everyone's satisfaction. But Jane has done it brilliantly. I'm of to read bk.3 "Mistaken for a mistress" which is an online read from Mills & Boon. Estrella Galvan is the heroine & is sister to Dante & Lazaro. It is set 5 years after this one.

LAZARO'S REVENGE is a modern-day Beauty and Beast. Lazaro is dark, edgy and has become one of my all-time favorite romance heroes. Zoe doesn't seem to be his equal, but looks are deceiving. Throughout the book she discovers and appreciates her inner strength. It is through her optimism, love and belief in him that Lazaro doesn't get lost in his burning desire to destroy. This against-all-odds romance is about sacrifices and difficult choices. If you love reading romances, you should read LAZARO'S REVENGE.
