The Spaniard's Passion the Galvan Brides

I have been reading Harlequins for almost 30 years and can truly say that Jane Porter could be one the the best Harlequin writers-ever. This book had so much depth, character development, plot and emotion it was hard to believe I was reading a Harlequin. I loved the hero and heroine. I found them believable to the point where I became invested in their story and could not put this book down. This is only my second Porter. I will be on the look out for more books by Porter. The only recent ones I have seen involve sheiks, in which I have interest. Two asides: I like that the two books I read have featued American heorines. I do have one quibble, but that is with the title of the book. Why is it called "The Spanaird's Passion" when the hero was Argentinian/English?

This book is my favorite in the Galvan Brides books. As a teenager, Sophie was overwhelmed by her feelings towards Alonso Galvan. He awoke deep passions in her and to protect herself, she married Clive, Alonso's best friend. Time has passed, now Sophie is a grown woman who is also widowed. Without Clive in her live, Alonso comes back to prove Sophie that she was always meant to be his. The scenes were so good, I thought I was watching a movie. I loved the romance, the especial ceremonies and the final reunion of the Galvan family where I met passed characters. A quick and easy read. Enjoy!

My second Jane porter book in two days and I'm now ordering all of her books and will never miss her future ones. Big, strong and a handsome hero along with a captivating story are her trademarks. Get this book and you won't regret it.

Absolutely loved this book, the best of the series. I loved the ending with all the family joined together for Christmas. It was great to see them all again after reading their individual stories. I wish Jane would write more on the Galvan's. Surely with Tino how he was there has got to be more son's & daughters about we haven't met yet. The possibilities are endless.

Back Cover: Sophie knew she could never give in to her overwhelming attraction to South American millionaire Alonso (Lon) Galvan. So she agreed to a loveless marriage to a man who left her with a pile of gambling debts. But Lon has never renounced his vow that, one day, Sophie will be his! Now, finding her alone and widowed, it seems his prayers have been answered. At last he can show her what real passion is all about-and that he means to make her his bride.I really enjoyed this book so I bought it. It was my favorite out of the series. Lon is breath-takingly gorgeous, anyone would fall in love with him. The only problem I had was Sophie's constant and irritable rejections toward him and her trying to hide behind her dead husband whom she didn't even love. But of course she realizes her stupidity in the end and the heat begins...
