The Santangeli Marriage saracraven 9780263869897 Books

Cheater for a hero/zero. Has a mistress when he proposes and is cheating with a married woman because his wife has been gone for 8 months. As far as I can tell this zero never even made an effort to reconcile with the wife until the issue of an heir came up after those same 8 months. And at the end of the book he tell the h that he loved her the moment he put a ring on her. I don't believe it and never will. If you love someone you don't cheat on them the way he had been doing.

Horrible hero, don't waste money on this one.

The Santangeli Marriage saracraven 9780263869897 Books Reviews

One let me say that I love to read Harlequin books by Sara Craven (I tend to like the old authors because the "hero" is usually stronger).

So the book is about a nineteen year old Marisa, who was adopted as a child by the wealthy Santangeli family after the death of her parents (who left her with no money at all). Marisa of course is in love with the only child and heir Lorenzo Santangeli, who of course could not have cared less about her. Marisa is essentially emotionally blackmailed into marrying Lorenzo because of the fact that his family paid for all her care and schooling since she was a child. So Marisa marries Lorenzo and finds out about his mistress that he had at the time of his marriage proposal (i.e. couldn't keep it in his pants or do the decent thing and break up with her first). So of course Marisa runs back to London.... So what will happen with this marriage of convenience that is just to provide heirs and settle Marisa's "debt"? *****SPOILERS*****

Spoilers.... The reason I gave this story 2 stars is because the hero was such an arrogant, womanizing, jerk, who could not keep it in his pants. First he proposes to her and he still has a mistress... but it gets worse. Here they are married and he after only a few months of not getting any because they are seperated he has an affair with a married woman. What is so hard about being faithful? I hate when the "hero" can't keep it in his pants. Then he doesn't understand why she is upset when she was in England and not providing any, but he should be forgiven because "he was going to tell her". The hypocrite of course would have blown his top if his virginal bride had of course had sex with another man while they were seperated. The "hero" was an immoral arrogant rat, who would have deserved her cheating on him. He did not fit my standards of a "hero" at all.
I could barely get through this book. It had no light moments at all. She was an uptight drama queen and he a clueless dolt! Also, it was just a constant rehashing of the same issues over and over. The heroine chose to make the marriage totally unworkable because she "had been forced into it". Not really, she chose to go into the marriage. She could have said "no" pretty easily but once having said "yes", why not try to make it work? I was very annoyed with her!
i am a long time harlequin reader. this book was a totally waste of money and time. the characters the hero or the heroine were unlikeable and i am a easy going person. i could not finish the book. and i am really not happy i bought the audio too. i may have to put sara craven on my block list.
One of the most depressing books I've ever read. It starts out bad and goes down hill all the to the end. We all have enough heart ace don't want to read about it .
Not one of my favorites by Sara Craven. The plot line is that Marisa has been told she must marry Lorenzo. His family had raised her for him. She had a childish crush on him for years until her cousin cue's her in. And now after the marriage she has left him. He came for her to complete the contract. He wants an heir with her. His grandmother from hell puts her two cents in here and ruins what could have been a new beginning. Now Marisa is torn. This is a spoiler here-she finds out that she can not have children. So what is she to do? She loves Lorenzo has always loved him. This is even a good HEA ending for this story line. I read romance to get away from such angst. For this person Marisa she should have had a happier ending.
I normally love Sara Craven's work, but this book was disappointing. It took me a while to recognize why. The book does not reflect the development of their relationship - why and how they fell in love. Overwhelmingly, the book focuses on the tension she found out her family owed the Santangeli's for suppporting them; their mothers planned for them to marry; he wanted a virgin bride to give him children. That part of the story dominates the book so much that in the end when they suppposedly fall in love, you're not sure why. They spend 150 pages miscommunicating, making erroneous assumptions about each other, misunderstanding each other, and they spend 20 pages discovering they had fallen in love. The reader is left wondering just when that happened and why. Is it just based on the physical? They don't spend any time talking to one another or developing a relationship, they don't do anything together, have fun, etc., so I was stunned when suddenly they were in love. The kicker for me was also that she found out she couldn't have children. So I'm reading this book that is really depressing, then she can't have children. The reason for the storyline making her infertile is not clear to me. The only thing I can assume is that Ms. Craven wanted to establsh that Lorenzo loved Marisa so much that even her infertility did not matter even though the main reason he married her was to have children. It's a real downer at the end of the book. You don't feel good about this story. It's a sad ending. I read this book and just found it disappointing and depressing.
