REVIEW: Spaniard’s Baby of Revenge by Clare Connelly

Spaniard’s Baby of Revenge by Clare Connelly
Spaniard’s Baby of Revenge by Clare Connelly is a sexy and passionate ‘one night brings unexpected consequences’ romance!

When Antonio Herrera shows up on Amelia diSalvo’s doorstep in rural England, his plans to convince her to sell him the shares of one of her family’s companies, Prim’Aqua, are slightly waylaid by their mutual attraction. But after their intimate encounter, he reveals why he’s really there – and Amelia doesn’t hesitate to kick him out!

Amelia prefers her quiet life of solitude as a schoolteacher away from the spotlight that shines on the powerful diSalvo family, one she was introduced to at age 12 when her supermodel mother died and she found out who her father really was. Though she loves her new-found father and brother Carlo, she’s happy with the simpler life she’s chosen after always being in the paparazzi’s’ eye with her mother. But one night with Antonio changes everything.

Six weeks after their steamy night together she shows up in Madrid at his office, pregnant. Antonio hasn’t forgotten his plans to avenge his father who was cheated out of his business by the diSalvos. He gives Amelia an ultimatum – marry him, and sell him her shares of Prim’Aqua and he’ll stop his plan to ruin her brother Carlo. Accepting his bargain for the sake of her family, has she consigned herself to a loveless marriage or will they find their way to a happy ever after?

Passion, drama, and family ties are the driving forces in this sexy story. When Amelia finds out she’s pregnant, she never has any plans to keep the news from Antonio. She knows what it’s like to be kept from a parent and believes she must find a way to make things work with Antonio for the sake of their unborn child. Antonio is interested in a real marriage (sex included!) but she has a hard time reconciling his feelings of revenge and hatred for the rest of her family. They do get married but she insists that they keep it a secret from her family until she’s ready to tell them, knowing they will be livid that she’s ended up in the arms of the enemy.

Antonio and Amelia have their share of ups and downs at the start of their marriage, though it’s not long before their attraction to each other results in more sexy scenes and emotional commitment. Though Antonio would prefer to keep love out of the equation, his plans don’t last for long. Naturally their secret marriage is soon revealed publicly and dealing with Amelia’s family causes Antonio to have to make a choice between revenge or happiness. They find their way to a happy ending, complete with a sweet epilogue. It’s an entertaining and enjoyable unexpected pregnancy romance!
