THE SPANIARD'S PASSION by Jane Porter

 

Sophie Johnson chose to marry Clive Wilkins, one of her best friends years ago.  Sophie realized her mistake soon after they were married.  Sophie, Clive and Lon had been friends throughout their teenage years, but Sophie was terrified of the feelings she felt for Lon and chose to marry Clive, who was safer, not knowing that Lon was going to propose to her too. It has been years since Sophie has really seen Lon, the last time at Clive’s funeral two years ago.  But Sophie and Lon meet again in London where Sophie is trying to sell the last of her valuable possessions since she was left penniless when Clive died.  Sophie is still terrified of the intense feelings she has for Lon, even after years apart.  She knows that she must get away from Lon before he learns of her feelings and before he learns of her plans to travel to Brazil to find out what really happened to Clive there that resulted in his death.  Sophie must escape Lon before he makes her lose control…

Alonso “Lon” Galvan vows that this time, nothing and no one will stand in the way of making Sophie his.  He has loved her for years, since the first time he met her and he lost his chance to spend forever with her once, he vows to never do so again.  Lon soon learns of Sophie’s trip to Brazil with a man that is dangerous and that he doesn’t trust and he is hot on their trail to keep his woman safe.  When Sophie is kidnapped, Lon stops at nothing to get to her and protect her at all costs…even marrying her.

Will Sophie ever stop running from Lon?  Can they have a future together when Sophie learns things about Lon that he has kept a secret?

Heated, explosive and intense is Jane Porter’s latest tale, The Spaniard’s Passion.  Lon is an Alpha male who can work one up to frustration with his stubbornness and make one burn with his sensuality.  Sophie learns so much about herself in this tale.  She learns that it is okay to lose control sometimes, she discovers her own needs and desires and learns to grab happiness when she finds it. Ms. Porter does a wonderful job of keeping the reader on the edge of their seat, biting their nails and yelling at Sophie to take what’s is right in front of her…her perfect soulmate.  This tale literally takes one’s breath away with a roller-coaster of emotions, danger, intrigue and the bonds of love and family.  Jane Porter is an author to read when looking for action and adventure, sensual characters, an Alpha male who is sexy as sin and for love that transcends time.  The Spaniard’s Passion is definitely a must read.
