Product Description
Broken vows don't necessarily mean a broken marriage...Angie de Calvhos meant every word of the vows she shared with husband Roque at the altar. Pity he didn't return her sincerity...Expecting happy-ever-after, instead Angie found herself going through a mortifyingly public separation! Now, divorce papers in hand, Angie has finally built up the courage to put an end to her time as a de Calvhos wife once and for all. But she's forgotten the magnetic pull that devilish Roque possesses. And that broken vows don't necessarily mean a broken marriage...

I was really really disappointed with MR's Mia's Scandal (currently free to download on Kindle, which pretty much says it all) and had almost decided that I wouldn't be reading another MR book, but I got this from the library and am really pleased that I took a chance on an old fave of an author.
This tale is basically an updated version of the Charlotte Lamb classic The Long Surrender, and whilst it doesn't quite match the original, it comes pretty close: Angie and Roque married in a hurry, didn't communicate too well and she was too preoccupied with keeping her wayward younger brother, Alex, in line to see what damage it was doing to her brand new marriage...After yet another row, she stormed off to yet again sort out her feckless brother, turned back home half way there, only to find Roque in a compromising position with another woman, and assumed the worst. So, Angie ran away, Roque hunted for her like crazy, planning his revenge, until Alex of all people turns out to be the one to bring Angie back into Roque's life...tit-for-tat as in the CL novel.
It's a year later and Alex is in trouble and Roque is the only one able to help him out and his price is that Angie agrees to come back to him. That's basically it. Shortish and sweet, it could have earned a full 5* review if the estrangement and denouement had gone on for a bit longer, as barely married a year and barely separated a year, the leads are back to where they were and all seemed a little too pat, but I suppose with M&B that's what you often get. The CL version took place over a slightly longer period of time and had some added touches that made it more poignant, more emotional and more passionate, but I did enjoy this one, and yes, I will read more by this re-discovered and in-favour-again author.

Michelle did a good job. Gotta admit when the same old tired relative gambling bit reared in the opening, I thought not again, but Michelle created a viable story with plenty of heat between the couple.
I enjoyed the book. Michelle more often than not delivers a heated, exciting read and she does it again this time. After being disappointed by several M&B authors, I am more selective as to who I read and Michelle is one of my top authors.

I did not like this book very much at all, Angie married Roque a year ago they are now separated and she has filed for divorce. Roque has discovered a reason to stop her and have his revenge for her walking out on him. During the year they were together he felt that she constantly put her teenage brother before him. She was totally responsible for her brother as their parents were dead. The last time they were out together at a party, she left to deal with another crisis of her brothers making , Roque was not happy about this. She left the party but soon changed her mind and returned only to find Roque in a compromising situation. She then left and had stayed away till requesting a divorce. As he later tells her she had every right to be angry with him for what he did and if she had done it he would have thrown her out of his life without a second thought. I found that although Roque had a point about the brother his own behavior was very difficult to justify double standards doesn't even begin to cover it. No this book is not a keeper for me!
I have just finished reading a book first published in 1993 by this author titled Lost in Love which the above book is an almost exact replica. Except this earlier book is far superior.
