Product Description
Argentinean billionaire Alejandro D'Arienzo has fresh prey: heiress Tamsin Calthorpe, the ravishing but spoilt beauty who wrecked his past.
He's ready to settle this score! What Alejandro doesn't know is that Tamsin loved him, hiding her naivety under the guise of wilful sophistication. Now a talented designer, she's working hard to prove herself, despite her pedigree. But her credibility is in the hands of ruthless Alejandro, who offers an ultimatum - her name in tatters or her body in his bed.
He'll accept nothing less than her steamy surrender!

Format:Paperback
I adore an excellent series and The International Billionaires are going to be wonderful to read; along with a rugby theme. India Grey's contribution and the second book in the series is absolutely without a doubt......breathtaking as only she can write.
Immediately one will fall in love with the sexy Argentina rugby player, Aljandro D'Arienzo. He's a gorgeous athletic specimen, handsome, rich and sinister. Years ago he lost his position on the English top rugby team due to a misunderstanding between the coach and his daughter, the Calthorpe's. He'll do anything and everything to get even, so he tricks Tasmin Calthorpe into returning with him to Argentina to design uniforms for his team.
You will adore Tasmin Calthorpe, her spunk and spirit just leap off the page. Her passion for fashion and proving herself are fierce. But her past with Aljandro, her youthful crush and her adult attraction will grip your heart. Their journey is full of passion, heat and at times hard to read as they are constantly in a battle of wills and sexual attraction. Be ready for tears when Tasmin shares past secrets. Their's is such an incredible love story, full of adventure, heat plus the two settings........rugby in England and polo in Argentina only add to this incredible book.
At the Argentinean Billionaire's Bidding is like both sports, a very powerful addition to the series and trust me the ending will have you literally "cheering" in the stands!

A Romance Junkie
13 Nov 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book was positively awesome and this was the second time I read it. Lady Tamsin fell in love with Alejandro D'Arienza six years prior when she was eighteen years old. Alejandro was a rugby player for England her dad managed the team. I don't want to tell you the story and spoil it for you but things happened or didn't happen that night depending who's telling the story that shaped the lives of these two. I loved Alejandro, he was rich, handsome, arrogant and oh so macho. He hated Tamsin and she was fighting to hate him right back. Needless to say they both lost that battle big time, oh but what a great game they played!!!! I also like Tamsin very much because she was feminine, beautiful, had an explosive temper and backbone. I wish more books had heroines like her. I gave this book five stars and recommend it highly.
This couple can barely tolerate each other
4 Feb 2011
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I had a difficult time liking either one of the leading characters of this novel. They never appealed to me, both were stubborn, jumped to conclusions and seemed like they could barely stand each other. I have never been a huge fan of the couple who actively despise one another then suddenly fall in love, there has to be understanding and empathy between the leads for me to believe all is forgiven and this usually takes more than a few pages to be convincing.
Argentinian rugby player Alejandro D'Arienzo is a world class athlete but for some reason he is unliked by the British rugby coach who is looking for a way to get him kicked off the team. The coach's daughter, Tamsin Calthorpe, has a mad crush on Alejandro and tries her wiles on him at a function in her home. Her father gets wind of it and throws Alejandro off the team but Tasmin never makes the connection between her almost rendezvous with the handsome Spaniard and her father's decision. Instead she is petulantly angry that he never took her up on her seduction after he appeared to be so interested.
Tasmin comes off many times as flighty. She is not great at understanding cause and effect. She does not make these causal connections in this novel and there are several of them, like why Alejandro left her and was then kicked off the squad, and how she wins a lucrative clothing contract for her father's team. Her business skills are not on target either, her company is in trouble and she puts herself in a terrible time constraint by producing the first batch of shirts for her father's team practically the day before they were to be worn. The first batch of shirts had a dye problem forcing her to make shirts quickly and she never even had enough for substitutes on the team.
When Tasmin spies Alejandro years later she is still angry at his rejection and he still thinks she was in cahoots with her father in getting him kicked off the team. Of course, neither one discusses these issues with each other. Instead they bicker all the time. Tasmin's lines are often, snapped or hissed at Alejandro.
There is a little background given on both of them and Alejandro is the more sympathetic of the characters but he still can be arrogant. Tasmin plays the poor misunderstood rich girl quite well, she defends herself often with her degree in fashion to prove she is smart yet cannot remember that Argentina is south of the equator and in a different season than England. She also is frustrated that Alejandro does not know things about her like the full extent of her injury she received when she was a child. How would he know, they barely have a civil conversation without both of them throwing accusations and misinterpreting each others actions.

Excellent Ending
21 May 2009
Format:Kindle Edition
Basically, Tamsin was the reason that Alejandro lost his dreams. And she was so humiliated when he got up in the middle of their foreplay and never came back that she never slept with anybody else. I liked the sexual tension that was between them. I really disliked Tamsin's physical disability though, because he actually hurts her when he pulls hard on her arm. I loved his proposal method, though, and that's why this book is memorable.
