Format:Paperback
Again, Kate Walker has written a spellbinding story, one that took this reader on such an emotional journey.
Like so many of us who have attended formal wedding's and heard the clergy say "if anyone knows just cause why these two should not be joined.......", this is exactly how this story begins and I believe where Ms. Walker got her particular idea for this story. Just think about it for a minute, how would you react if someone spoke out? Well, our handsome, sexy alpha Guido does just that and then some, taking everyone present at the wedding by surprise.
When Amber met Guido in Las Vegas, there was an immediate attraction, strong emotions, and longing. So when Guido realized he had to have her, there was only one choice and that was to ask her to marry him. Amber's feelings for him were so strong that she immediately said yes and wanted to marry immediately; they did! However, their relationship was based on one of misunderstanding, lack of communication and secrets. When Amber realized she married him and did not know him she ran and with a man she later promised to marry. At this wedding, the story begins.
Guido arrives at the wedding just in time and forces Amber to leave her wedding, confront the groom, admit she is married to Guido and leaves for Sicily and his home. It is there, she finds out his secret.......he's wealthy, they are married and will remain so and he has not been honest with her. It is here, they both examine themselves, their past, and present and where Amber realizes that she has loved him always, is vulnerable to him and loves him with desperation. And Guido? He believes Amber had never been strong enough to believe in him. He also realizes that he is the only person that has ever stood by her.
I actually felt like I was caught in the eye of a storm. While reading Guido and Amber's story I was on edge, anticipating at every turn, the outcome, wishing and wanting them to resolve their differences and find love again.
The Sicilian Husband, Blackmailed Bride is the first book in the duo Corsentino's brother's series, with Vito's story being next (The Sicilian's Red-Hot Revenge) . These Sicilian men are strong, hard working and love intensely. I cannot begin to tell you how much I loved this first book and I am looking forward to next

What?????
11 Jan 2008
Format:Mass Market Paperback
You have got to be kidding me. There was only one conflict in this book, a stupid misunderstanding, that was stretched across 180 pages to be resolved in one page. One page! That was terribly unsatisfying. The first half of the book was so hateful and drawn out that I forced myself to keep reading, because this book had a five star rating at the time.
I can only describe the heroine as an insecure cowardly liar. I liked Guido, though. You never doubted his feelings for Amber and even when he tried to be cruel, he would soften.
The ending was so abrupt, that I wish the author had cut out 10 pages from the hideous almost wedding scene, that dragged on half the book, and put those 10 pages to a satisfying resolution. This was my first Kate Walker book and hopefully it will be my last. If you like this genre, I would suggest Lucy Monroe instead. She actually has moments where the hero and heroine enjoy each other for a few minutes.

Sicilian Husband, Blackmailed Bride
27 Jun 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Months ago, Amber Wellesley married Guido Corsentino after a whirlwind week of romance during which the two were inseparable. Amber knew she was marrying the man of her dreams and couldn't wait for them to start their new lives together.
Months later Amber finds herself once more standing in front of the altar. This time she is marrying a man of her family's choosing for the benefits he would bring to the marriage as well as the prestige it will bring them to have such an influential and high standing son-in-law. The marriage ceremony doesn't go as planned because the one man she thought she was no longer married to is now standing in the church proclaiming differently. It seems the lowly photographer she fell in love with, is anything but penniless.
In typical Harlequin Presents style, Kate Walker has penned a romantic tale of burning desire and tempestuous love. Guido wanted Amber from the first moment he saw her and those feelings were reciprocated. I found myself wincing from Guido's forcefulness but then a moment later his feelings for Amber would be tender and poignant. Amber's despair at being in love with him and feeling as if he didn't care made me upset more than once.
Sicilian Husband, Blackmailed Bride had me hook, line, and sinker. Just call me a fool for love because I couldn't put this book down!
