Bullfighter's Daughter #1
Fierce Love
Their affair is the main attraction…and the distraction a killer has waited for.
Magdalena Aragon never thought she’d answer the summons of a father she’s never known. The world-famous, many-times-married matador has provided everything she needs—except his time. There’s only one reason she packs her bags for Spain: what her psychologist calls “closure”.
In spite of herself, she’s drawn in by her father’s charm, irresistible despite his desperate illness. Then there’s his handsome protégé, a rising star in a sport she hates, yet he sets her passions on fire.
With a past as shadowy as his Gypsy heritage, Rafael Mondragon has always had to fight for what he wants. His freedom, his dream to become a star in the bull ring, and now his mentor’s daughter, who stirs his every dark desire.
Certain she won’t be staying long, Maggie escapes from the craziness of her newly discovered, fractured family to indulge in a red-hot fling. After all, Rafael is the last man she could ever love. Her heart has other ideas.
The heat from their affair captures the attention of the wrong people—the tabloids, and someone who has a twisted sense of honor. By the time Rafael realizes Maggie is the real target, it could be too late to save her.
Warning: Hot sex, dangerous secrets, men who challenge death for sport

Kitty's review posted on Guilty Pleasures
I wasn't sure, when I first started reading this book, if I would be able to get into the storyline. But, as you will tell, it grabbed me and didn't let go.
Maggie has never met her father. All she was told by her mother was that he was a famous Bullfighter in Spain. She dreamed, as a little girl, of a father that was like a “knight-in-shining armor”. She stalked him through the internet just to see what he was like; she learned Flamenco Dancing just for him. But, she grows up to realize that that was all it was, a dream. She felt unloved, unwanted and totally did not trust men. Her boyfriend/psychologist encourages her to meet her father when he finally does summon her to Spain. His parting word's, “I never stood a chance with you, and if you don’t go to Spain and confront your father for abandoning you, the next man won’t either.” So the journey begins.
The family dynamics in the book had me totally confused. Her father, Miguel, loved woman and loved to marry and have children with a lot of woman. I think that was the hardest part of the storyline, keeping up with what children belonged to who. We are introduced to Rafael Mondragon right after Maggie meets her dieing father for the first time and sparks fly right from the beginning. The problem – he is hated by her brother Santos and the rest of the Aragon family. Then the suspense and fun begins. A grandmother who hates her, an Aunt that won't acknowledge her and a scorned woman combine together to make an interesting story.
When Magdalena finally decides to let go with Rafael, the love-making is explosive. She is fighting the attraction because of her dislike for Bullfighting and Rafael is pursuing her endlessly. And, during this time, someone is trying to tear her apart from the family.
Fierce Love was a great read. It combined love and suspense in a very interesting way. All the characters in
the book interacted with each other, played off of each other well and were very well-written. You could see the connections and where they were leading. What you couldn't see was how the book was going to end. An ending that had me totally surprised and thrilled.
