Arranged Baby. I really enjoyed this book! This story was exciting and full of romance. Arianna was feisty and demanding just like Lionel but sexier. They both wanted to be loved and trusted. This marriage helped Lionel and Arianna, but also his father's health began to improve. This was a sweet romance book.  I voluntarily read a Review Copy of this book. All opinions stated are solely my own and no one else’s.

Ariana & Lionel

‘Daddy knows best ‘ !! In this case is so true , John , Lionel’s father had been diagnosed with cancer and according to the Drs it’s not operable, therefore he may not have much time to live, and his son was done with relationships, he was bitter and angry, because of a horrible breakup. So his dad forced his hand , using guilt trip to give him an heir, even choosing the ‘perfect ‘ woman… Fast Forward. he fought his attraction to Ariana, but Ariana is no ordinary woman, she was all woman, beautiful, confident, took no bs from no one …
She had her own reasons for agreeing…
So see for yourself how Lionel ending thanking his dad for helping him finding indescribable love.
ps. I will leave a review for the bonus through amazon.

I enjoyed it

For a second I thought Lionel would never feel love for Arianna. He was just too cold. But I loved Mr. John intervention to let him know that life goes on after Lacy Peters. The story is very captivating and sensual.

His planned baby

Which read nice story could use more depth and character development. Lots of grammatical errors which makes it difficult to read smoothly. When you have ADHD these things are important.

GOOD READ

I enjoyed reading this book,loved the characters and the story too. It tug at my heart about his dad being sick. Loved how he finally open up to love again. This was a good love story. The second book was just as good. However in the preview it said the baby father was black,and Christopher was white,when in fact the baby's father is white and Christopher is Asian. All in all a very good read for both books. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a good story to read. Thanks. "wyn"

Didn't finish

I cannot get over all these books stretching out the word count with constant " I am's" and what not. Just put I'm, wouldn't, please!!! It reminds me of my college days trying to lengthen my essays
