Vše měl vyřešit Nicolo Dante, který se za Kiley O‘Dellovou vydal osobně. Předpokládal, že energická kráska je dozajista podvodnice, přesto byl zasažen nezvladatelnou touhou po ní!

I love family first and foremost, which is why writing family sagas and stories that involve family is so much fun. Maybe you can tell that from my books since they always feature the warmth and joy and ridiculousness that comes from having a close-knit family.

I also love animals and have taken in rescue dogs and cats and fostered dogs for the local animal shelter.

And of course, I love writing. All I need is a functioning brain (batteries not included), a pen, and paper, and I can write anywhere. Please don’t let a conversation with me lag because my imagination takes over and I. Am. Checked. Out!

USA Today bestselling author, Day Leclaire is the author of more than 60 novels and has received an impressive eleven nominations for the romance industry's most prestigious award, Romance Writers of America RITA© Award. Day lives in Charlotte, NC and spends her days obsessively writing while vaguely remembering to pay attention to her adorable husband, busy son and daughter-in-law, two tiny grandchildren, and two even tinier Teddy Bear dogs. Not to mention a whole lot of dust!

A great one for my amnesia fix. This story was very different from almost anything I've read before, although it did have some similarities to a book I read 30 years or so ago. Still very different and kept you frantically turning pages. Maybe it wasn't very realistic but come on, that's not why I read category romances!

The writing was very good. The story was full of drama and angst. The characters were wonderful. It was told almost entirely from the hero's POV. He was not an ass but he did some questionable things which he then worried over. She was sweet and charming. The magical Inferno that the men of the family had when they found their soul mates was at first a bit hard to believe in but I just went with it. It wasn't a huge part of the plot but was eventually an interesting twist.

I won't go farther into the plot, since I don't want to spoil it, I'll just say if you like amnesia stories, this one is great. I'm going to try another by this author and if it's as good as this one, I'll have a new author to add to my favorites.

After Caitlyn finds some documents that indicate that the Dante's may not be the only owners of the mine that has their famous Fire Diamonds. Now Nicholo will do anything to get to the truth and keep this from affecting his family. Even if he has to lie to everyone on the way.

Kiley O'Dell is the descendant of the supposedly rightful owner of the other half of the mine. But Nicholo doesn't believe this to be true and goes to meet Kiley and confront her. But as soon as he meets her the Inferno hits. He will do everything to stop the feelings it brings, for he doesn't believe the Inferno is real, as he doesn't believe that Kiley is telling the truth.

After meeting with Nicholo, Kiley is leaving the hotel and seems on a rush. She thinks that Nicholo has already left, but as she is leaving she feels him and when she turns she sees him still there. She runs out of the hotel and is then ran over by a cab. Nicholo feeling guilt and still trying to find out the truth pretends that they are married. After the hit Kiley looses her memory and believes everything that Nicholo says, for he inferno gives her a connection to him that helps her believe everything he says.

But will Kiley regain her memories? Will she be able to forgive Nicholo for his deception and lies? And is she really a rightful part owner of the mine or is she a liar like he believes she is? You have to read it to find out. :)

Dante ailesinde sorun giderici olarak nam salan Nicolo sıra kendi sorununa gelince performansında bir azalma olmadı değil.Bu sorunun adı ise canlı kanlı , kızıl afet Kiley'dir..
Dünyada sadece Dantelere ait olan bir elmas çeşidi vardır ve Kiley'de bazı durumlar sonucu bu madene ortak olduğunu düşünmektedir...
Nicolo ise bu sorunu halledebilmek için Kiley'le buluşmuş ve o hiç inanamadığı İnfernonun ilk etkileşimini tensel olmasada yaşamıştır.Bu görüşme biraz pürüzlüde olsa sonuç olarak sona ermiş ve Nicolo görüşmenin olduğu oteli terk etmek üzere lobiye inmiştir.Ama içindeki bir his nedeniyle son anda gizlenmiş ve Kiley'in dışarı çıkmasını beklemiştir.
Kiley ise otelden çıkarken Nicolo'yu görmeden hissetmiş ve dikkati dağıldığı için bir kaza geçirmiştir...
Kendisini hastanede bulan Kiley hiç birşey hatırlamamaktadır.Kendisini kocası olarak tanıtan Nicolo'ya inanmak istesede, birşeylerin yanlış olduğunu düşünmektedir.
Acaba Kiley o eksik, sözlere dökülmemiş olan şeyi hatırlayabilecek midir?
Peki Nicolo Dante'nin Evlilik Oyunu'nun sonucu ne olacaktır?
Tüm soruların cevabı kitapta saklı o.O
Okuyun derim :)

Öncelikle özgün konusu ve tam kıvamnda olan anlatmyla bir beyaz dizi için mükemmeldi...
3 kitaptır birbrine benzer ögeler varki göz yumamayacak kadar belirgin;
3 kitaptır yani bi kardeşte dalaveresiz evlensin :D hepsinin evlilikleride böyle sırlar yalanlar üzerine mi kurulur düşündürücü olsada sıkılmadan eğlenerek okuduğum kitaplardı.
Öneririm ama okumasanız da pek birşey kaybetmezsiniz,sonuçta bir beyaz dizi...

Wow, this is an interesting premise with the leading lady being a con artist. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Nicolo being torn between his struggle with his desires, his suspicions that he is being conned and yet falling in love anyway. Readers will get more enjoyment from this book if they have read the previous two books in the series.

Didn't like it, I really didn't like that heroine was such an awful person before her amnesia and did not like the whole Dantes inferno aspect either. P.

hmm ceritanya menarik, cewenya ilang ingatan
so cewenya ga ingat kalo sebenarnya dia blm married ama nicolo
trus nih cewe sblm ilang ingatan itu profesinya sebagai pemeras,
tp krn ingatan dia ga balik-balik dia jadi beda personality gitu

dia tadinya ga mau married ama nicolo krn dia nemu bukti bahwa dirinya yang sebenarnya adalah seorang penipu, dia ga mau kalo ingatan dia balik malah bakal mencelakai nicolo dan keluarganya, tp nicolo berhasil membujuk buat married,

endingnya ingatan cewenya balik bertahun-tahun kemudian stlh dia dan nicolo punya 4 anak dengan perkawinan yang bahagia.

hmm, gw suka krn romantis, bayangin aja nicolo mau nerima nih cewe apa adanya meski nih cewe dulunya pemeras dan penipu gitu.
sip deh

Nothing could keep Nicol? Dante from uncovering the truth about Kiley O'Dell. He knew she had to be a liar, but the moment he set eyes on the beauty, his soul was scorched by the once-in-a-lifetime heat of The Dante Inferno. Then a sudden accident stole her memory, and he seized the chance to learn all her deepest secrets-- by pretending to be her husband. But the longer he kept up the dangerous masquerade, the clearer it became that whoever this woman was--whatever she was--he couldn't rest until he made her truly his own....

What I liked about this story was it is one of "second chances." Everyone has known some sort of heartache, and this book shows how coming through the darkness with resolve can lead to happiness.

The Dante clan has brought me hours of pleasurable reading. That being said, this was not my favorite book in the series. Kiley's past was problematic for me. I think I was rooting for Nicol to find the same type of woman as did his brothers.

D1880 Jul08 Dante's Legacy #3 Nicole Dante knew Kiley O'Dell was a liar and he would uncover the truth. Big problem is that she is his "Dante Inferno" bride match. She is hit by a car and has no memory, he steps in and tells her and the hospital she is is wife. The longer this masquerade goes on, he knows she is the one! One of her "cons" finds her and she leaves, still no memory of her past. Nicole realizes that she has not recovered her memory and he searches for her until he finds her. 20 yrs later and 4 boys, she remembers, after a fall,

OK, I got sucked into this series about a group of brothers who are hit with the "Dante Inferno" (see my earlier reviews for back story) when they meet their heartmate.

This is my least enjoyed of the series so far, and I believe there's only one more brother to go! The passion was hot, but the story was quite unbelievable, even for Harlequin. Amnesia. Enough said.

If you've been reading the series, you'll want to read this one. If you haven't, don't.

Compared to the first two books in the series to spook was really disappointing.

No sentí amor entre los protagonistas, parecía todo forzado y esta historia es la que menos me gusto de los cuatro hermanos, encima se me hizo difícil terminar de leerlo.
