Final Book in the Ramirez Series

Jake Ramirez finds out that his real father was not some young soldier heroically killed in a war like his mother told him, but was in fact a rich playboy, Enrique Ramirez. Now in his will, his real father informs him that he has two half brothers and that in order to meet them, he must travel to Brazil and take his ward, Catarina "Cat" from the convent she has lived in until her 21st birthday and find her a suitable Brazilian within 2 months. After he has completed this mission, he will be given his brother's identity. Jake is stunned to find his new ward, Cat to be a beautiful if naive young woman. Soon he is fighting feelings for Cat because he knows he has to find her a husband, the trouble is he wants to be that husband. Sheltered Cat longs for her independence, she wants Jake to teach her the secrets of sex so that she can use it to gain her independence, the trouble is she wants it to be real.

This was a nice book, but so much seemed unreal. In this day and age it is hard to believe that a woman would be kept in a convent that long against her wishes and be that naive even if it is in South America. Also, I kind of wished more time would have been devoted to the end for the brothers to interact instead of a couple of pages....otherwise nice story.

quite perfect : )

Because it`s a little different than below I write the back cover text also: She`s young, innocent and rich...Catarina Mendes, at twenty-one, is finally free and independent woman. However, it`s freedom at a price...
Bound to a stranger...Jake Ramirez has become guardian to Cat. He must protect her from unscrupulous men and find her a husband. By her most precious gift! Jake is overwhelmed by Cat`s beauty, but she`s still a virgin. Can he resist bedding her-before he finds her a suitable husband...? *The Ramirez Brides-serie...three half brothers, on opposite sides of the globe: each must find a bride, to find each other...*

A delicious read .............

The Ramirez Brides Trilogy
Brazilian polo player, Enrique Ramirez had sown a lot of oats in his youth. Traveling with the team around the world put the charismatic Enrique in the company of many exotic women. Now years later, three couriers deliver three messages to three men. One in Australia, one in England and one in America. Until this moment these men did not know the others existed. They are half brothers and if they wish to know each other they must follow their father's demands or all will be forfeit.

The Disobedient Virgin by Sandra Marton
Harlequin Presents # 2499 - November 2005

Jake has grown up believing his father had died a hero. Now he discovers that his father was a wealthy Brazilian. He's intrigued with the knowledge that he has two half brothers and finds himself traveling to Rio de Janeiro to fulfill his task. Catarina has now turned 21. Orphaned as a girl, she lived her life in a convent school. To receive her inheritance she must marry a man of her guardian's choosing. With Jake's father's death, his role of guardian passed on to Jake. Now Catarina must bow to Jake's decision of the man she will marry.

Ms. Marton's heroes are most definitely alpha, and Jake fits that bill. Catarina is naïve to the ways of the world, but she is not a silly girl. She has spirit and some ideas of her own. The sparks fly from their first meeting. It was delicious reading how Catarina slips into Jake's heart. The final scenes that tie up this trilogy are also very well done.

The Ramirez Brides trilogy..
The Ramirez Bride by Emma Darcy - HP-2487 - September 2005
The Brazilian's Blackmailed Bride by Michelle Reid - HP-2493 - October 2005
The Disobedient Virgin by Sandra Marton - HP-2499 - November 2005

All three brothers do fulfill their father's demands. And in the doing discover that their father may have known them very well indeed. These three very talented authors brought to life three dynamic men who share the same blood. I enjoyed very much reading their journeys of self-discovery and their HEAs.

Cute Story by Marton

Though her skills for romance have definitely faded with her latest 2007 batch of books, Marton is on point here in the final installment of The Ramirez Brides series.

That the male lead, Jake, is relatively well-adjusted is a breath of fresh air. He's clever, but not without a sense of humor, strong and stubborn but not the overdone "Alpha Male". Though he dates beautiful women he is not the typical playboy so wary of the grasping gold-diggers of the world.

The female counterpart is naive and stubborn due to being raised in a convent- that being said, it is surprising how quickly she and Jake fall into bed together but then again this is Harlequin!

Not a bad book, in fact it is one of my favorites.
