Had a lot of potential for angst and love but somehow just missed the mark for me. To much seemed to happen too soon I guess. I didn't like the hero very well and felt that his atrocious actions in the past were not adequately made up for. There was more story that fit neatly into the small HP format. ( )

"The Devil's Heart" by Lynn Raye Harris is about two wonderful and sympathetic lead characters who are both coming to terms with their difficult pasts--hers, a beating and a miscarriage due to a robbery at her store; his, as a kid growing up on the rough streets of Buenes Aires. The author gives us a hero and heroine that you can relate to and want to root for to get their well deserved happy ever after.

Some things I really liked about this book were:

The way the book started--with the heroine holding the hero at gunpoint! That’s different for a Harlequin Presents!

Francesca’s loyalty to her friend Jacques

A lovely epilogue!

If you are looking for a deeper and darker Harlequin Presents with very well defined characters and lots of emotion I recommend this book. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I really look forward to reading many more! ( )

I like the cut of the author's jib.

THE DEVIL's HEART by Lynn Raye Harris is the first Harlequin Presents, I came across in a long time which started with thrill and danger. It opened with the heroine pointing a gun at the hero.

Even though, it is a reconcilation story, the hero doesn't recognise the heroine. And yet the chemistry between them starts sizzling.

It has it's dark moments as the heroine underwent emotional and physical trauma and the hero had a deprived childhood which in turn toppled him into guerilla warfare, yet the characters are so well defined that you can't help but go along on their journey with them to find their HEA.

Lynn Raye Harris was a new to me author but I shall definitely be on the look-out for all her titles. ( )
