A Savage Beauty
Emma Seaton was comfortably if unexcitingly engaged to Victor Harrison; he was a wealthy business tycoon, and Emma could look forward to a life of ease and luxury with him -- but was that all she wanted from life?
She became even more aware of her doubts about Victor when she met the disturbing Miguel Salvaje, who made no secret of his attraction to her, and Emma soon admitted to herself that she in turn was attracted to him. The situation grew even more intense when Miguel virtually blackmailed her into marrying him instead of Victor and bore her off to his home in Mexico.
The tense situation between them might have resolved itself happily, however, had Emma not discovered that she was expected to share her home with a third person -- someone even more overpowering than Miguel himself.

Ridiculous crap !
Anne Mather writes some convoluted stuff , some outrageous stuff and occasionally some good stuff. But this one is absolute nonsense.
She plans to marry a guy who is her father's age for no particular reason. But she marries a crazy Mexican instead. Why ! He kissed her and bullied her elderly fiance and that guy broke his arm ! So she fell in love !!
Then the crazy Mexican brings her to Mexico to meet his even crazier family. And he promptly vanishes leaving her alone with his family. But finally he comes back and declares his undying love !
Ta da ! The end. Stay away from this book, readers.

Another one for my quest to read the first 100 HPs. This one is numbered 49 and originally came out in 1973. There was uncomfortable smoking, my how things have changed, and crazy motivations all around. The hero was pretty much a nonentity. He forces her into marriage and then ignores her for 3 weeks. The heroine spent more time with the hero’s manager. All in all not much of a romance. Meh.

The book was intense and pretty great by all standards but the ending kind of ticked me off. I wanted to see Carmen and Carlos get their sort of deal. The hero was kind of a misunderstood dick, as most artists are now a days. The heroine had great morals and backbone, although her father wasn't too involved which was kind of a shame. The drama was good though.
