A Deal for the Di Sione Ring by Jennifer Hayward – Review & Giveaway

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / BAM / Book Depository

Description:
“Marry me, sell me the ring and I will fly you out of here tonight.”  

Hotel magnate Nate Brunswick’s faith in marriage was destroyed by his father. But in searching for the ring that his beloved grandfather has asked him to retrieve, the illegitimate Di Sione who hates weddings finds himself inconveniently engaged!  

The alluring owner of the ring, Mina Mastraintino, can only pass it on once she’s married. Quick vows and an even quicker annulment should be easy…but the exquisite impromptu wedding night gives them both far more than they planned! 

Review:

A Deal for the Di Sione Ring begins with Nate Brunswick visiting with his grandfather, who is holding on to life as he makes a request of Nate:  find the Di Sione ring, which he had to part with long ago.  Even though Nate has more important things to do, he agrees to search out the ring.  He flies out once he gets a lead on the ring, only to have a  chance encounter with an intriguing maid at the hotel he’s staying in.   Of course, he is immediately struck by her exotic looks, and has a bit of fun with her, but ultimately sends her on her way.

Mina leaves the hotel flustered by her encounter with the handsome billionaire.  She has to get ready for dinner with her fiancé, which is something that she is not looking forward to.  She does not want to marry him, but he is wealthy and powerful, which is why her mother has arranged said marriage.  Mina continually tells herself that she has to do this in order to help her mother, who lives way beyond her means, even though she will be trapped in a loveless marriage.  To say dinner does not go well is a gross understatement.  The next day, Mina prepares for her wedding, even though she’s told her mother this is not what she wants.  As everyone leaves Mina to await the carriage that will take her to her wedding, the doorbell rings.  She opens the door to find the handsome Nate Brunswick standing there….shocked.  Once Nate discovers that she holds the Di Sione ring and she is about to marry a man whom she does not love, he makes her an offer she can’t refuse.  What follows is a whirlwind of activities that ultimately saves Mina from a fate not of her own choosing, and thrusts her into the business world that she’s always wanted to be a part of.  For Nate, it’s a means to an end.  However, neither are prepared for feelings that flair, all in the name of the deal for the Di Sione ring….

A Deal for the Di Sione Ring is a wonderfully written tale about two characters that draw you in immediately.  Even though Mina is a bit naïve, the reader will feel for her and her predicament.  It’s obvious very early on that Nate is a bit broken, but when they come together sparks fly and their chemistry is palpable.  This is the first I’ve read of this series, but have already bought the previous six so that I can read the Di Sione  back stories.  Each book in this series has been written by a different author, which in my humble opinion, is no easy feat.  The characters are intriguing, as is the storyline.  Of course, Jennifer Hayward is the reason I read this installment, but she has introduced me to a world that I definitely want to know more about.  If you’re a fan of romance, you’ll find this one to your liking.  If you’re a fan of romance written Jennifer Hayward’s way, you’ll love it!  Well done, Jennifer Hayward!  Very well done!
