Sizzling, Passionate, - Kate Walker's 50th Book - By: Marilyn Shoemaker, 28 May 2007 
This is Kate's 50th book & oh what a book! It's a very powerful & passionate love story with another of Kate's "hot" Italian men & this time it's Vito! THE SICILIAN'S RED-HOT REVENGE exemplifies a Harlequin Presents book at its very best! Vito is drop dead gorgeous, spirited, stubborn at times, & very passionate. And when he's angry, well watch out!
As you learned in Sicilian Husband, Blackmailed Bride, Guido has a brother Vito & they are in business together. For years they worked non-stop & promised each other on their 30th birthday they would take a year off & this is Vito's year. As he comes from a shipbuilding family, his passion is carving; so he rents a flat near the shore in England. In this same book, you also learn that at a wedding a woman faints & of course this is one introduction in meeting Emily.
On one very particular day Vito is out walking & sees a beautiful Englishwoman on the beach & is immediately captivated by her & while watching her from afar, he realizes she is in danger of drowning in the ocean & he comes to her rescue. Their attraction is immediate & Vito insists that Emily accompany him back to his flat to get warmed up & out of her wet clothes. After a short kiss on the beach, Emily realizes she is in trouble, but in the end goes home with Vito.
Of course, any hot blooded Italian who is so desperately attracted to a woman like Emily...not just her simple beauty but her spirit & the passion he sees in her eyes can't control himself. Once they come together alll is lost for them both. However, the tables are turned when Vito retrieves Emily's personal belongings & answers her cell. There he finds out that she is married & anger doesn't even describe his emotions. Emily flees back home & Vito returns to Italy. One evening while dining with his brother & sister in-law he learns that at the wedding his brother broke up there was a woman who fainted & her name was Emily Lawton. Vito is shocked & reacts quickly, flying to England & to Emily.
Vito & Emily's reuniting was very painful for me to read. It so depicts how miscommunication or lack of it can destroy a relationship. Honesty finallly prevails, a lesson we can alll learn & their passion, longing & yearning will take your breath away.
Congratulations to Kate Walker on this 50th book. However, I would personallly like to say, thank you to Kate for the wonderful hours of reading you have personallly provided this reader & please keep those books coming! Perhaps we can find another Corsentino sibling out there so we can see how Vito & Guido are doing?
