My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Marriage He Must Keep by Dani Collins, is the 1st book in her The Wrong Heirs Duet. The storyline is rather a unique one. Two babies who are swapped at birth – by mistake or planned? Thankfully both mothers know which baby belongs to whom!!!
Alessandro Ferrante had entered into a marriage of convenience with the sweet and endearing heiress Octavia, which had benefited both of them. But when Alessandro sends her to live alone in London, Octavia begins to feel lost and alone and pregnant. During her pregnancy, Alessandro never visits her and she’s left in the care of his aunt and cousin.
Octavia nearly dies giving birth and even worse, discovers that her baby son had been deviously swapped with another baby born at the same time, by a very wicked family member of Alessandro.
I loved Octavia. She was an endearing and very likeable character. Her growth and confidence from the shy and innocent person she had been to becoming a strong, take not sh….t from anyone….Alessandro and his family included.
Poor Alessandro!!! Yes, he’s sexy, rich…gorgeous…..he’s Italian…you know what I mean! But is he a sucker for punishment!! He takes his responsibilities seriously when it comes to family….but when someone he trusted betrays him, almost having him lose Octavia and his son……….! I did find the reasons he gave Octavia for sending her away a bit OTT!!!! But never mind……….he did have to work hard at getting her back…yes, a lot of groveling from him!!!
This is a story filled with family secrets, betrayals, lies….but also with emotions and love….. with the sweetest ending!!!! Octavia, Alessandro & the cute baby Lorenzo!!
Yes, Sorcha and baby Enrique’s story is nicely set up for the next book!!! Can’t wait!
