A Review by Mary Middleton
Think of everything you love about a Mills and Boon and you will find it in The Proud Wife. Kate Walker skilfully creates the sexual tension, mental anguish and tangled emotion that makes a novel sizzle.
Aside from the convincing backdrops and accomplished narrative, Pietro and Marina emerge as free standing, fully developed characters with all the flaws, confusion and complexities of real human beings. The reader is dragged into their world to share their torment and it is impossible to put the book down until their trials are resolved.
It is no surprise that Kate is one of the more successful authors of this genre. She understands people and the barriers that can keep us from achieving personal fulfilment. Because she knows exactly what makes her characters tick they come alive on the page and the reader is personally involved with their happiness and craves the resolution as deeply as they do.
Marina is a fully rounded woman, no swooning, no soppy weaknesses; she emerges as a strong, modern, convincing woman who stands on her own two feet. Pietro is troubled, with some skeletons in his cupboard but he is essentially a good, fair minded man (aside from being stupendously good looking) and as such, is the type of man we can all fall in love with.
When you open The Proud Wife you will become involved in Marina and Pietro’s journey and can expect vivid scenery, sizzling sex scenes and heart wrenching dark moments but you can be safe in the knowledge that it will all come right it the end.
The Proud Wife is a romance that sparkles.
