Alissa Scott loves her sister and is willing to do anything for her, even if it includes marrying for convenience instead of love.

Dario Parisi is willing to marry for different reasons. He wants his birthright back and wants it at any costs. He is even willing to marry an enemy to get back a decayed Sicilian estate that was stolen from his family.

Alissa’s and Dario’s family have been enemies after Allissa’s grandfather swindled Dario’s families estate. Her grandfather was ruthless and cruel not only in business but also in private. Allisa and her sister, Donna, lived with her grandfather after her mother died. Once she was grown and able to take care of her sister, they left. Dario wants his family’s estate back. When her grandfather died he left the land to her but the will states that she must be married for 6 months first. Once the 6 months are over they can divorce and sell the estate. No strings, just the way Alissa wants it. Dario wants his land back and is willing to blackmail her in order to get it. Alissa expects a marriage of convenience and nothing more while Dario wants it be as man and wife with all of the privileges. He may hate her but he isn’t blind. Can either of them last 6 months without killing each other or will they decide that marriage isn’t so bad after all as long as it is to each other?

Blackmailed Bride, Inexperienced Wife by Annie West was such a wonderful read. It had all of the right ingredients for a good quality story. You have two families that despise each other but need each other in order to get what they want. Dario is a sexy Italian business man but has a big and sensitive heart towards others. If you cross him, you better watch your back. Alissa is also strong and is willing to stand up for what she believes in. Family is everything to her and she will risk anything for them. Watching these two dance around each other was not only humorous but also frustrating. The sexual tension could literally be cut with a knife. Both have misconceptions of one another but the reality they find is so much better. I hated to see this book end but like all stories, it must have a conclusion.
