"I love that Ms. Porter always writes strong males who are softies where their families and the women they love are concerned. Lon is definitely one of those men and then some.

"The sexual tension between Lon and Sophie could be felt from the moment I cracked open The Spaniard's Passion and started reading the prologue.  I've only come across a handful of Harlequin Presents authors who are consistently able to deliver compelling must-read romances. Jane Porter is one of them. Original and well plotted with two larger than life characters, The Spaniard's Passion sparkles with undeniable brilliance. It's a true deep-sigh book."

» "The Spaniard's Passion, Jane Porter's fourth entry in the Galvan Brides series, is an exciting ride into the South American jungle, filled with many twists, turns, and surprises. The characters are passionate and believable. Quite simply, The Spaniard's Passion is a wonderful book that you will not be able to put down until the very last page is finished."

» "Sophie is still terrified of the intense feelings she has for Lon, even after years apart. She knows that she must ... escape Lon before he makes her lose control...

"Heated, explosive and intense is Jane Porter's latest tale, The Spaniard's Passion. Lon is an Alpha male who can work one up to frustration with his stubbornness and make one burn with his sensuality. Sophie learns so much about herself in this tale. She learns that it is okay to lose control sometimes, she discovers her own needs and desires and learns to grab happiness when she finds it. Ms. Porter does a wonderful job of keeping the reader on the edge of their seat, biting their nails and yelling at Sophie to take what is right in front of her...her perfect soulmate. This tale literally takes one's breath away with a roller-coaster of emotions, danger, intrigue and the bonds of love and family. Jane Porter is an author to read when looking for action and adventure, sensual characters, an Alpha male who is sexy as sin and for love that transcends time. The Spaniard's Passion is definitely a must read."

» "Sophie is the perfect heroine for Lon even though she has been fighting her attraction for the man ever since she first met him. She is so afraid of losing control. It is such fun to watch these two spar -- the sparks fly sky high.

"Porter's trademark alpha male characters are strong, capable, intelligent, and well... alpha with a capital "A". They take your breath away. The Spaniard's Passion is a rich, passionate, emotional read that deals with more than just the usual romantic love. "

» "Sophie, Clive and Alonso were the best of friends until Sophie had to choose between them. Scared of Alonso's intensity and feelings, Sophie chose Clive and the tranquility of his affection. Years later, Sophie is widowed, and Alonso comes back to England to reclaim the woman who has always been destined to be his. But before Sophie can do anything, she is determined to go to Brazil to discover the secrets of her husband's death. But what she discovers is more than she wants to know. The Spaniard's Passion (4) by Jane Porter is an intense read that blends action, adventure, romance and passion into a well-crafted story. Alonso is arrogant, sexy as hell and protective. He's a perfect alpha hero -- nothing will get between him and his woman again."

»"If you've been holding out for the perfect hero, the wait is over. I found him in The Spaniard's Passion by Jane Porter. Alonso Galvan represents everything I love about men. He has gone to hell and back for his woman and I know he would do it again without hesitation. I am just as mesmerized by his fierce emotions as the heroine Sophie is. Although I've been reading romances for over twenty years, The Spaniard's Passion is now the standard for what I expect and need in a love story."
