Caray, Caray!

I think we are down TWO bloggers for this upcoming telenovela, which stars Eduardo Yañez, our hero from Destilando Amor as well as DUHmilio, the wooden love interest from Duelo, and Marcia from La Fea, and I think I caught a glimpse of the ultra-odious Niurka wearing red gingham heart-shaped pasties. Should be a real old-school snorter, the kind we love to hate (see above). Interested? Email me, Melinama the blog mom

Translated from Esmas.com:

Standing before the tomb of Libia Reyes, her three brothers swear to avenge her death. Full of rancor, Juan, Oscar and Franco head to the hacienda of Bernardo Elizondo, the man who seduced their sister and knocked her up. Bernardo really loved Libia and was thinking of divorcing his despotic and tyrannical wife Gabriela - however, he died in a strange accident and his hacienda remains in the hands of Gabriela and her son-in-law Fernando.

When the Reyes brothers arrive at the hacienda, they get jobs as bricklayers and carpenters. Blinded by their hatred of the Elizondo family, they decide to seduce and then abandon the three daughters of Bernardo and Gabriela, so that they will suffer the same misery as Libia did before she died. Juan will seduce Sofía, Oscar Jimena, and Franco will seduce Sarita.

During this time, they are discovering it isn't easy for them to follow through with their oath. The three daughters are being crushed under the tyranny of their mother, who does not respect their liberty or individuality.

Juan discovers that Sofia is a sensitive and charitable woman tormented by having been violated, and that she is unhappily married to Fernando, a violent man she doesn't love. Juan truly falls in love with her, and thus it is that Sofia is able for the first time to touch a man without feeling the disgust her terrible experience left her with. Sofia and Juan's relationship will be in danger not just from his oath, or from Fernando, but also from the arrival of Ruth Uribe, who takes a fancy to Juan and tries to conquer him at any cost.

Oscar will find Jimena to be the woman he has always dreamed of. She is easy-going and uninhibited, a girl who wants to live life intensely. Their relationship is full of sensuality and mischief. They can't avoid falling in love, which torments Oscar because he must decide between love and vengeance.

Franco and Sarita will discover they are twin souls. Both are sensitive, lovers of discussion (amantes de la lectura?), ingenuous; together they will live a tender romance full of unforeseen turns, but Franco will be tortured by indecision. Before meeting Sarita, he had been in love with Rosario Montes, a singer who works in one of the pueblo's bars. He is suffering because Rosario rejected him and is unaware that she actually loves him, but is darkly bound to Fernando, who has sworn to kill anyone who comes near her. Franco will follow one of two roads: he will love Rosario and fulfill his oath, or he will break his oath and love Sarita.

This is a story full of intense emotions, sublime love, insatiable ambition and blood-curdling hatred. Young, passionate hearts, united and separated by the same tragedy. Hidden truths, lies which cloud the mind, passions which dominate the soul ... and Fire in the Blood.
