Customer Reviews

Good & meaty!

The story is about a temp employee who's been idolizing attractive hero since he made her dying sister's wish come true 9 yrs ago and has immediate affair with him. But she didn't know that he was engaged to be married to another, even though it's a marriage based on convenience & not passion. She leaves him after she finds out about his deceit & finds herself pregnant. She calls him for support 4 months later when she found that she had medical issues from her pregnancy that prevents her from working & supporting herself & their unborn baby. Lynne Graham does not disappoint. This book is well-written & well-paced. For a short novel, this book has remarkable depth. The characters are flawed & the story unfolds how they work out their mistakes. Sexual chemistry & sensuality kept me glued til the end! Highly recommended.

loved it!

I loved this book! Harlequin's are usually so serious but this one made me laugh out loud. I liked being able to see what the hero was thinking and these were some of the most humorous passages. He had to learn to be a loving partner since his privileged background hadn't prepared him to relate to a normal woman like Maddie. She was also a great character. She learned how to handle him but at the same time he taught her to appreciate and love herself just the way she was.

Excellent book. Love the hero and heroine. Why is it most men have a a problem expressing feelings of love. Is it a macho things or something. The Petrakos Bride (Harlequin Presents)

Cinderella meets jaded 'Prince'

This was a quick paced emotional scorcher. Even though I agree with the other reviewer that Giannis was a bit of an insensitive jerk, the heroine Maddie was not afraid to tell him so. What I liked about Giannis, was that he was so focused on Maddie throughout the whole book and we saw his emotional evolution. I've been looking for books/authors that remind me of Lucy Monroe's works and this one fits the bill for me.
