reviewed De LA Amistad Al Mor on March 04, 2019Re Two-Week Wife - Miranda Lee does unrequited love for ten years in this one. For an unusual twist, she makes the formerly geeky H the lover and the flittery, impulsive h the love.
There is some backstory to this one. The h and H met at nursery school, the H was five and the h was four and the h is the one who comforts the H when he is scared on his first day in a strange place.
(The h's mum taught there and had brought her to the place before, so our h knew where the bathrooms were, which is really important when you are a scared little kid.)
It was love at first sight for the H and the two of them grew up together, BFF's always. Then the h overheard some boys mocking the H for being a virgin at 18 and the decided to 'sacrifice' her virginity to the H.
The h manipulated things so that the H thought he was 'sacrificing' his virginity to rescue her and since neither one had access to google or manuals, the whole experience was an EPIC fail. It took years for both of them to find a better partner and by that time, the h had firmly friend zoned the H.
Even when he bought her red roses and tried to make a romance go of it with the h when he was 21, the h was not willing to go down a wrong road again. But that did not mean the h avoided or distanced herself from the H.
In fact, the h knew the H was still in love with her, because his sister told her the H was, and she used that love to manipulate the H.
Over the years the h has gotten the H to loan her money, tho she does eventually pay him back, share his flat with her in between her frequent travels on backpacking trips around the world and basically keep a light on for her emotional support when life's bumps occur or when she returns to Australia to get a job for a few months to finance her next traveling session.
The h also spends a lot of time at the gym and seems to like the tall muscle bound type as a lover, tho she later claims she hasn't had many of them. The H is not a hulk of a man, but he works out and has filled out nicely from the time he was a geeky teenager. He also has a secret life.
By day the H is a maths professor, by night he is an Italian Suited Gambler who has managed to put a nice amount of money away and now owns a luxury penthouse, in addition to his regular flat, that he makes a great profit on when he leases it out to vising businessmen.
The H has also been widely sampling the tall, blonde lovely lady buffet and his skillz have improved considerably. It has been ten years since the h's last romantic rejection and the h has breezed back into the H's life to ask a huge favor.
The h's mother had cancer prior to the story start. The h's mother always liked the H, so the h lied and sent some pictures of the H and h together at his sisters wedding and then the h told her mother that she and the H were married.
Now the h's mum is coming to visit, thankfully cancer free, and the h expects the H to jump to her bidding and be her pretend husband for two weeks.
But the H has finally has enough, he refuses the h's pretty callous request and we get a three page h diatribe about "How DARE the H deny her anything she wants him to do."
We also get lots of h thoughts about how she really isn't attracted to the H, but he should still just worship at her altar from afar and avoid everyone else-especially the tall blonde lovely lady antithesis of her own small and dark self.
This h has the usual HP H dog in the manger attitude towards this H- she doesn't want him, but she doesn't want anybody else to have him either.
When the H refuses, the h goes into super pouty mode. Then the H decides he is going to have his own inner ranty moment back. He tells the h that he is actually engaged to someone else and the h has no right to try to break that up.
The h throws a huge tantrum, so the H tells the h that her mother can stay at his flat, but he will be gone for the next two weeks and she can figure out a way to tell her mother the truth.
As this is campy ML and this is HPlandia, it doesn't work that way.
The h's mum arrives early, just in time to see the H and a very lovely blonde actress walking into a movie screening on TV. The h takes her mum's obvious shock, (and her mum's history of having the h's father cheat on her,) to bad mouth the H and claim that the marriage isn't working out.
Then the H shows up to collect some things, he wasn't aware that the h's mum arrived early. So there is a huge verbal tussle and both the H and the h accuse each other of cheating and the h's mum tells them to grow up.
Then the H seizes his opportunity and tells the h's mum that they are going to work things out. The H has decided that if he can't have the h's love, he will have her body and he tells the h that price of his time for two weeks is lots of sex.
Cue up the ML patented bathroom, bedroom and any room boudoir moments in all their purple passion glory. The h is overwhelmed with the treacherous body syndrome, but in all the excitement and purple haze, they forget to use the proper protection.
(We all know where this is going, but I am going to leave you hanging for a few paragraphs.)
The H decides that being an Alpha Jerk is wining the h over more than him being nice, so he embarks on a bossy campaign of tarting the h up in designer outfits to flash her about and being very demanding on the lurve club side of things.
This tarty dressing sans proper foundational garments, (ML h's never wear bra's,) and the accompanying accouterments lead to extreme jealousy on both sides.
The H is upset because all these men are drooling over the h, while the h is upset because she doesn't feel comfortable in the brief amounts of strategically placed clothing and she thinks this is what the H likes most - only on a taller, bigger boobed, blonder woman.
The mad jealous bits fuel their passions, they rescue a very cute dog and eventually the h's mum goes home. But the h and H agree to keep the love train rolling and more misunderstandings ensue. The h turns out to be preggers and she hides it from the H.
The H sees another man bring the h back to their flat and he doesn't leave for awhile and the H decides his abused heart has had enough - because tho both of them have declared their deep love for each other, neither of them believes the other.
The H gets ready to kick the h off for good and then she reveals the bun in the oven. She explains that the OM was at the gym when she fainted and he helped her home and then waited around while she confirmed her thoughts with a failed EPT Test.
Then the h goes all out to do a full seduction of the H and insists that she has never done that before. The H says he believes the h loves him now and he proposes, but the h makes him wait.
She doesn't say no to the H buying a house, tho originally she only wanted him to buy a house so she would have a place to leave her rescue dog while she traveled.
We get a little epilogue where the H and h are faking a marital vowel renewal ceremony. They have an 18 month old son, a cute white dog and the h's mum breathes a sigh of relief that the two of them finally got married - the h has let on that there is another grandchild on the way.
I think ML was going for light and fluffy and funny and all I could see was the incredibly user behavior of the h. She was the epitome of HP evil OW and I thought the H deserved a lot better. Plus the h lied, A LOT and at times, the H wasn't much better.
(I think the h really was a Tart, but not because she had had other relationships. Her treatment and thoughts of the H for ten years was the epitome of abusive and I really did not like that she only responded with some courtesy and kindness when he finally lost it and started to treat her like dirt. )
There are some funny parts tho and the dog rescue was great, so if you like the lighter side of ML and aren't as old and cranky as I am, this might not be a terrible HPlandia outing.
