Review # 1 was written on 2018-06-23 00:00:00 Desiree Ford Some great angst, but this revenge story really didn't need the extra 100 pages to be told. The H/h were engaged five years before. The heroine's evil step-sister convinced the heroine he was cheating with her and the heroine broke off the engagement without explaining why. The next day the hero was arrested for theft/fraud/accounting errors at the heroine's father's company. The hero went to jail and in his mind he equated his jilting with the false charges, thinking the heroine was in on it, even though the heroine's father always treated her like dirt. The company where the hero worked was full of relatives so anyone of them could have set him up. LG adds in the wrinkle that the hero loaned the heroine's maternal grandparents money so they could continue to live in the family castle/hovel in Ireland. They haven't paid anything toward the loan for four years, so the hero will be able to evict them and take over the castle as revenge. The heroine has been living with them and trying to make the castle profitable. She's also still a virgin and genuinely thought the hero had betrayed her with her step-sister and was a thief. She never really gets over the mistrust (that comes from her poor self-esteem) and that's where it started to get tedious. The hero had every right to be angry at her and her family, since there was a serious miscarriage of justice done. But the heroine hangs on to the baddie relative until the bitter end - just because? I saw no redeeming value in their relationship, so the heroine's black moment was foolish in the extreme and knocked a star off the rating. The heroine's relationship with the sisters from the Harlequin series never really jelled. They do a lot of talking on the phone, but the reader doesn't see any of that on the page. There were some threads that trailed off into nothing - the stepsister really doesn't get much of a comeuppance. The PA was a potential OW and then? Same with the Italian model. So tighter editing would have helped keep up the high emotions, I think. Still, it was an enjoyable story. Hero was celibate during their entire separation. The OWs were all red herrings and the hero never really even thought about them.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-05 00:00:00 Christine Nelson There's so much going on from things I loved to things I hated and all the in-between. Had I been in Luciano's place blood wouldn't have been enough, so for him being an HP alpha-hero he wasn't as ass-hole/jerk/bastard as others I've read, even though he had really good reasons to be so. On the contrary, I think he was too nice for man set on revenge. I'm not sure if I liked Kerry's character because her complete distrust in the man she supposedly loved left a bad taste for me. I understood her insecurities, I mean of all the women in the world he had to sleep with Rochelle the evil step sister (even though he hadn't met the h yet and he was drunk, he did spend a weekend with Rochelle), then the working together and Rochelle devious flirting, yes I'm sure it can get on your nerves and then the supposed infidelity. BUT it wasn't excuse enough for her not communicating at all with him after the arrest, specially with the loan and all that going on. The crazy grandparents and crying ghost were nice touches. I adored the interfering sisters and the consequent animosity the H had for them. I also would have liked Kerry to get interested in her true father, maybe she had more siblings or a super rich daddy. Also, what with Constanza? At first it sounded like she had the hots for Luciano, then sounded like a spurned lover but in the and like a mother hen. Jummm.
