Review # 1 was written on 2017-10-28 00:00:00 Thomas Buckley Train wreck. This lived down to other GR reviewers 1 and 2 star reviews which, of course, is why I had to read it. It was still kind of fun in Reid�s relentless pursuit of OTT RomanceLand bad behavior and tropey cliches. Love the title, just the one eye? Reid couldn't spare an extra eye for Eyes of Heaven? Let�s count the cliches, shall we? Teddy, the effeminate, but surprisingly effective agent straight out of Brideshead Revisited: The Sacred and Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder. He actually punches out the Harvey Weinstein character who tries to rape the heroine on a casting couch. I really wonder if HW read this book as he seemed to steal his moves right from the sleazy producer�s playbook. Teddy to the h �Let the nice Alec Stedman take his pretty pics , then you can go home and soak in your hot tub-and forget about the lot of us for a whole month! Think of it,' he trilled. 'One teeny weeny hour of nice Jessie smiles and the pretty pics will be taken-click, click, click! Otherwise, sweetie,' he added slyly, 'you will only have to turn out tomorrow to do the session.' Teddy �Tall, with a sylph-like slimness, he was a man who used every trick known to him to appear a rather vain and insignificant fool, which he was not. His suit was slate-grey and impeccable, his shirt, which was white and pure silk, open at the throat to show off the dark red silk cravat he was favouring today, complete with diamond pin. His shoes were grey and white spats, his brimmed hat an exact match to the pale grey coat he wore casually about his shoulders.� The heroine: The Silver Madonna who has a tongue made of acid when it counts as in when the idiot/hero dumps her for his equally cliche, voluptuous, evil but dark ex. The hero: tawny with YELLOW eyes aka Scut Farkus. He had yellow eyes. So help me God, yellow eyes! Auntie Vi: sweet, plump and a cookie baker that Teddy adores. The Plot: Silver Madonna actress and heroine and yellow eyed Scut Farkus photographer fall in lust and move in together with sweet Aunt Vi and Samson the dog living in a flat below. Evil ex slithers back to the H who loses ALL brain function and decides to marry her. No one is happy about it, not even the hero. The heroine actually reacts like a real human. And, lifting the statue high, face nothing but an ice cold mask, she turned and threw it deliberately through the window. There was the sound of glass shattering, and Jessica stood quite still, very calm, waiting to hear the missile land with a fatal clunk on the stone patio below. Luckily, Aunt Vi wasn�t outside at the time or else the hero would have something else to groan, gnash his teeth and lean against the wall with his arm over his eyes. Yep, he does all those things after he breaks the heroine's heart because, after all, it is ALL about him. Hero, heroine and BIL epic public scene: The h�s Greek BIL comes to London and he, the heroine and the H have it out in public. They men didn�t actually pee around the heroine�s table, but it came mighty close. Some sad stuff happens and the H wiggles his way back in. He�s still relatively brainless but has kicked his ex to the curb if you count buying her a store to own on another continent �kicking to the curb�. Yep, I enjoyed it for some campy fun and the heroine who lets the hero come back but at least she verbally annihilates, throws his present out the window, shuns him , humiliates him in public, and jumps off a yacht to escape him. Ah, love.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-05-17 00:00:00 Patricia Pinkston UGH!!!! Hero breaks up with heroine so he can re-marry his exwife??? UGGGG!!!, September 22, 2008 My thoughts: I hate the plot!!! Ok, I skimmed it because I hated what I reading! I just dont get it. Based on what I skimmed the storyline is that the heroine is a well known actress, the hero a photographer. They have a love affair and it was plastered on the papers since the heroine is famous. The hero's ex wife supposedly reads this and decides to interfere by telling the hero that her rich lover has refused to marry her because she can't have children thanks to an abortion that the hero feels was his fault whatever. So what does our bastard hero do? He tells the heroine I'm sorry, I have to break up with you because I feel responsible for my exwife! And guess what, i'm going to REMARRY MY EXWIFE!!! What the holy blazes??!!! When i saw that i was like holy hell, I hate this book. But of course, I can't leave it like that. I have to read/skim this damn book and find out what the hell? At first I was applauding the heroine. She seemingly had a strong backbone and refused to talk to the hero, etc. etc. But then somehow in a moment of weakness and tragedy, she calls out hero's name to her stage manager or something, stage manager calls the hero. And then later, the freakin hero just sort of kidnaps her and all is forgiven. HELL NO. As most Harlequins, the hero explains his reasoning at the end of the book, that he loves the heroine. When he told the heroine that he was breaking up with her and remarrying the ex, and hero saw heroine packing up all her belongings from the place, and making it as though she was never there, he was heartbroken and realised he actually REAALLLLY loved the heroine and wanted to make it up to her and be back with her, but because heroine publicly refused him, he realised she hasn't forgiven him yet blahh blah blah. Whatever. I could have forgiven the hero, but you know what the insult the stupid hero gives again???? So supposedly he tells the exwife that nevermind, i love the heroine, etc. etc. supposedly exwife is evil manipulative, etc. exwife then confesses that it was all a lie, exwife had sterilised herself when she had the abortion and her rich lover just dumped her, and she had nothing, no means of supporting herself whatever thats why she wanted to get back together with the hero. AND YOU KNOW WHAT STUPID HERO DOES???? He FREAKIN buys a high end botique for the exwife so she can support herself. WHAT THE HELL!!! He doesn't even make the exwife suffer!!! I HATE this book. The storyline was just F'd up. The hero was NOT a hero and heroine could have chosen some other guy. 0 stars.
