Review # 1 was written on 2018-09-28 00:00:00 Felix Leyser I was beyond furious. What did I just read? A piece of rubbish? I don't know what got into me to make me pick up this one. Guess I have only myself to blame� The story started off nicely, but alas, the more I read, the more I realized how awful the story was. It�s no wonder this one ended up being a complete failure. I should know better than to try to finish it. Well, perhaps I�m a glutton for punishment�Argh! Anyway, it wouldn�t be fair if I say that the whole story sucked. Actually, the first half of the book was fairly entertaining and I enjoyed the characters just fine, until halfway through it that things started to go downhill. Chrissy drove me crazy just about every time she opened her mouth to speak something. Not because of her stutter, but because of her attitude. I can�t stand a heroine with no backbone like her. There was nothing admirable in Chrissy. I didn�t understand what Blaze saw in her. Yeah, he felt so attracted to her; even so, he treated her like a doormat. And you think she was fine with that?? Hell, no! But you have to understand this� She had no money, no job, no friends (You�ve got to be kidding!), no one to turn to (actually, she still had a family�her father, sister, and brother-in-law), and no place to live. Plus, there was her baby sister whom she had to raise alone. See? She was absolutely worthless useless pathetic. So, what else could she do except to endure being Blaze�s doormat? I mean, seriously? Wasn�t it too far-fetched? Oh please, don�t insult my intelligence! Sorry, but I didn�t buy any of those! Well, about Blaze� At first, I thought he was kinda mysterious and a bit brooding, and that he might be my kind of hero (and I really hoped he would). But I was so wrong! He wasn�t the man I thought he was. In fact, he was a real jerk. What he had done to Chrissy after they were married was terrible, disgusting, and unacceptable. Gosh, I hated this man! I have to say that I got mad at everything that happened in the second half of the book. I was so upset with both main characters. And what made me see red, to the point that I wanted to punch Blaze in the face, was that he used Chrissy as his personal sexual outlet and then called her bitch. Yes, you didn�t read it wrong. He called her bitch! And what did she do? Nothing! And in the end, when he told her he loved her, she simply forgave him. She easily let that ass get away with it after what he had put her through? No groveling? No heartfelt apology? Seriously?! Actually, this man had to grovel on his belly to beg her for her forgiveness! Damn, I went mad! The first half of the book got 3 stars from me but the second half didn't deserve even one star! I wouldn�t recommend this to anyone.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-02-10 00:00:00 David Dunn Whew. This is a difficult one to rate. It�s an intense angsty read with lots of drama, but I don�t think the author got the balance right. There was too much Cinderella action at the beginning so that when the consequences of the heroine�s lies and the hero�s revenge finally occurred, there was only one chapter to deal with it all. To say the ending was rushed and unsatisfying is an understatement. The heroine�s lies were that her half-sister was her child (she let this lie of omission stand from the beginning) and that the hero was the child�s father � the product of a rape. The hero bonded with the child and he only found out the truth from the heroine�s sister minutes before the wedding. Cute stutter or no � the heroine was wrong, wrong, wrong to tell those lies and sustain them for weeks on end. The hero�s revenge was rape and sexual humiliation of a virgin on their wedding night for the next week. Good lord. I guess they deserve each other. And they�re going to tell more lies about the child so she�ll grow up thinking the hero is her father and the heroine is her mother until they see fit to inform her of her true identity. That won�t mess her up � not at all. I realize this review isn�t in chronological order, so I�ll take some questions. Why did the heroine lie about the child�s origins? Her mother left her lottery-winner father to marry a bigamist. She found herself pregnant at 45 about the same time the bigamist dad went to prison. After having the baby, she lost her will to live and the soft-hearted heroine dropped out of school to take care of her sister. She never filed for any child allowance because she wasn�t the legal guardian and she didn�t want her sister to go into care. How does the heroine know the hero? They were neighbours after her crass father won the lottery. Hero was the illegitimate son of the local gentry. Heroine�s sister chased him and made a spectacle of herself. Heroine thinks they were lovers for awhile. 17 year-old heroine took the drunk hero home the day of her sister�s rebound wedding (3 years before) and hero kissed her and then verbally abused her. This is the incident the hero can�t remember, so the heroine is able (later on) to convince him that he raped her then. They meet again when the heroine is cleaning a flat in London and the hero recognizes her. She overhears him telling his girlfriend all about her scandalous, drunken mother and crass father. She turns a vase of flowers over his head and is fired. Hero tracks her down as she and her half-sister are going to thrown out in the streets for non-payment of rent. He offers her a housekeeping job at a derelict manor house in the same district as her father. Later we find out that hero did this as revenge to embarrass the father. The father had swindled the H�s grandfather in a poker game. But why tell the hero he�s a father? The heroine�s sister has left her husband in hopes of getting the hero back. She is inconveniently pregnant by her husband, so she�ll have to get an abortion if she wants to catch the hero. In order to save the unborn child, the heroine tells her sister that the hero is her child�s father. (I still don�t get the logic � she thinks her sister will back off the hero and keep the baby from her husband if the hero�s the father of an illegitimate child?) The sister confronts the hero about this paternity issue and since he can�t remember, he thinks the child might be his. Why the heroine didn�t tell him the truth about the sister and the abortion is beyond me � and why she didn�t tell the sister�s husband his wife was pregnant is also beyond me. And really � that�s the conflict. There are a lot of pages about the heroine�s Cinderella existence in the hero�s dilapidated house and the scorn one of his employees has for her � but it�s really not necessary to the central conflict - which is the lies she tells and the kind of revenge the hero extracts. The author didn�t resolve any of this to my satisfaction - but my goodness, she kept me reading. Wait a minute. Don�t go. What about the love story/romance? The heroine was jealous of her sister, was constantly thinking how beautiful the hero was, and really liked how kind he was to her sister. She realizes she�s in love on their wedding day. There were glimpses of the hero�s regard. He called her a soft-centered chocolate � a tempting indulgence. He hit the h�s father when he insulted her and then threw him out of the house. He also picked out her romantic, innocent wedding dress. He called a halt to his revenge (after more brutal sex ) because it was messing up their relationship. We are treated to some rough, humiliating sex scenes, but we never see a tender love scene, unfortunately. Sounds messed up. It was - in a way only an HP can be messed up. Be warned and happy reading!
