Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-15 00:00:00 Amanda S Rowland This book has some good moments, but those bad moments are so so bad. The heroine is hired to tote around the hero in a limo. He thinks she's going to be an easy lay but she's not really. They wind up kidnapped and taken to a deserted island with a big house, plenty of food etc. While there they wind up sleeping together. The heroine stops first because she wants to make sure he's not with anyone, so asks him if there's anyone that will be hurt by what they do, and he assures her that there isn't. He thinks she has something to do with the kidnapping, but when they are rescued he finds out that it was actually his cousin that set it up, and since they're dead now, he doesn't want all the bad publicity on his family so tells NO ONE including the heroine. She knows that it was her co-worker that she'd gone on a date with, but doesn't know that it was also his cousin. Of course, the heroine's backstory is that she was engaged to be married but her sister wanted her fiance so she slept with him and got pregnant. The family is just SOO happy for the sister, except the fiance refuses to marry her, but he is living with her, so they're not happy that he's not 'doing the right thing' and they want the heroine to smooth things over. Yes, everyone in her family just overlooked the fact that her fiance cheated on her, and her sister slept with her fiance and everything is all for the sister. So when they get back, the hero doesn't want to be seen with her, because lo! he's actually got a fiancee. But he wants the heroine to remain as his mistress because the sex was so good. The heroine refuses but the hero thinks eventually she'll change her mind. And she only does because she winds up pregnant. He decides to marry her so breaks off his engagement. He then works day and night because he was so close to being married in a good business deal for his company, that he might lose everything if he doesn't. Of course he doesn't tell the heroine this either. So then what happens? The other woman confronts the heroine, and the heroine thinks that the other woman wasn't a good person so didn't deserve the wonderful hero. And the book dies a horrible death. You would think that someone who'd been cheated on would have storng values about that, but she just doesn't. You would think she would have a strong opinion about people that would cheat, being the recipient of such treatment, but instead she blames the one who was cheated ON and claims that the CHEATER, who had no intention of not getting married despite sleeping with another woman and had every intention of continuing to cheat even after his marriage, was such a good wonderful person. Big, horrible fail. Yes, he manned up and offered marriage at the expense of his business, but he was not a good husband, nor should anyone actually want him. She should just remember that in 5 years when he's sleeping with someone else that the other woman who becomes the wife inevitably becomes the exwife. Once a cheater, always a cheater.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-07-13 00:00:00 Virginia Wilbur At first, I wasn't sure if I wanted to read it, but I'm glad I did cause I ended up liking it. It really gave me a good laugh. I loved the development of Cristo and Betsy's relationship. It's not your usual boy meets girl, has sex, then girl ends up pregnant, then married happily ever after. In this book, the author used the kidnapping to build up their relationship. It was refreshing! I loved Betsy's character. She's funny, strong, independent, and feisty. I liked the way she called Cristo's snob. Haha! Another thing I liked about Betsy is that she's isn't afraid to say what's on her mind. I loved what she said to Cristo when he called her a liar when she said she didn't want him. She stood her ground and didn't give in immediately. Yayyy! *Go, girl!* "I can admire a painting without wanting to buy it." Cristo is your typical alpha male - gorgeous, wealthy, possessive, domineering. He fancied Betsy the first time he saw her. And gladly accepted the opportunity to get to know her and bed her. But when the two of them were kidnapped, he accused her of being the accomplice of their kidnapper. But despite that, he still wanted her. He still shamelessly tried to seduce Betsy forgetting to mention that he was already engaged. And then, when they're ready to go back home, he callously informed her about his fiancee and then asked her to be his mistress! WTF! I wanted to hit him! But even though I'm not a fan of the cheating heroes, I still enjoyed the book. I enjoyed reading their heated arguments, their funny and sweet moments. The ending is sweet but a little abrupt, I think. But an enjoyable one nonetheless. FAVORITE LINES: While he was being treated like the plague for being engaged, Betsy was entertaining - in a room with a bed in it - the louse who had cheated on her with her own sister. Where was the justice in that? Your conviction that you're an intensely lovable person and fatally attractive to virgins. I don't think you would. You have the sensitivity of a concrete block.
