review 1: I love Abby Green, she is one of my favourite M&B authors but I struggled with the one and the I think the fault mainly lands with Andreas. He was just a little too hard for my tastes and it doesn't help that someone close to me has severe bi-polar and his reactions when the truth came out bothered me so I developed a love-hate relationship with him. However, while this is my personal view it certainly shouldn't put anyone else off. I mean come on, it's Abby Green and her writing is simply wonderful!
review 2: I didn't care for the hero. His attitude was what stopped me from giving this book a higher score. He was an ass and really should have done more to redeem himself to Siena. He treated her like a prostitute for most of the book (he even basically called h... moreer one when deriding her for "prostituting" herself to him for a week when she tells him why she wanted the money- it was to help her sister who has severe bi-polar disorder). Which brings me to my next point, his reaction when she tells him why she did what she did was what really made me hate him (something to the affect of you ruined my life for your sister?). The woman has severe bi-polar disorder, had no way of getting help with an abusive father who loved tormenting and punishing her, especially when Siena was bad or stepped out of line. Being caught in the act of having sex with a hotel employee wouldn't have gone over well and when the sister is suicidal and everything is going to hell, what was she supposed to do?! For a guy who claims he understood how severe mental health issues are, his reaction was grossly underwhelming. And even in the end, his crack about how his family and how she doesn't fit in- yeah another tick in the ass box until he finally thinks it's ok to tell her he loves him. I also didn't care for the scene where she meets Rocco (remember him from Abby's other book, "The Legend of DeMarco?"). This was all about the daughter paying for the sin's of the father when everyone could kind of see, he was evil. I struggled to finish the book. I ended up glossing over a lot of it, got kind of hard to read. less
