review 1: Cara has been living in London with her evil brother since she was sixteen, basically Cinderella~ing for him, in between working as a nightclub hostess and getting herself educated. She’s been a busy girl, but now that evil brother is dead, she’s getting ready to take herself off home to Dublin, where she’ll get herself a decent job and begin her life as an untarnished nice person.But not so fast. Cara’s brother died in a car accident, his fiancée died too, and only Cara walked away from because she was wearing her seatbelt (like all good hearted heroines do, unless they are in the backs of limos with the hero and he’s getting rather intimate with bits that are usually more safely restrained). Seatbelts save lives.Cara’s brother’s fiancée (yes, this would b... moree easier with names, sorry) was Vincenzo’s baby sister, and he thinks Cara was in on the evil brother’s plot to take his baby sister’s fortune by eloping with her to Las Vegas, and then brutally divorcing her, leaving her with nothing. It’s an interesting plan. I mean, he could also have brutally stayed married to her, and brutally enjoyed her company as they brutally spent the money together on all sorts of lovely excess and debauchery. They were already drugging together, and either this book was being progressive and it was no big thing to get a little bit high, or: drugs are bad, then you die. Evil brother was also doing hacking and take over bids and evil business stuff against Vincenzo’s company to keep Vincenzo too busy to ride to his sister’s rescue, so Vincenzo is super-furious and wants to get revenge on Cara. Unless they are relatives or loyal family retainers, women are so evil. When Vincenzo meets Cara she seems particularly dastardly, what with her sitting around in a night club, wearing a dress and chatting to the bartender. Yes, clearly acts of extreme wickedness, and her ability to blush and stammer like a normal girl when a man flirts with her are further evidence of her studied sinisterness. Vincenzo is not a very rational creature, but then I was hardly expecting him to be, because just look at that title. Ruthlessness and force and rhymes – Cara and Vincenzo are destined to be completely over the top about everything. Vincenzo is immediately super into Cara, even though he spends most of the story telling her that she’s the most evil creature alive, and although Cara doesn’t consider this to be his most attractive feature, he’s got others that are pretty difficult to resist.Vincenzo seduces Cara by managing to restrain his desire to call her a demoness, and she goes back to his hotel room with him, and oh what bedtimes are had. There is the breeching of the virgin barrier, a burst condom and snuggle times that come to a rather ruthlessly abrupt conclusion. Vincenzo is too busy enjoying wallowing in the irresistible filth that is himself seducing his enemy to notice that there was a hymen at some stage (he’ll remember it later) and uncontained emissions. After it’s all over, he reveals his true identity to Cara, she’s satisfyingly horrified, and they each go their separate ways.A couple of months later Cara’s pregnant, and she’s in a grotty flat in Dublin, and she can’t get a job. It’s all getting rather desperate really, when she finds out that Vincenzo is in town on rich people business, and she goes to confront him at a rich people function. Vincenzo tells her she’s a liar, that her grotty flat is grotty, and that she must either immediately sign something saying she’s a liar, or come to Italy and get married. Oh, and there’s some complicated stuff about how her evil brother had done something shonky with money and it was in an account in her name, and this sleazy guy in London had made it go away, and was now demanding that Cara pay him back with sex, and Vincenzo will somehow do something about it and then Cara will end up in prison, probably. I didn’t really get it, but it helped make the high moral ground of ‘not denying my baby its father’ into an additional practical ground of ‘avoiding starving in a gutter until I am maybe hauled off to prison, which is probably not good for a baby either. I mean, I’m thinking for two now, it’s big noble obligations for a plucky young redhead.’ Cara chooses marriage. To a man who despises her! To a man she would despise herself if he didn’t make her heart beat faster! Gasp! There’s the obligatory shopping trip once they hit Italy, because Cara has been making do with the good-hearted girl capsule wardrobe of ten painfully drab items. Cara is in mourning, so while she is forced to purchase designer, she buys all these sombre colours, and Vincenzo grits his teeth about it really audibly. It’s all a ploy anyway, to make him think she’s a nice girl, as is her whole acting like a nice girl thing which she just won’t let up on. Honestly, she’s been 24/7 with this being nice BS. Such an evil, sexy, evil gold digging witch. He is going to say something nasty real soon and then immediately demand a night of snuggles, because those are his rights!Oh these two crazy kids and their moral high grounds. It’s never just the sex with these people, oh no, they have so much in common, are they blind? (yes) They prefer family run restaurants to posh celebrity hang outs. They both think night clubs are the domains of Satan, but know that they must reluctantly pass through their profane portals on legitimately noble business once in a while. They have similar tastes in women’s fashions, jewellery and makeup, they like families and putting the glass in the dishwasher rather than leaving it out for the maid. They also have the intrinsic knowledge that everything that they like is right and proper and good, and everything that they don’t like is the work of nasty pernicious devil people. I liked them both heaps for being such complete dafties about each other. With the action I have described I’ve barely skimmed the surface of what happens in Italy – as well as pool-side retreats in gorgeous locations, there’s a lot more heartache and emotional wreckage going on. And my eyes most certainly did not tear up in those bits, it was just allergies.
review 2: Setelah mengetahui adiknya tewas dalam kecelakaan mobil bersama pacarnya yg munafik, Vicenzo Valentini berniat membalas dendam kepada satu-satunya orang yg berhasil selamat dari kecelakaan itu.Tentunya, bukan hanya itu saja alasannya. Vicenzo mengira Cormac (pacar Allegra, adiknya) bekerja sama dengan Cara Brosnan untuk membodohi Allegra. Puas dengan Cormac yg berakhir meninggal, Vicenzo marah karena Cara merupakan satu-satunya orang yg berhasil selamat, setelah semua yg Cara perbuat pada adiknya. Dan karena itu, Vicenzo mulai merayu Cara dengan niat membalas dendam.Rayuan Vicenzo berhasil dan Cara jatuh ke dalam pelukannya. Setelah itu, Vicenzo mulai membeberkan detail-detail kejahatan Cara yg tidak bisa dibantah lalu meninggalkan Cara begitu saja.Semua detail itu benar, kecuali bahwa niat Cara yg sebenarnya tidaklah seperti yg dipikirkan Vicenzo. Tapi Cara sama sekali tidak berusaha untuk membantah, dan membiarkan Vicenzo meninggalkannya dalam perasaan yg amburadul.Lalu, Cara hamil. Dan mengetahui bahwa Vicenzo berada tidak jauh darinya hanya dalam waktu yg singkat, Cara melakukan tindakan impulsif dengan memberitahu Vicenzo mengenai kehamilannya, dan bahwa pada malam itu Cara masih virgin. Tentu saja, Vicenzo tidak percaya. Tapi karena masih ragu-ragu dengan kebenarannya, Vicenzo memaksa Cara untuk menikahinya. Cara sendiri tidak melakukan tindakan berarti yg mengekspresikan penolakannya akan ide itu. Alasan sy tidak suka buku ini, pertama karena Vicenzo selalu memikirkan yg terburuk dari Cara dan ketidakpercayaan terhadap Cara terlalu besar. Alasan berikutnya, karena Cara yg dari awal terus tunduk saja pada Vicenzo yg jelas2 menindas dia. Alasan-alasan itu cukup untuk membuat saya berhenti membaca buku ini di pertengahan. less
