review 1: This inhabits the same shelves as quite a number of my guilty pleasure HPs. The plot, on the surface, is also very familiar.Greek or Italian tycoon hero believes heroine and/or heroine's family are responsible for the death of a family member. He tracks her down, seduces her out of her virginity and then drops the bomb that it was just hate sex to satisfy the HP tycoon Gods of family honor, vengeance, yada yada. Heroine turns up pregnant and the tycoon then forces her to marry him through some sort of blackmail scheme. Enough said. We all know the score.This was essentially that, but it had more depth. I didn't just enjoy it because of the OTT craziness of it all. I actually teared up a few times, something I rarely if ever do when reading an HP. I don't want to spoil... more it all, but suffice it to say that this was different. The hero, though arrogant and powerful, had some depth and seemed more human. For one thing, he didn't set out to seduce the heroine. Sometimes that doesn't even make sense beyond the sheer naughty/kinkiness of it. His plan was to meet her, feel her out, then reveal his identity and force her to spill the entire story of how she and her dead brother had set out to fleece his sister and were both responsible for her death. He just wanted someone to lash out at. He wanted someone to admit responsibility for the death of his sister. There really was no big, complicated, sexy scheme of revenge. Problem was, Vincenzo found himself very attracted to Cara. They both were in pain and grieving, so they tried to lose themselves in a night of passion. It was only afterwards (disgusted with himself for sleeping with the enemy) that he told her his full name and how much he hated her.Like I said we all know the score on the rest of the plot, but be prepared for some surprises and some genuine angst/emotion. Highly recommended if you enjoy the revenge HPs.
review 2: i did not like it though the book was good, entertaining. it's the storyline i did not like at all. vincenzo was such an ass n cara was just a plain doormat, so pitiful her fascination wid him while he humiliated n insulted her. he had the most awful thoughts n intentions towards her haha xd miss abby green tried 2 explain our hero's behaviour at the end. clearly it's traumatic 4 a kid dat his mum left him like dat but it's pathetic dat this can explain his kind of behaviour. he was simply awful n i did not buy dat book.i mean it does not appeal 2 me on any level. der was no grovelling, no forgiving at the end. just he learnt the truth n he says i love u. n dats it ! very very annoying less
