review 1: Carole Mortimer is an author I will definitely pick up. Opens very promisingly when the Heroine - Luccy is inspired to use the hero - Sin, who's a stranger to her in a bid to evade the advances of a client. Sin takes Luccy to his Suite in order to administer her a restorative brandy and ... passion overtakes them. Then comes the misunderstanding. I didn't like that Sin was so ready to believe the creepy client but did not even think of asking Luccy for an explanation. That's why this book gets 3 stars instead of 4.Liked this dialogueShe gave a dismissive laugh. 'I don't believe I've ever met anyone else who has believed me capable of blackmail-let alone actually accused me of it!' Her voice had hardened over the last words, her eyes glittering angrily as she looked at him ... morein furious challenge. The dawning realisation that Luccy could be pregnant - Sin looked at her searchingly, easily noting the changes in her now that he knew what he was looking for: there were dark shadows beneath those bewitching blue eyes that indicated a lack of sleep, her cheeks were more hollow than they had been, and there were lines of tension beside her unsmiling mouth. His gaze moved lower. She was still incredibly slender, but he was sure that her breasts were slightly fuller than he remembered... He wasn't wrong in his conclusion, Sin was sure that he wasn't! He had spent the time while Luccy was in the bathroom considering all the options-including that she might have eaten something that disagreed with her. But the more obvious reason for her sudden nausea was the one that refused to go away... Just loved the Butler Wallace. The turning point was when Wallace tells Luccy about his past and his tragic loss of his wife and unborn child. Sin happens to overhear the conversation and starts thinking that maybe he could be wrong.HEA - They have twins. A boy and a girl.
review 2: This is a mediocre book by an author who I feel has written some excellent books in her time. I think the whole set up was underwhelming. I have always felt the scenario of falling into bed together shortly after meeting due to an ungovernable attraction a hard one to pull off. Not an auspicious start to a true love story, in my opinion. I can't see why Luccy was so compelled to allow Sin to jump her bones. Especially for a woman who was so cautious about men and circumspect in her love life. Yeah, he was good-looking and he helped her in an awkward situation, but she should have listened to the voice that said, 'Go back to your room.' Of course, if she did, the book would have ended a lot sooner. Sin's arrogance is a strike against him for me. He thinks the world is his oyster. Admittedly as the only son of a billionaire empire, maybe it is. However, he has the flaw of being unable to conceive that a woman could want him for himself, and that she could be a legitimate businesswoman who would get by on skills and competence as a photographer, instead of coercing clients into contracting her services with her sexuality and lies. Highly insulting. And to make it worse, Luccy downplayed herself as a secretary as if she was ashamed of the fact that she was a self-made businesswoman. Left a bad taste in my mouth.You wonder sometimes how a person can believe that someone wants you when they act like they hold you in perfect contempt. Of course, you don't want them in your life, or want to open up to them, or 'gasp!' be intimate with them. Of course, your dreaded hormones act against you. I didn't root for Sin to win over Luccy at all. I kept thinking she should just go back to England. He wasn't worth her time or energy. I'm not entirely sure that his declaration of love at the end had much of an effect on me. Good thing they have a happy epilogue at the end. Probably being too hard on this book. But that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. For me, three stars is a rating for a book with serious flaws, but it wasn't a bad book. Definitely could have been better though. less
