review 1: Proving everything that is sick and wrong with the virgin heroine, abusive hero trope. It is not romantic when a woman gives her virginity to a man who is using her for sex and treats her like garbage, it is disgusting and abusive. His coldness, vicious treatment, the way he broke up with her and flaunted a fiancé in front of her face was not just cruel....this "hero" was actually a mentally disturbed sociopath. Core story is a virgin heroine celibate for years but treated like a whore and left for another woman for no good reason by disgusting hero...we are supposed to admire heroine but she was also disturbed as there was nothing loveable about hero, I don't believe she really loved him either....she was just looking for the emotional version of a red room of pain. ... more Her giving her virginity to him and staying faithful was obscene...heroine with emotionally battered woman syndrome...nothing sexy about this. I almost wondered if this was a parody and the author was making fun of HP readers or the publishers with their absurd, sexist guidelines. If it had been a parody...5 stars. As a romance, no stars at all.
review 2: There are various of romance stories but this book has an interesting plot which attracts me when i first read it. I love how this story starts and the flow keeps going. I just love the woman character here and also the man. these two tell me indirectly lots of things. It'd be even better if the story has more complicated problems and plots so it has long plot and more words. I just wish that Harlequin Presents has longer stories and make the stories continuing from this part to another part because we know that the marriage part is just only the beginning of life itself :). less
