review 1: I would have given it four stars until I reached the final chapter. The last chapter pulled the rating down to 3 stars because it was so utterly ridiculous. I wasn't happy what the main male character decided to do to win back the female character in this chapter. Until then I was thinking about 4 stars because although I was enjoying the emotional situation between the characters, the details of the intimate scenes and how the book flowed overall, I still thought the prince was a jerk, especially when he nearly raped his new pregnant wife on the stairs, and the fact that she began the book in your typical "innocent virgin" status. I'm sick of these goody-goody virgins in romance novels. I'm sure there's a place for them, but realistically, in this day-and-age MOST Am... moreerican women don't go past the age of 25 with their virginity still intact.
review 2: Lilley doesn’t exactly work hard at seeing her dreams come true. She seems to be slightly….well…mousey. She hides and doesn’t draw attention to herself, just existing and never really putting for the effort in realizing her dreams. Prince Alessandro Caetanie, is Lilley’s boss and he does notice her. He has just been issued an ultimatum by his latest squeeze who believes that he will play for keeps w/ her. He won’t, but he finds that he can show her by moving on w/ Lilley his employee at the ball. He laid it all out for Lilley not really hiding anything: one night, no strings, and then back to everyday life - her being a little mouse and he being the big cat on the premises! He offers her a way to pay back her cheating BF and roommate as well. Lilley grasps it but she shows her true colors to Alessandro at the ball – however like usual the H doesn’t understand it until much later. Lilley has some secrets that she has kept for good cause and when they come home to roost they destroy the relationship that Lilley and Alessandro had been building creating some great old fashion drama and angst in this story! Yes, Alessandro can be a horse’s bum in many instances in this story, but she wasn’t exactly upfront either. If she had been…..well they might not have met! You can see the ammunition for the set-up right when it happens, you see his feelings for Lilley developing and his act of revenge on her behalf at one point (which makes me wonder if he got his revenge on the real villain of this piece later). He knows that Lilley is forgiving but he is not so why wouldn’t he seek revenge later? Because of his past Alessandro can’t trust people but he gave his trust to Lilley until the ex-mistress plays up her secrets and all is revealed at their party. He humiliates Lilley in front of all these people – his friends who didn’t seem to approve of her anyway and then Lilley is ceremoniously kicked to the curb. Before getting the heck out of dodge though, she stands up one last time to him. Of course, Alessandro finds out the truth and then he makes a marvelous effort to attain Lilley once again. It would appear that Alessandro had reverted to what he knew, and that is why he believed the worst of Lilley despite the other evidence that she had shown him over the course of their relationship. less
