review 1: I really disliked this one. The hero was terrible and I never warmed to him. I don't mind a lot of HP hero cruelty in general, but there have to be some redeeming qualities in the hero while he's doing it -- either you can tell he loves her or at least you can tell that he has a core of morality/ethics even if he's behaving badly. I didn't think this guy had either. I also thought that the heroine's total helplessness in resisting the hero physically was way over the top -- again, I don't mind some extreme/far-fetched physical attraction, but this heroine seemed unable to protest even the hero's verbal taunts about her attraction to him -- like his claim that he was going to take her to bed that night, when it was the first night they'd met and she was a virgin. Finally, I... more just couldn't stand the hero's giant, prolonged pout over the fact that she didn't tell him about the baby when he had done so many terrible things before that.
review 2: This was my first read by Jennie Lucas and I really enjoyed it. This book had the angst I like in it. In the beginning I definitely wanted to punch Roarke for his attitude about Lia in the beginning and his treatment of her as it was undeserved. However, in the middle of the book he changed and Ms. Lucas did a great job of showing the reader how he changed. His treatment towards Lia near the end was understandable because of his hurt concerning her keeping Ruby's birth a secret. I liked how the hero showed a vulnerable side for a brief moment and you don't see that too much in Presents titles. He wasn't a jerk through the whole book and the times when he was horrible to Lia were due to the hurt she caused and his own fears.The end was pretty predictable as others have said but overall I really liked the book as it kept my interest throughout the whole story and didn't drag in any place.Anyone who enjoys baby themes will like this but for those who hate it when the heroine keeps the baby from the hero will not. It doesn't bother me as much as I know it bothers some. I will definitely continue to read books by Jennie Lucas. less
