review 1: Free download. This is a sweet story about 2 very different people, Lucy works as a marketing director for a resort which has been around forever, she was a problem child but was sent to a kids camp at the resort when she was younger and it changed her life. She met Sterling Matthew at the camp, he was the owners son, and lost her virginity to him. Now 15 years later Sterling is back to take over his fathers business due to illness. Sparks fly in both directions but firstly because Sterling has to close the kids camp to save the Inn. Lucy decides to fight him but will she loose her heart in the battle. I loved Lucy and Sterlings story. The book gives you their history so there's no confusion. I enjoyed the plot, and story. The characters are great and the chemistry is well... more written. It's a sweet romance, which is not explicit. Would recommend for romance lovers.
review 2: This is my first review in English so… sorry for mistakes!I would recommend this book for lovers of millionaires and/ or insta-lust stories. I had read some and this one falls into that category.They are not my cuppa.It is the only fault I can put on the story. If they had detailed it in the blurb, I wouldn´t had pick up this one.I found it unrealistic and shallow. The MC are driven by sex, and only sex. (And FYI, there isn´t explicit description of sex in this book, it just describes the foreplay, then: blackout! I usually don´t mind it but in this case it appears odd because the foreplay is well described.)Aside of tons of inner talk in which each character tell us their point of view, there isn´t any other interaction between them. No captivating or interesting talk between them to show us how the feel or what they want from the other, just the typical assumptions about “I´m not good enough for him” or “I don´t know if I want more from her than sex”. She is a weak character driven by lust and he is a spoiled brat driven by lust too.Even now, at the end of the story, the “I love you” arrives still without explanations or apologies, or something else other than return to having sex. All goes well and everything is solved miraculously... what would have happened if there had not been "that magical donation"? ***Recomendaría este libro a los amantes de los romances (o insta-lust) protagonizados por millonarios. He leído algunos y esta historia entra dentro de dicha categoría. No es difícil de imaginar que no están entre mis favoritos.Es la única “pega” que le puedo poner a la historia, si lo hubiesen detallado en la descripción del libro, no lo hubiese elegido.Me ha resultado irreal y banal. La única relación que hay entre los protagonistas es la sexual, (aunque he de decir que no hay descripción explícita de sexo, tan sólo de los prolegómenos, después: apagón! A mí nunca antes me había importado pero en esta historia me ha resultado chocante, sobre todo por lo descriptivo de los previos.)Aparte de páginas y páginas de diálogo interior, cada uno contando la historia desde su punto de vista, no hay más interacción entre ellos. No hay diálogo interesante o arrebatador que nos muestre cómo se sienten o qué es lo que quieren el uno del otro, sólo las suposiciones típicas de “no soy lo suficientemente buena para él” o “no sé si quiero algo más de ella que sexo”. Cuando los personajes toman decisiones, uno espera que tengan consecuencias, aquí no es así. Ella aguanta todo lo que le echan encima y más, y él es un niño grande malcriado…Incluso ya al final de la historia cuando llegan los “te quiero”, siguen sin llegar las explicaciones o las disculpas o algo más aparte de volver a tener sexo. Todo sale bien y todo se soluciona milagrosamente…qué hubiese pasado si no hubiese habido “esa donación mágica”?. less
