review 1: The heroine Ophelia has been left a crumbling house by her grandmother but there is a condition in the will. She must marry Lysander Metaxis who has his own personal reasons for wanting this house. Ophelia eventually gives in, they get married, move in together and fall hard and fast for each other. I adored Ophelia because she is vulnerable and wears her heart on her sleeve. Lysander's character is to die for. He is complex, sexy and interesting. As a child he was brutally abused by his father and his mother died of drug overdose. Originally he is not interested in a marriage but he soon realizes he wants his marriage to last cause he is smitten with the lovely Ophelia. I loved how he took care of her. He was protective, possessive and definitely marriage material.Their "... morefight" scenes were awesome. It was so amusing to see these two bicker at each other and wanting nothing more than to jump each others bones. The love scenes were steamy but that was expected since their chemistry jumps off the pages! Amazing romance that made me all warm and fuzzy!
review 2: An interesting story for this kind. Determined to get his hands on Ophelia's house due to a long-lasting family rivalry, Lysander has to do it quickly for his real reason (won't spoil that). Ophelia agrees to the arranged marriage of convenience but from there it's topsy turvy. Lysander was hard to take a lot of the time. It's arrogance and unwillingness to bend grew old, but he redeems himself as time goes on and he becomes a better protagonist for it. Not my favorite type she's written but not atrocious either.This one held a little humor sometimes but it was mainly serious and more on the dry side. Ophelia is a likeable enough heroine, I guess, and there's plenty of tension and arguing between the two. She's certainly no doormat.Ugh, the grandmother is the true villain of this story - what a despicable woman.Lysander falls pretty hard for the heroine, which is when he grows more likeable. Ophelia is in love with him quickly as well and the bedroom steaminess starts early. Her actually leaving him at one point was a well-done point and a nice change.Not the best Harlequin in the world but a fun way to spend an afternoon when in the mood for one of these or Lynne Graham. The ending rocks for not only the heroine and hero of the story, but all involved. less
