review 1: I've been a follower of the Harlequin Present line for many, many years and have always thoroughly enjoyed them.With that being said, I didn't care for this book. I admired the writing, as I found little to no fault with it. However, perhaps I've been reading too many books like this. You have a female, blonde of course, who entangles herself with a very Latin male. He's arrogant, overbearing, extremely wealthy and most importantly, cynical and jaded. Am I the only one that's growing weary of these types of males?Anyway, I don't want to wander off-topic too far. So back to this book... From reading reviews, I saw someone who had the exact thought that I did on a part of the plot that bothered me.Not giving too much away, the heroine and hero go to a party. Heroine encounte... morers a man from her past that blacklisted her from finding another job in her field of work. This man insults her and then calmly walks away. I think this is the first time in my memory where the Latin hero, whether he privately agreed with the other man's assessment or not, let the guy insult the heroine and then allow him to leave without uttering a single word.I apologize, but...wow. I've never seen an author do that with her very Latin heroes before. Usually the insult to something they feel is theirs has them lashing out and very soundly cutting down the other person. Again, as mentioned, whether the hero felt the other person was only speaking what the hero believed as truth, normally he will defend the heroine.Overall, an intriguing read. An interesting plot point. I will not use this as a basis not to read future books by this author. Unfortunately, this book did not stand out for me.
review 2: 4*The title is stupid. Besides that I was amazed that I really liked the book :DI love how it started: the crazy woman proposing marriage and talking about how it will increase sales figures and profits. It was a new thing :D Another thing I liked about the book was that they didn't fall in bed together from the start(amazing, I know). And the thing that made me give 4*: she left him and he went after her and groveled! I mean :D in this books they usually grovel at the end, BUT I liked that she didn't stay with him, did whatever he wanted and waited that he'll recognize he loved her less
