review 1: I read this as part of The Seduction in the Sun Box Set, but I decided to review the books individually.This novella made little sense to me, it was all over the place.Ayah is a shy virgin (too naive to be believed) who wins a trip to Paris. On the plane, she meets Nic (who tells her his name is Luuk), a billionaire. After barely speaking two words to him, they are kissing and she nearly loses her virginity. On a plane! With people staring at them!Then he walks away, but she's in love with him already. A year passes and she's living in Hong Kong (her job is something that was never fully explained and why she is living in HK isn't really either), she and Nic/Luuk talk on the phone . She thinks he's in the middle of a divorce and too poor to visit, yet she's waiting f... moreor him. What?There's also a barely explained side plot about this woman who Nic is thinking of marrying, but again, it's not fully explained. It's implied that he's been dating/having sex with this woman while Ayah is pining away for him.I lost interest after awhile, which is sad because it's not a very long story!
review 2: What happens when you fall face first into a male strangers lap on a plane? Want to find out then read this!!!I am a fan of the old Harlequin romances featuring Dutch males, to find one here in one of my favourite authors novels, well, for me anyway, was great!! Nic is genuinely amused by the antics of Ayah who he finds himself sitting next to in business class due to his private jet breaking down, a problem that we have all faced. Feeling like this is a feeling he has not felt in. . .he can't remember when, so what can you do when you feel like this but to kiss a complete stranger and then do. . .other stuff!This is what happens on the plane but then the issue Nic has is that he is a cynic when it comes to the opposite sex and to love in general. He lies to Ayah about his name and his financial status and then leaves her on the plane. He cannot get her out of his head so ends up contacting her and they have a 'relationship' online and over the phone. But what happens when she discovers the truth.This is another great book by this author although I have to be honest and say it is not the best. This is the first book involving characters of the De Koningh family (Nic being one of them)and I look forward to more. Some of the scenes are HOT especially the one in the cable car!Please note that I was given a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. less
