review 1: Back cover blurb:"Get a wife. ASAP."When his king says Prince Vincenzo D'Agostino must marry, the confirmed bachelor knows only one woman will do: Glory Monaghan, the lover who betrayed him six years ago. By forcing her hand, he'll appease his ruler—and get the woman he can't forget out of his system forever.But Vincenzo's proposal is the last thing Glory expects. His long-ago rejection nearly destroyed her—how can she say yes now, even for show? Yet she has no choice. Becoming Vincenzo's temporary bride will save her family—even if giving in to the prince of Castaldini's passion will surely leave her yearning for more.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Olivia Gates is a wonderful story teller who knows how to draw you in to the world she has created a... morend keep you invested, mentally and emotionally. I have been a fan of hers since 2009 when I was first introduced to the beautiful Castaldini Kingdom and the D'Agostino's. Vincenzo is most definitely a D'Agostino prince; pure alpha male who lashes out when he gets hurt even if he doesn't have all the information about a situation. Olivia's hero's all seem follow a very close mold, and if you have liked any of them in the past you will most assuredly fall for Vincenzo.Glory starts out as a naive young lady who falls hard for her boss. After the heart wrenching breakup she becomes a strong and successful woman; who buries herself in her work...for six long years. Glory will always love Vincenzo but now knows she can make it on her own if she has to. When they come together Vincenzo and Glory are explosive, in and out of bed. Glory is no longer the naive young lady, she is now a mature woman who has no problem letting Vincenzo know what she is thinking. She lashes him with her tongue more than once letting him know how much of a pompous jerk he is being. Vincenzo finds this new side of Glory fascinating and invigorating, she is no longer someone he can bowl over, which makes her even more glorious and desirable in his eyes. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I have. I will be keeping this book on my shelves for quite a while so I can go back and revisit these two remarkable characters and their unforgettable world.
review 2: 3-1/2 stars. In general a pretty good story. The hero was cruel at the beginning as you see him dumping her for betraying him. Of course as is the case with all good HP heroes or heroines, he never asks for her side of the story. The story starts 6 years later when he needs to marry so he blackmails her into marriage since he never really got over her and decides to get her out of his system this way. The downfall of the book for me, if there is one, is that he changes his mind about how he feels about her so early that you really can't get behind his asshattery. The heroine even wonders if he is manic depressive, his mood changes so often and so rapidly.He was so totally in love with her that he couldn't keep up being mean to her. The writing was okay but a bit OTT in a florid almost purple prosy way. There were a few plotting inconsistencies but nothing real major. On the whole I enjoyed it.I received this book free for review from netGalley. less
