review 1: A light, fast-paced story. An easy, enjoyable read.Alexander Konstantinakos is called to task after the discovery that he had fathered twin boys and they are not claimed by him. He had never know of their existance, but he recognized the woman in the photo as a one night stand from a very stressful time in his life. He did not want the tramp around his sons, but when Ruby Wareham is confronted by him, she demands to stay with her sons, and the he must marry her.Sander believes Ruby is like his own mother, selfish, money hungry, a low character with loose morals, but the more time he spends with her, the more she causes him confusion between what he knows and believes about her.Ruby had met Sander at a bar, drunk, wearing tight clothes, and literally thru herself at him. ... moreThe recent death of her parents and the loss of her home had her seeking safety in the arms of someone to love her. Only seventeen, she had believed Sander's was the man to keep her safe, only to have him throw her out of the hotel after a night of passion, leaving her pregnant with the boys.
review 2: Double Standards.The hero is feeling pressure by his father to be some upstanding greek traditional guy. As a result he goes to a bar where a lot of football groupies hang out to get it on with some football players. He sees the heroine, who is 17 by the way, and decides to have sex with the little groupie in order to get back at his daddy for trying to plan his life.Oh yeah, he's great.Meanwhile, 17 year old heroine of the story recently lost both of her parents and her older sister is now the boss. She's upset and going through rebellion stage. She's not a groupie but her no good rebellion stage friends are and dress her up and drag her there. She sees the hero and being 17 and suffering from all this at home rebellion trauma, she thinks he's a knight in shining armor. He's the answer to everything so when they get together and have sex it's okay because he's 'the one'. Instead he gets up, drops some money on the table for her and walks out.Now years later his sister sees these kids at the airport and snaps a picture of them. She goes to show the hero that these children look so much like them as children that they must be the younger brother's kids. The hero recognizes the little groupie so he goes to get his kids from her.The heroine and her sisters are running into a bunch of financial trouble, all the sisters have their own mediocre books as well. The hero shows up and wants the kids and the heroine basically tells him he'll marry her or else.The whole story is about him making the heroine feel like crap for sleeping with him.Okay the dumb 17 year old slept with a guy after weaving fantasies around him because she was emotionally traumatized with all the upheaval in her life. But the hero basically met up with a groupie, that he knew was a groupie, and had sex with her to get back at his father, or grandfather, or whoever, and then paid her for the sex. So the hero thinks of her as a hooker but he's the great guy and she's the nasty little slut.Maybe if the book had focused on her reasonings and his own shortcomings and failings, it would have been good.But no, it's all about the terrible thing she did in her youth and the great guy who didn't know about it but is stepping up to the plate for his dear sweet children now.A strong heroine who realized the mistakes she made but wasn't about to let people put her down, and certainly not someone who made the same if not worse mistakes as her would be asking too much here. less
