The h is still reeling from the huge and nasty betrayal of her lover. This was an oyster in an ocean filled with doormat heroines and unrepentant cads. Thank you so so much to my good GR friend Talltree for the recommendation. And not because she is a petty, spiteful bitch who likes to make him grovel, but because she is a strong, rational, dignified woman who understands that it takes a second to shatter your trust and a lifetime to build it up again, if that is even possible.

It is so rare to encounter a heroine who isn't just going to roll over and wag her tail like a good dog in the face of Hero's epic big-fat-jerk moment, but actually makes him work for it (hint, hint, Kristen Ashley). Recommend this to readers in need of antibiotic from vile, evil virus-books featuring whiny doormats and the sleazy men who wipe their muddy cleats on them.įantastic, full of Harlequinny goodness, read.

Because finding a strong, smart, likable heroine and a deliciously sexy Alpha male who is not above making an epic grovel is Gold and deserves to be celebrated. I feel like head-butting someone just to ease the irritation.Įven better the second time around. Like dafuq dude? You spent 70% of the book groveling and then you found out something, you decided to leave a sick baby and a heartbroken woman? And to top it all, when she discovered that Grace has a secret, he leaves her hanging because he was pissed. He keeps on pushing Grace to get back to him and I was itching to give him a kick in the nuts.

In reality, I was disappointed because of the bland characters, too cliche lines and watered down drama. Mitchell came in to help and they decided to give it a shot but because this is just 75% of the book, they still have some hurdles to pass. Then Grace's sister died, leaving her the guardian of a 7 months old baby. A year later,Mitchell wants Grace to be his girlfriend again. Because Mitchell is an ass and due to some understanding that could have been avoided if they just decided to talk and listen instead of judging, they broke up. What I got is annoyance and the bitter taste of disappointment.

I expected some major cry-fest for this book. 'I hate that I love you,' she whispered as a tear leaked from the corner of her eye.
