Best Lynne Graham so far. So I'm a Lynne Graham fan. Some of her books I like really well. Some have been stinkers. This one is my favorite of all that I've read from her so far.

Heroine - Betsy. She had a job she liked. She had ambition and future plans. She was the farthest thing from a doormat. She found him attractive. When he called her on it, as those ass hat heroes do, she just said words to the effect 'surely you can't be surprised. You must be used to it but I can admire a painting without wanting to buy it.' She punched holes in his super ego throughout the book and never let him get away with any crap. After sleeping with him the first time when he did that HP hero thing of saying condescendingly 'now don't go falling in love with the awesomeness that is me,' she told him 'oh don't worry, I'm in love with someone else.' He practically went apesh*t. She basically had him reeling throughout the book. Strongest LG heroine I've read and one of the strongest of any HP I've read.

The hero, Cristos, was super rich and super hot and super conceited. He didn't know how to handle her and couldn't believe how she treated him. But once he decided he wanted her nothing stood in his way. You could tell he loved her and was trying to do his best for her. He never got over the conceited thing but he was never mean or nasty to her.

One of the best aspects of the book was that they talked to each other. Whenever something came up, she would call him on it instead of getting her feelings hurt and running away. There were some misunderstandings between them but they seem realistic ones.

Writing as always with LG is well done, plotting is tight, etc.

Can't recommend highly enough to HP readers. ( )
