I really enjoyed this one. The hero wanted the heroine as his mistress and since he knows that she was already someone else's mistress, he can't understand why she'd turn him down once she's free. Of course like almost all LG heroine's she is really a virgin who had been forced to pretend to be the other man's mistress.

They fought throughout the whole thing. Sometimes he would come out on top and sometimes she would. I can take a lot of bickering if the winning is not all on one side. She had him frustrated 6 ways from Sunday. He treated her emotionally like crap several times but you could always tell he was just clueless about what he really wanted and was refusing to change his mind. She didn't help him out any. She kind of went with the 'well if that's the way he feels, I'll just live up to his bad opinion.' There were a lot of fun scenes in this one if you like over the top melodrama which is of course what I read these for.

Okay I've read the 1st and 3rd of these books, now I have to hunt down the 2nd. ( )

I actually LOVED this book. For a Harlequin it was fun, fascinating, and pretty much sums up most of my favorite Harlequin themes. The heroine was feisty but realistically flawed which added a nice touch. The hero was sexy as hell, domineering, sweet, and just awesome. Their relationship started on misconception and chasing, fighting, all fun. It wasn't filled with sex or anything, but it was much steamier than most of the Harlequins I've been reading. There were genuinely giggle-out-loud scenes, serious sweet scenes, and just about everything else thrown in there. To be honest the back blurb didn't make this one sound appealing to me really, but I was pleasantly surprised. It just goes to reenforce you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover OR its synopsis. ( )
