It was obvious the H was crazy jealous about her, but too much drama was happening for me to love. Dec 06, April Brookshire rated it liked it Shelves: harlequin. The heroine, Leigh, was definitely different than most other Harlequin heroines she was a cold bitch. She didn't mean to be cruel, but I felt really sorry for her fiance, Phil. Of course, if he's gonna let a woman yank him around emotionally, maybe he's asking for it.
Loved the hero, Matt, and the amusement he found in pissing the heroine off. He was perfect for her. Feb 07, Tia rated it liked it. Different type of novel for sure. The heroine was a bit over the top at times but the hero matched her evenly. Solid read. Dec 29, Persephone Zahariou rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites , 70ss. This one was really good. They deserve each other and they are equally matched. One good scene after the other.
The hero is absolutely hot and charming in a stalker crazy way. He's the guy you would call security on in real life but somehow works in the novel :P His lines are so cool and the things he does are soooo out there.
The heroine now I have to say that it was one book where This one was really good. I have to say that it was one book where I felt the MCs were really compatible. The scenes in the latter part in her apartment are sweet and heartwarming. Didn't expect that. I like that the heroine feels protective of the hero and gets into a mine-all-mine insane mentality of her own.
And the ending Apr 24, Adanna rated it did not like it. I hated both the H and h with a passion, I flung this book so far! The h was an insensitive, selfish wishy-washy bitch and the H was an egotistical moron. CL does her best sometimes to make women seem like helpless idiots, I mean she couldn't even stop blundering when the H touch her enough to tell the cop he was molesting her?
This was a frustrating read, the trifling weak ass bitch and the caveman deserved each other. Apr 17, MJ rated it really liked it. There's a lot of rapey behavior from the hero and the heroine's fiance: forced kisses, groping, throwing the heroine onto the bed, neck and face bruising, legit sexual assault that stops before penetration, etc. The hero's behavior from the get go was psychotic and punishable by law.
He follows the heroine to her hotel room. He waits for her by the elevator for her trip ba 3. He waits for her by the elevator for her trip back down to the lobby, pushes some button to make the elevator malfunction, and forces himself on her.
Mind you, they're strangers! He also at one point bitch slaps her so hard she goes flying. He never apologizes and she never holds him accountable. Overall, this book kept me interested and entertained albeit a little horrified.
It doesn't stand the test of time because the hero is crazy and stalkerific. I didn't have a problem with the heroine being cold emotionally. Like she told her fiance, Philip, she is who she is and if he loves her he needs to love her as she is. Although she technically cheated on him with the numerous makeout sessions she had with the hero, I'm going to place more of the blame on the hero because gf was basically assaulted every time. The roofie kisses did eventually invite equal participation but she never initiated it.
And she was very honest with her fiance with her feelings and expectations. Sep 20, Debby rated it it was amazing. I love, love, love the older Charlotte Lamb romance novels. Her romances are so not politically correct. They are all about dominant, sexy, handsome, powerful, rich, besotted men who will do anything to capture the woman and that seems to work for me, lol. Immediately at their first encounter in the elevator he followed her, so no coincidence that they happened to be in the same elevator he makes sure they are stuck in the elevayor and he starts making out with her.
So passionate. The book is I love, love, love the older Charlotte Lamb romance novels. The book is all about this chasing man who does not take no for an answer and who is so hot for her that he relentlessly pursues her. She is the cold, beautiful lady who tries to keep him at bay.
He breaks all her barriers. The dialogue between the man and woman is breathtaking. The book is so well written. His jealousy, his passion, his love, his lust for her, you can feel it.
He tells her she is his and he tells other men to back off. That fire in him is irresistible. Swept me off my feet. Books like this one are the reason why I like the older Harlequin books so much more than the modern books and why I keep re-reading them.
Oct 10, Elsa rated it it was amazing. It still works for me even though I can see the flaws now. Apr 28, Cat The Curious rated it really liked it Shelves: contemporary-ecopy. I loved this. The conflict and tension kept me engaged. The H pursues h and I loved every minute of it.
Mar 21, Ilor rated it it was ok. One of the worst books ever written by CL. Sep 13, More Books rated it really liked it. We could see the ending on page 1 but it was still good.
Jan 12, Booked rated it it was amazing Shelves: laced-with-revenged , irristable-jealous-heros. Then she met Mattieson Hume. From their first stirring encounter, she was powerless to keep him at bay. Although she hated him, his caresses flamed her with desire. How could she pursue her planned future as Philip's wife if Matt kept barging into her life?
It was time someone taught him a lesson. But some instinct warned her that Mattieson Hume was too dangerous to tangle with. For the first time, Leigh was not sure she would win. Leigh thought she could handle any man.
