Can you say stupid? I thought you could. Holy crap, this is the sort of book that gives Harlequins a bad name. This girl was so stupid I kept flashing on a girl I knew in high school who got upset and cried when I tried to convince her Germany and the USSR were separate countries. Weak, whining, whimpering idiot with irrational motivations for everything she did.

This book just has one too many of the bad tropes, without the good characters to back it up and make you overlook it.
So the country bumpkin heroine goes to the city and becomes a junior secretary to the hero. While on a trip he's happy about securing a good deal and they sleep together. She was a virgin and he knows that country bumpkin virgins think that sex means relationship so he completely ignores her existance for months after that. Until she shows up and tells him she's pregnant and that...more

Aslında kitap gerek kurgu gerekse çeviri olarak kusurluydu. Lâkin bir hayli de heyecanlı ve tutkuluydu . Erkek karakter çok dengesizdi ama hikaye ilerledikçe ve sırlar ortalığa döküldükçe dengesizliğine hak verdim . Toplumun ''çirkin '' tâbir edilen yüzünü de epey gördüm . Hem yazar hem de çevirmen açısından kusurları görmezden gelin demiyorum ama okunmaya değer diyorum . Netîcede kimse 100 sayfacık bir iki kelam okudu diye ölmez değil mi ? Gözünüzden , gönlünüzden cimrilik yapmayın .

What prevents this crazyass trainwreck from getting a 4th star, which is something both Vampire Lover and Bought By Her Husband managed to do?
The hero.
Honestly, Diogo Serrador (I kept seeing "Drogo" the entire time I read it) was a flat fail. Yeah, he was a jerk who stomped on Ellie's self-esteem more than once, but she was doing plenty of self-stomping on her own. She didn't need his help, so his callous remarks were pretty dull and lame. There was no OTT for this guy IMO (unlike nearly every l...more

I don't even think there's a 1% chance I'll ever read this again. The guy is commanding, arrogant and almost entirely unmindful of Ellie's feelings. She has little redeeming qualities, either, lacking confidence and judgment. I constantly wanted to scream both of their heads off. The romantic happy-ending changes of character are not enough to make me change my mind about liking this book. Accidental Birthright was far better.

I...I don't know what just happened, here. I need to come back to this review once the crazy has settled in, and then give a rating that contains my enjoyment (such as it was) of the story and the sheer crackiness of it all. So for now I say: what.
Update, Nov. 2012: Just skimmed back through it and my reaction is still "...what." I'm settling on 1 star for now because while I couldn't help but marvel at this story, I also truly disliked it/the characters/the scenario/what.

While I liked this story very much, there were a few things I found that were obvious tell-tales. I love the chemistry between these two. Sure he kidnapped her from her wedding and took her to Rio, but its in a effort to protect her and his unborn twins.
Sometimes a title of a book doesn't do it justice, and in his case, it didn't. The "virgin mistress" part is true but I don't believe the rest suits. A truly great addition from Harlequin.

Great read by Jennie Lucas! This one had a perfect little epilogue. The ending upped this to the 5* for me. Up until the awesome ending it was sitting at a 4*. Some times I wanted to punch Diogo, the hero, but by the ending I loved him!
At first I wasn't happy with Diogo for throwing over Ellie in the beginning after their one night together. However, it worked for me because I was shown that even though he ignored her after their night together he always still wanted her and he didn't blame her...more

Some of this novel was definitely a cluster but overall I didn't mind it. In fact I thought it was pretty well written and enjoyed most of the romance factor between hero and heroine. The Timothy thing was dumb though, the police would of arrested him and he wouldn't of been a factor, so the story about him doesn't seem to plausible.
When I first read the back cover for this book, I thought it would be linked, or somewhat like Expectant Bride. The characters had the same names. I was very wrong. This story had action, romance, and suspense. This was a very good Romance. I love books where the Hero defends, and protects the one he loves.
the book is exciting and not so cliche as i expected. Once i started reading i couldn't stop it was just so captivating. In simpler words i enjoyed it.
Really cannot stand the heroine. This is one of those books which a stupid heroine ruined what potentially be a good, decent story.
Lol, with a title like that, how could I resist reading this book? :p This was a horrible, horrible book. Enough said.
Another challenge book...definitely not what I would read, but it fit the challenge perfectly!
nice one....
there is so much of me in the heroine.....

Sigh... sometimes I just sicken myself. And honestly, it's my own fault. Look at that title.

Jennie Lucas had a tragic beginning for any would-be writer: a very happy childhood. Her parents owned a bookstore, and she grew up surrounded by books, dreaming about faraway lands. Her mother read aloud to her in French when she was little; when she was ten, her father secretly paid her a dollar for every classic novel (Jane Eyre, War and Peace) that she read. As a chubby teenager, Jennie covere...more
