Ohhh bueno, por donde empezar...
Kat es la mas pequeña de las hijas que el multimillonario inglés Oscar Baltfour tuvo con su segunda esposa. La joven de 22 años es todo lo que se espera que sea de una heredera. Viste a la última moda, mostrando su exuberante cuerpo, muestra una actitud despreocupada, cero compromisos y sin un objetivo en su vida mas que divertirse. Al menos es lo que todos ven...

I really hate books where one person humiliates the other person and then they still end up together. The hero of this book accused the heroine of dressing like a prostitute the first time he met her. The hero kept treating the heroine like a piece of @#%! after they had sex and of course he took her virginity buy was pissed off at her for doing it. The plot of this book had holes, it didn't really make any sense. Maybe if the setting had been the 1980s and not 2010, it would have been somewhat...more
Kat Balfour has always lead a rich and spoiled lifestyle. Finding herself on a yacht and having to work to earn her keep is bad, but having to work for Carlos Guerrero is bad beyond compare.
Carlos does not want to have anything to do with Kat, but he is indebted to her father and will force himself to endure her presence. Finding out that Kat is not as she seems makes things difficult.
Ok.

I enjoyed this more than you might think. It did get up my nose in about 50 different ways, especially the "she melts like an otter pop, he despises her for it" relationship. (Perhaps a little hypocritical of me, since I despise her for it too.) But it was a quick read, and kind of fun, if you're in the mood for a little humiliation and angst that you don't have to take too seriously.

It got better towards the end, but the first 40-50 pages were WTF. I'd say it was a solid 3-star read then, but some of the issues got to me in the beginning - especially how the hero was all FNAR humiliation. And then, of course, the heroine stuttered with almost everything she said. Her backbone needed to exist a bit more. I know it's Presents, but it just didn't enchant me the way some others did.
I enjoyed the first book in this series by Michelle Reid but unfortunately can't say the same for this one. It didn't help that a lot of the action took place on a boat and I know a lot about boats. The author clearly doesn't, and didn't bother to do her research. Wouldn't matter unless you know something about the sea. The story was trite and predictable. A disappointment.
I was going to give two stars to this book because the beginning is really annoying, and the main male character is an asshole. I mean, A BIG ASSHOLE.I don't like main characters like that. And Kat? she annoyed me too at the beginning. But the story ended really well. A good ending is always... well, good. Specially if the beginning of the book is not that good.
I actually found this story to be just the same 'formula' as the first one in this series. This story was quick to get into though, and flowed faster than the first, however it was in my opinion and okay kinda book bordering on 3 stars, but you can't give halvsies here so just 2.
Mediocre at its best. A story about a beautiful spoiled heiress being sent to a handsome gizillionaire to be wedded, bedded...and tamed!
I couldn't finish this book. I hated the heroine after only a few pages.

Its a little different than mills and boon typical contemporary romance. In all Balfour legacy series heroines are not poor and needy.
