Extremely well written and detail oriented but a little slow for my liking. The mc’s interact and discuss their past way too much and have a lot of family baggage. The H is alpha but in a nice way. He isn’t ruthless or cruel to the h who was nice and sweet and had crumbling confidence issues thanks to her controlling mother.
The h is the owner of a dilapidating castle which she inherited when her mother passed away. Her father had left them early on so the mother had to save face and pretend like all was good when actually their finances were depleting.
The h’s mom was haughty and trained her to be class conscious and not mingle with their help. The H is basically the ground keeper’s son. He had developed the hots for the h but had to keep his distance. He judges the h to be just like her mother and hence dislikes her in his heart.
They meet again when the h wants to sell the castle and the H is the prospective buyer. Tables have turned and the H has now made his mills and can buy whatever he wants. Tbh his journey to riches was unconvincing esp when he whined about it all the time.
I found both the MCs boring. There was some back and forth in the beginning of the book but it all waned out pretty quick. The H was consistent with his jibes but the h didn’t have anything fiery to say to him except her woes and reiteration of her miserable life with her mother.
I found the plot to be choppy. I couldn’t quite imagine the forced angst. Also can’t remember how the H made that much money so soon. He had an unattractive habit of excessive thinking and I don’t find that very alpha. Same goes for his incessant chatter and digging out grievances from his past. Have read better stories from AG but I will repeat that she truly puts her heart into writing.

Sorry but this one was disappointing.
The old fashioned, class ridden tropes were awful and made me want to vomit. If there are still people around who believe the others are inferior to them, because of the class into which they were born, then I personally neither want to know them nor to read about them - not even in a Mills and Boon fairy story.
When the heroine thought to herself, that it was best that the hero believed that she thought he was inferior - rather than she tell him the truth - it made me utterly sick, for me, the heroine never redeemed herself.
In the past, the heroine has been an utter bitch towards the hero who was the son of her mum’s’ gardener.
Yes, she’d been manipulated by her demon spawn mother but she wasn’t stupid and by the time she was 16 - she knew better.
I really liked some parts of this - but the heroine never came to life for me. It won’t stop me reading this author because I usually adore her books. This just wasn’t for me.

As usual Abby Green has delivered a love story that delivers on emotion and character interaction.
My only complaints are that there were not as many detailed on-page love scenes as I would usually expect (but that’s just my opinion of course) and that the ending and “love reveal” seemed a little rushed. I would really have liked to have experienced Vidal’s moment of realising that he loved Eva and couldn’t do without her, rather than him just turning up and telling her.
An enjoyable Mills and Boon read.

Heroine had a very sad backstory, did not deserve the hero’s treatment, such a depressing read.

this was really, really good! I like a good 'hero seeks revenge' story and Abby Green delivered. The heroine had a terrible family but the hero had a loving family and he was in fact a romantic at heart but still a super handsome and sexy ALPHA hero! I loved these 2 and the sweet epilogue Abby wrote for us and them! 💗

It was ok, a hp with some angst due to misunderstandings and failed communication.
For once the heroine wasn’t a pushover or a doormat, she always stood her ground.
She’s from old noble family and her mother is quite the snobby bitch, the hero is the gardener’s son and he spends his holidays helping his father to pay his studies.
The heroine’s mother treats both of them awfully and the heroine is not better. She’s a teenager and she’s infatuated with the hero but she is also a very abused child, first when she witnessed her fathers traumatic abandonment, then living alone with her paranoid mother for years, even studying at home without any company of peers.
Her mother prevents her from talking to anyone and so every interaction she has with the hero is quite brusque and painful. She’s dismissive and rude, but it’s only her way to defend herself against a rejection.
There are many ways for a child to be abused. It’s not only physical abuse, or neglect or yelling. There’s also the abuse that prevents children from those experiences that are sane and natural for their growing. The abuse of keeping a child confined into a house, no matter how grand and rich it is. The abuse of telling a child not to love any man and not to talk to anyone.
This heroine has been abused by her mother who should have been treated by a psychiatrist for her depression and paranoia.
The hero of course doesn’t understand this and being young himself thinks she’s a lucky girl who’s being spoiled and bitchy.
So years later he’s back rich and powerful to see if he can humiliate her in any way.
She’s impoverished now, and her mother is dead. She’s a maid in a hotel and he offers her to pretend to be his fake fiancée so he can finalize a merger and he will pay her debts and buy her ruined castle.
Of course he’s always wanted her so he tells her he’ll enjoy having sex with her if she’s willing, and being the prick he is, he’s sure she will.
Grump.
The heroine, who’s being sensible and practical, accepts the deal and so they spend some weeks together in every lavish way they can. Of course she surrenders to him after a few days.
Pity.
I wish she had made him wait more.
He starts understanding that she’s different from the spoiled brat he thought she was and, even if he told her it’s only business and sex, they fall in love with each other. There’s some angst in the end when she’s dumped because he wants to get rid of her before it’s to late but alas, it already is and he’s back with the tail between his legs to declare his love for her.
Ok, good things first.
He’s the first to say I love you.
She’s not the usual whiny brat, she’s sensible and proud.
She doesn’t make a scene when he dumps her.
He believes in love.
What I didn’t like.
Usual double standard. She’s a virgin, while he sleeps around. Ok, he’s a bit older but yet, why didn’t she even have one lover?
She is noble and well bred yet the only job she is able to find is room service? Not even public relationships? Or something related to her birthright? Ok she has not many social skills yet she’s well bred. It’s a little bit tiring the fact that those heroine can only be maids or waitresses.
I loved the angst due to the misunderstandings, the hero misjudged her because of her bratty behavior and was unable to understand her true living hell. And her father who tried to pimp her out was heartbreaking. The heroine was strong and proud, she did what she could given her situation. A bit of TBS, but it was for both of them. And the amazing sex with the virgin was fun. Best sex of the hero’s life. Yeah right.

The main characters of this emotionally charged book were well portrayed by Abby Green. The trauma and emotional abuse suffered by the female protagonist were so raw and made me shed a tear or two. Vidal's (male lead) dilemma of who the real Eva is (female lead) and the unraveling of the layers of the female character will keep you hooked throughout the story. Not so many side characters. The story revolves around these two characters, with a supporting cast of FL's mother and ML's father. And the beautiful epilogue was perfect.

I have slowed down my Presents reading for a variety of reasons, but I made time for this one after I read a glowing review.
The review was correct. This is special.
Also, it contains one of the happiest of HEA I've ever read. I may have even shed a tear.

I love a revenge romance!
This started off a little slow but the second half of the novel was more angsty and sexy! I enjoyed Vidal and Eva's romance. The epilogue was super cute and I would definitely read more from this author.

The beginning was a bit slow and I almost put it but I’m glad I didn’t. I enjoyed the slow burn and the fact that it took a while before they slept together. Like many HPs these days, a bit too much introspection but these 2 found a way to communicate. Loved the epilogue
