Friends Forever #4
The Russian's Furious Fiancée
A man everyone loves to hate, including his fiancée! Damon Kelopatros was the ultimate businessman, considering that all things in life should be reduced down to a logical thought process, including selecting a wife. After hiring a firm, he went after his selection with formidable focus. What he hadn’t anticipated was being intensely attracted to the woman he’d emotionlessly selected. Nor had he anticipated actually respecting and admiring her. These were things that he wanted for his mistress, but did not need in his wife – until he met Eva. And then he wanted all of her. He loved her smiles, her lush figure and her enchanting sense of humor. And he especially loved the way she fought him every step of the way. He found that winning her over was more of a challenge than he expected, but each victory was cherished more because it had been so difficult to win.
Eva couldn’t believe that a man would simply hire a firm to select a wife but Damon was the most emotionless, horrible, arrogant and reprehensible man she’d ever met. Unfortunately, he was also the only man who made her heart pound simply by a glance across the room, or by just a touch of his warm, strong fingers. How could she feel so much for a man so irritating? Then she discovered that the man had his softer side too. As she fought him over every detail, she also learned that the man wasn’t as cold as he wanted everyone to think he was. He was kind and gentle, sweet and caring. And she was falling in love with a man she’d originally thought was the devil.

Another lead female that just falls short and I read a lot of this authors books and that seems to be a trend she's got the submissive females down apt but her strong females all fall apart as the story goes. Either she's a strong women or she's submissive and lead female who says she's strong and does nothing to back that claim up just annoys me so much. And not one single issue between the couple is resolved they both have different views on some serious issues and suddenly you have sex and Ur in love and that stuff doesn't matter anymore?? Ugh so unbelievable

Really enjoyed this one.The couple was perfect together,only gripe is that it is missing an epilogue which would have made this perfect. 4.5****

I loved every debate
Thee two love birds were always at each other’s throats so I was pure genius how the author ended this love story! Their arguments or bates were adorable because the Russian always outsmarted the fiancée.

No... just no. The author was trying to go for an alpha male but the H just came off as overbearing and rapey!!! Te female lead couldn’t make up her mind. Please decide if you’re an independent and confident woman with views you can’t compromise on or a spineless submissive.

I had a serious misgivings as the book didn't reveal the heroine as a best selling author to the hero even at the end

Eva- the female lead was a total pushover. Very sad indeed. Damon totally railroaded her on every occasion. Eva seems to be spineless most of the time. I coukd not relate to her at all.

One of his busines associates offers his daughter, Eva Fontini, to be his make believe fiancee!!. Eva hates Damon! She is very outspoken and must agree for her father's sake. You must read this book to find out which hard headed person wins!

There are only a few books of her that I actually like. Some of them have potential to be a good like this one but she didn't use those potentials. The girl from the opera was useless. She never told him that she's a writer. Or her childhood.
