The Spanish Tycoon's Temptress
Seven years ago, Elana Catelano fell hard for Gaston Montebello, a tall, handsome, merciless Spanish businessman who swept her off her feet. They had dreams, a future and everything seemed rosy. But one day, he disappeared from her life. She found out that they were finished when she saw pictures of him on the internet with other women. Her heart ached for the love she’d thought they’d shared and her mind focused on moving ahead, getting on with her life.
All of a sudden, Gaston is back! He was in her apartment and looking even more alluring than before! What does he want? Why is he here? Nothing makes sense anymore. She just knew that she couldn’t trust him with her heart again. It had been too painful the last time, she wouldn’t put herself through that again.
Gaston was stuck. His father was dying and his last request was to see this one book again. Unfortunately, the book was being held hostage by a man Gaston hated. The terms of its surrender? Marriage to Elana Catelano – the woman who had cheated on him seven years ago and ripped his heart out. Somehow, he had to get the book back but he would be merciless in his pursuit, refusing to trust the woman who had callously thrown away something precious.

"The Spanish Tycoon's Temptress" is the story of Elena and Gaston.
A second chance romance, between a couple who were separated by a deliberate misunderstanding, and reunite thanks to the hero. The reason for the confusion- a scheming father- who coincidentally is also the source behind the hero's second pursuit. Ofcourse, our heroine has literally withered away in the seven years- barely eating or cleaning- while our hero has slept with n number of women because of the heroine's betrayal. But did our smart cookie ever confront the heroine or try to clear up the miscommunication? Nope. He just walked away until he was coerced to come back.
I did not like him hoeing around while she sat woefully withering away.
Unsafe
2/5

3 1/2 stars, Gaston and Elana were in love and had plans for the future till Gaston was shown picture of Elana and another man. Elana couldn't have been happier she was with the man she loved till he left and she saw news paper pictures of him and other woman. Gaston and Elana haven't been the same seven years have gone buy since they broke up. Gaston has focussed on work and woman, woman who will never compare to Elana. Elana has thrown herself into her research and her schooling and hasn't gotten over Gaston. Now Gaston is being forced back into Elana's life because of a book that his sick dad wants at all cost and the book is owned by Elana's dad. Gaston will get the book back at any cost, he just never thought his heart would get involved. Elena is stunned to see Gaston again after all these years and quickly finds out her feels haven't ever changed. This was a pretty good book, It was a very light and quick read but I enjoyed myself. I wish That Elana had made Gaston and her father suffer more but overall I really enjoyed The Spanish Tycoon's Temptress.

The asshole left her because her father showed him a picture of her hugging a man. She was devastated even after 7 years. His father told him to get a book from her father. So her father put a condition for him to marry her. He proposed to sponsor her research grant. When he found out that she was still virgin, he was shocked. She went hiding for two days but when she came to office on Monday, he pushed her to admit that she still loves him. Then they get married. She didnt make an issue even when her father admitted that he blackmailed him to marry her. Huh...

Enjoyable but really took a long time - almost the entire book for the hero and heroine to finally get together.

After seven years
One angry old man, a picture and lack of communication ... enough to end a love story?
But doesn't love conquer all?
