Beautiful nineteen year old Diana was the only child of rich and titled parents.
At an art exhibition she met a young man in his mid-twenties. He was an Electronics student.
She followed him around the whole time, but to Diana's disappointment he left the Gallery without asking to see her again.
Diana met him "by chance " a second time at the Gallery. She invited him to a concert that she was attending in a few days, as she had two tickets. He reluctantly agreed.
This time she learnt his name, Adam Brooks.
A day before the concert she stopped at a gas-station in her luxury car accompanied by her best friend. The attendant was no other than Adam.
Embarrassed Diana pretended she did not know him.
The next day he stood her up at the concert.
She went to see him the following day. He told her to stick to her own kind so she won't be embarrassed. He called her a spoilt little rich girl.
She apologised and managed to get him to meet the next evening after his classes.
On this meeting he told her that he was twenty-six. He had no family, in fact he was brought up in a children's home. He was very poor, but he was ambitious and wanted to succeed and make money.
He rarely dated as he wanted to save his money.
He said that he dug ditches in the past, mended roads, cleaned sewers.
Being in the garage was coming up in the world for him.
They kissed and they both confessed that it was the first time they felt like that.
She invited him to dinner to meet her parents.
Afterwards he told her they really had no future together, they were from different worlds, he had nothing to offer her.
Diana did not accept that. She was determined to pursue him.
She visited him at the gas station again. He was not happy to see her but he agreed to meet her after work. They ended up making love at Diana's initiative.
Though it was a wonderful experience for both, Adam expressed regret afterwords.
He said that nothing had changed. He couldn't afford her and not just financially.
He didn't want emotional attachments.
For the next month Diana was chasing after him but he was adamant. He kept telling her to leave him alone.
Another month passed. Diana discovered she was pregnant.
She decided the baby was her key card.
He was less than happy when she told him. When she refused his suggestion of abortion he told her they were getting married.
I have never known a heroine been so much in love with the Hero. It was so intense. Almost stalkerrish. Or maybe not 'almost '. She was really obsessed with him, not taking no for an answer.
They started their married life in his bedsitter that was small and basic, situated in a poor neighbourhood.
He was very proud and wouldn't accept any help from her father.
He avoided meeting her parents and friends.
They were very passionate with each other and Adam told her he loved her.
He was working long hours and attended night school and studying at home.
There were tensions and they would argue. During one of those arguments Diana had an accident and lost the baby.
Adam was guilt ridden.
Then her father had a stroke and Diana had to spend a lot of time with her parents.
The conflict between the newly-weds intensified.
It was decided for all to go on a six week cruise to Australia to assist her father's recovery.
Adam did not have time for such a trip, and gave Diana an ultimatum.
It was either him or her parents.
She told him she loved him but she loved her parents too and right now they needed her.
He ordered her to pack and go.
While on the cruise her father died.
She and her mother returned back to England, but Adam had disappeared, and due to her father's partner mischief, Diana and her mother lost their assets.
The final blow came when she received divorce papers from Adam's lawyer.
SPOILERS
Six and a half years later Diana lived in a small flat, ran a domestic cleaning agency and her mother just passed away.
She was poor, lonely and sad.
Diana met an old rich school friend, Claudia, who was in America for years and just returned back.
She asked Diana to share her Mayfair flat with her and she reluctantly agreed.
Claudia often talked about her English boyfriend of six months who was a wealthy businessman in the States for years. His name was Adam Morgan.
He was extending his business to England and was due to come back sometime in the future.
Claudia kept saying how gorgeous, passionate and loaded he was and how crazy she was about him.
Diana never dated since Adam's desertion. She knew he loved her then, though not enough to make allowances for her youthful mistakes and not enough for him to appreciate the loyalty she had felt towards her parents.
Two months after she moved in with Claudia, Adam Morgan returned, and the blood had drained from Diana's face when she saw him. He was one and the same as her Adam.
He was shocked too.
They did not reveal their former relationship to Claudia.
Adam and Claudia went out to dinner that night. She returned a couple of hours later.
Adam was tired and didn't want to spend the night with her, she said.
Claudia told Diana that Adam used to be poor working at a petrol-station when a rich businessman from America took a liking to Adam. He invited him to go work for him in the States.
Eighteen months ago his boss died and left everything to him.
After that Adam changed his surname to that of his benefactor.
Claudia announced that on the weekend Adam and her were going to the countryside.
She booked a Hotel for two nights for them.
Diana urged Adam to let Claudia know about their previous relationship. He agreed.
The Adam she had married no longer existed, in his place was a sophisticated and successful man.
They had both changed, matured and in Adam's case, found another love.
One night Claudia barged in Diana's bedroom. She'd just found out that Diana was Adam's ex-wife.
Claudia told her that Adam took all the blame for the break-up.
"He says he was too hard on you and made no allowances for your being a spoilt and innocent nineteen year-old. But he was flattered that you fancied him and he'd wanted you. Once he realised he'd made a mistake, he cut and ran. Adam said his marriage was a non-event. "
Diana thought that she had been the one to make the running, the begging. The many occasions she had forced him to see her, the ploys she had adopted, the way she had trapped him into going to bed with her.
Yes, their marriage was a non-event for him. He had married her because of the baby. It was as simple and painful.
Diana was invited by a potential other man on an excursion. They ended up at the same country house as Adam and Claudia.
Seeing Adam in purely social surroundings with his urbane manner and effortless small talk showed Diana how far removed he was from the chip on the shoulder man she had married.
Adam joined Diana in the pool of the country house and then he carried her to the pool house and they came together in an explosion of passion.
He told her she was the only woman who satisfied him completely.
Later Adam and Claudia left for their Hotel.
Diana had a sleepless night thinking that he was now with Claudia.
On Monday Claudia returned. She kept saying how passionate Adam was the last couple of days at their Hotel. He had also given her a ring.
The next day Adam met Diana and they had the biggest fight. She accused him of making love to her to punish her for putting her parents before him all those years ago.
She asked him where was his love when her father was ill, when he died, when they lost everything.
He said she was always thinking the worst of him. That her life's purpose was to hate him.
She accused him of proposing to Claudia.
He said "Asking Claudia to marry me on Sunday when l'd had you on Saturday should show Claudia how l rated you ". Ouch!!!
That was the last time Diana saw him. She heard that he went back to the States followed by Claudia.
One day Claudia called her to say that they were getting married.
A few weeks later Adam reappeared in her life. He said he was never engaged to Claudia.
At one stage he considered asking the other woman to marry him, but after seeing Diana again he had too many doubts. Those doubts became certainty after they made love.
After Claudia and he left the country house that Saturday weeks ago, he told the other woman that he was in love with Diana, but she insisted they go to the Hotel anyway as it would give her happy memories. He felt guilty so he stayed at the Hotel that weekend in separate rooms.
When Diana left for the cruise all those years ago, he was hurt and jealous.
He couldn't offer her anything and refused himself to have any contact with her.
He was wrong, he admitted it and regretted it.
Diana was the only woman he would ever love and he would never forgive himself for all the misery he caused her.
He asked her to marry him again and let him spend the rest of his life making it up to her.
What was great about having money, he said, was that now he could give her everything she wanted.
She said all she ever wanted was him.
He said he knew that now.

I was surprised by how much I liked this. Both characters were horrible, btw. The heroine was a spoiled rich girl who pursued the hero, even though she was "not his kind of woman." She was very immature and it was no surprise that their hasty marriage fell apart after she had a miscarriage. The hero showed *his* immaturity when he gave her an impossible ultimatum and didn't follow up on her after their separation.
The angst really ratchets up when the H/h meet again years later. The heroine lost everything after the hero left her and has pulled herself up by her bootstraps. She ends up being his housekeeper and the hero makes it worse when he letting her think he's engaged to one of her old friends from boarding school. By this time the heroine has grown up a lot.
This is one of those non-stop angst fests and the hero's actions look pretty bad. If you buy his explanations, you'll buy the HEA. I don't think they ever stopped caring for one another, which is why I believed their HEA. They got their hooks into each other when they were really young and no one else would do.

Re Not His Kind of Woman - Roberta Leigh brings the angst and pain in this trainwreck of a drama and a reversal of fortune story.
The book starts with a 19ish h who is spoiled, rich and has smothering, doting, demanding leech parents. She freely admits she is motivated to do nothing and she meets the young, handsome, orphaned and working for a living H at the Tate Museum where they have a difference of opinion over Pop Art.
She is inane and he is brusque and blows her off. But she is now obsessed and can't stop thinking about him. Flirting ensues, she asks him out and he accepts. Then she meets him at a local petrol station when her car runs out of petrol and she has one of her society friends with her. She is embarrassed by his lowly job and pretends he is just some guy and doesn't introduce her friend.
So he stands her up. But this h is determined and finally they actually connect for a date. Then she seduces him and ends up preggers. She is determined to marry him and let daddy support them both. He is determined to finish his education and make something of himself after being raised in care homes.
They marry, she miscarries and then her parents demand that she attend a six week cruise with them. The mother is clearly the smothering, depressive leech type and her father is looking kinda peaky. The H tells the h if she goes, he goes off and she has to choose. The h chooses her parents and her father dies on the cruise.
The H is gone tho and the h's mother has a breakdown in Sydney. By the time the h and her mother return to England, divorce papers have been served, the H is done. Her father's business partner also lost the entire business and the h's father's estate is responsible for the debts left after the partner shot himself.
The h has no skills, an invalid mother and no money. She starts cleaning and cooking for a living, (she finds she is a fast learner,) then her mother dies. The h finally gets her self sorted and gets a business course under her belt, a list of really wealthy clients and starts an exclusive home help agency that only caters to single people.
Six years on the h is doing pretty well, tho she still has to fill in for her staff in various homes to keep her reputation for reliability. Enter the H and her ex BFF from Swiss Boarding School. The h ends up as the H's home help and living temporarily with the ex BFF.
The Ex BFF pretends to be her friend still while chasing after the H. In fact the OW ex BFF claims she and the H are engaged, she is flaunting a huge ring and goes way OTT on exclusive intimate info to rub the h's face in the OW's and the H's relationship.
(The H met a guy who owned a store and he took that store global, so now he is really rich and the h is still struggling, but I actually thought she would have gotten there on her own, this is HPlandia tho and no one leaves RL's province without feeling the angst.)
Naturally the H isn't denying anything and in fact he is piling on his own little digs about the OW being better than the h. Over the course of the next interminable four chapters we get the full angsty emo wrecki drama of the h still loving the H, pining endlessly and the OW and the H rubbing in the salt on that open wound as the H, OW, H and the token RL OM all go inspect a Grand Estate that the H wants to set up for a company executive retreat with a country stately home atmosphere.
The H also does his bit for gropey handsy roofie kissing and a few shags in the pool house before sleeping with and proposing to the OW too. (This H likes multiple doses of the varietal lady buffet. Tho the h does date one of the H's employee's this is a classic RL endless drama triangle and the torment and longing just leap off the page. )
You could say the h truly suffers for her prior behavior and she isn't coming out of this a winner either. The H demands all the details of what happened after their split and then has the hypocrisy to tell the h if she had contacted him, he would have helped. (The bitter irony is that the h did try several times to contact him, but he told his lawyers deny all contact and refuse to pass messages along.)
Eventually the H claims that the OW knows exactly how things are between him and the h because he proposed to her the day after the pool house shag fest with the h - which should tell the h who really counts with him. The h is hurt and mortified and rents a mews house from the OM to have a place to live.
Then we get the h's other BFF doing the "fight for your piece of slime H trope," but the h manages to resist the temptation. The EX OW BFF calls up to discuss her wedding plans and the h decides to become the staffing and service manager for the new English executive retreat center for the H's company.
The staff the h hired to run the retreat ask her to come down and check things out before they officially open, The h, who now believes the H and OW are married as her OM has to go cover for the H for a month in the States, decides to go do a final check.
It won't surprise anyone that the H shows up and explains that the OW is married, but not to him and he never proposed. (Supposedly, he just gave her a big hunk of jeweled rocks as a guilt present for not sleeping with her after he met the h again.) The allegations that he shagged the h and then made it with the OW are false, cause once he saw the h again, she was the only woman he wanted and he is sorry that he cut her off when she needed his help with her family.
The h is all in lust and doesn't care, blanket forgiveness all around and the past is the past and they have some serious lurve mojo force to expend for another dubious but typical RL HEA.
It was angsty, it was dramatic and the OW was really, really good at getting her digs in. But overall the H is a liar and not reliable and really the h needed to finish getting her business going and then meet a better class of people.
This one was not my kinda HPlandia voyage, but mileage varies. So don't be afraid to give it a go for an angstfest trainwreck of an HP outing.

It was angsty, it was dramatic and the OW was really, really good at getting her digs in. But overall the H is a liar and not reliable and really the h needed to finish getting her business going and then meet a better class of people.
This one was not my kinda HPlandia voyage, but mileage varies. So don't be afraid to give it a go for an angstfest trainwreck of an HP outing.

i was actually hooked at the start but as it went on, we saw how adam was an ass. he actually cost her her virginity but did not want her after dat. then when he learnt of the consequences, he wanted her 2 have an abortion. he made her life miserable, left her 4 no good reason, got a divorce, did not bother nor worry abt her 4 6years. he's moved on. he's actually planning 2 marry heroine's friend, claudia. diana is really the weakest heroine i ever read abt. this was one-sided love, diana made all the moves, all the pursuing, all the compromises. adam actually told claudia dat he let himself be drawn in by diana bcoz of the sex, bcoz he had wanted her so much but then he realised his mistake n decided 2 move on. n i think dat was the truth, he was in lust, nthg more. diana was really pitiful, how the mighty have fallen. i felt very bad 4her n never wish 4 any1 2 be in her place. she did not deserve 2 become adam's servant, i mean doing his household chores bcoz she was not a bitch in the 1st part. i dunno y the author chose 2 make karma get back at her. in other books where heroine had been bad n really spoiled, this wud have made sense but not in this one. i think she did her best back then n was quite mature abt it. if ders some1 who acted bad, it was adam. he was selfish, proud n too full of himself. it's him who shud have suffered n fallen not diana. really bad read, left a bad taste in my mouth

The H and h are both despicable.
6 years before the book starts, they were married. After the divorce the H has never looked back. He has never taken the effort to find out if she is alright. So much so for his ‘I love you’.
Anyway, they meet again because the h is now the housekeeper of the H. The H is in a relationship with an old friend of the h. It’s a small world apparently.
The h and H have sex, even though he is still in a relationship with her old friend. After the sex, he goes to lay in a hangmat with his girlfriend in the garden as if nothing happened. Such cheaters. 🤮
And did he shower after the sex with the h before he went straight to his girlfriend? Ugghh, so dirty.
Anyway, later on it turns out that the old friend had lied to the h that she was engaged to the H. The h wonders how that OW could have been so mean to lie to her about the engagement. Well stupid woman, you had sex with her boyfriend, what else do you expect.

"Not His Kind Of Woman" is the story of Adam and Diana.
In this heartbreaking tale of love and second chance romance, the typical rich woman/poor man trope takes a drastic turn when situations are reversed, and separated souls are reunited.
This is a VERY angsty read with tempestuous and stubborn leads, who are passionately in love, yet circumstances and their own ego do not let them relent to each other. I cried, laughed and wanted to smack sense into both of them multiple times. There is a LOT of drama and tearjerking moments in this one, but all make it an overall satisfying read.

January 23, 2024Don't like to rate it as I only made it about quarter of the way through. The vibe didn't feel right (the era that felt like an off kilter mixture of the 50s and the 70s? the H who didn't seem all that H, the h, idk something just felt off). I'm a little jaded in the HP palate at the moment so it might very well be me not the book.

I liked this story, it felt very realistic in the sense that no one was too good to believe or soo bad that they seem like the wicked witch of the west. Both the hero and heroine change over the course of the story in a way that is realistic with what they went through.
At the start of the story the heroine was a spoilt rich girl that got and took what she wanted while the hero was an orphan working hard to change his circumstances. She wants him and the way she made it happen showed how spoilt and kinda selfish she was. Well she got him and realised that if you get someone like that you will end up with a reluctant husband. The hero worked too much and studied to much to really be there for her and her parents were too needy of her to really let her have a life of her own. So when he put in the ultimatum i was not surprised. Then in 6 years she looses both parents and becomes poor and starts her own business, he gets rich. When they meet again the ow lies which is understandable because why not and their attraction is still there. They are both more mature and willing to understand each other this time around.

I basically liked this one even though it had its flaws. The hero definitely should have checked up on the heroine during their 6-year hiatus. One spoiler regarding cheating, for those who want it -- The descriptions of sex in this one were pretty hokey, and the ending is very contrived (. Anyway, overall this was a decent read though maybe not everyone's cup of tea.

Despite hating Adam's character
July 16, 2024
This book was angsty from start to finish and that alone earned it the 4 stars.
I wont go into details, but this is mainly a second chance story (even though the book starts with their first meeting and how it all went downhill).
My only complaint is the separation time: six and a half years which is too long in my book.
I can live with 3 years if you hold me at gunpoint, anything longer than that hurts me (yes, hurt is the word). It also makes the celibacy more believable and shows that the couple could not live apart for too long, otherwise it just means they moved on and where is the romance in that?
Trigger warning: Hero was not celibate during their estrangement (reason I knocked off a star). The h was.

I enjoyed this way too much! Their background story was amazing, the character development was terrific and the OW drama, perfect.
I adored the MFC and I just wished it would have been longer!

Words I have sooooooo many words for this book. Reading it was like reading about a car crash and a dumpster fire colliding and you can’t look away. So both the hero and heroine are pretty terrible and should not end up together. I will say the heroine did improve! The hero just changed why he was such a dick. Okay I know showing a character throwing herself at someone is meant to show “how young and obvious she is” but that was her ONLY defining trait in the beginning. Heroine sees hero and turns into a crazy clingy loon! Everyone, hero included, try to explain ‘hey he is nice but you are young(19 but acting 12), take a second and grow up and then see where you are at.’ This chick won’t leave him alone, I’m surprised he had a job and still went to school cause she wouldn’t let him breath. I don’t understand the hero in the beginning because this thirsty girl is all in his face, rejects her but still dates her, goes to her parents’ house, still sees her after breaking up with her at least twice. But our heroine miscarried, lost her husband and her dad died all within a few months(it seemed not sure of the actual time), and she is still standing. The hero was nuts about her family. Instead of trying to help her grow into an adult he tries dragging her away from her home and family who love her, accept him, and want to help them start their lives. Did we need the mean roommate? She was exactly who the hero thought the heroine would be, but there he is dragging her around. But our heroine has grown up, lost another parent(one who had some serious health issues that the hero didn’t give a rats ass about), lost all her money(this was some author magic bs just saying), and is starting her business and doing really well. In comes “hero” who got successful by getting some “gasp” help. Who knew?! Won’t leave the heroine alone. Offered her money a few times, no joke. “Sorry for fleeing the country after you miscarried our child and your father died, we cool though if you take my money right?” In this story the hero has NOTHING to offer the heroine. There is no reason for her to get back with him! The evil roommate causing trouble. But shocking what she said wasn’t true and the hero says they should get remarried, and for some inexcusable reason she agrees and the story ends....hope they get REdivorced...just saying. If you are into hate reading, read this. If not:skip it.

Timing is everything.
Adam Brooke and Diana Farrow were born into different worlds. He was a working stiff from the wrong side of the tracks, and she was the only child in a privileged home.
But when they were alone together, they stopped caring about backgrounds. Unfortunately, the rest of the world wouldn’t let them forget. And finally the differences forced the young lovers apart.
Six years later, they meet again, their roles reversed. But one thing hasn’t changed.

Read this mainly for the angst and the chemistry – and there's plenty of it. The characters pretty much deserve each other (that's neither a compliment or an insult), though the heroine essentially bore the brunt of the dissolved relationship. I don't think the hero grovelled enough at the end!

This book is one that might give you second thoughts about finishing at first, since neither the H norm the h appears very likeable. She comes across as a spoiled entitled rich girl while he seems a working-class guy with a giant chip on his shoulder. But it's worth sticking with it, as there are some surprising twists.
For one thing, it's the h pursuing the (reluctant) H, when it's usually the other way around. Normally it's the h with doubts and reservations and the H won't take no for an answer. In this case, despite the H reminding her of the difference in their backgrounds, social class, financial situations, etc., (not to mention the definite disapproval of her parents and her own initial embarrassment when she discovers he works at a gas station and pretends she doesn't know him) she just will NOT listen and can't keep away from him! Her immature actions can be excused because she's only 18 at the start of the book, but she really goes overboard with her determination to seduce him, despite being a virgin. Soon, her status changes to pregnant, and then wife, all too soon!
The H, despite his intense desire for the h, was determined to keep her at a distance, tried to avoid her, encouraged her to stick with her own crowd and date the guys in it, and after giving in to his feelings, the first thing he said when she told him she was pregnant was that he'd go with her when she had the abortion. What does that tell you???
The whole time of their short-lived marriage puts your sympathy with her, as he could be very stubborn and unrelenting, resenting even little things like her buying a microwave or wanting something a bit special to eat once in a while. He takes a job with her dad because of the baby, then quits it because of his pride, and never seems to want to give an inch and keeps criticizing her, showing how much resentment that he has for her privileged life, which she gave up for him.
An argument over a cruise (with the H being more stubborn than ever) leads to another plot twist: the H walks out on the h and disappears! Usually, these books have the h leaving over some silly misunderstanding blown out of proportion and then she manages to vanish for several years, and the H can't find her. This time, the h had no idea where he was, only that his lawyer made it clear he wanted a divorce and no contact with her at all.
When the story continues - six years later - she's twenty-five, had one too many obstacles thrown at her (miscarriage, her failed marriage, her father's stroke and then death, the collapse of his business and financial holdings, her mother's mental breakdown and eventual death, enough to make anyone go berserk, but she instead makes a new life for herself and starts her own housekeeping business. (She's a good example of that old adage: "When life hands you some lemons, make some lemonade.") When she reconnects with a friend from her socialite days, who can't wait for her to meet her boyfriend, and fills in for one of her employees on a job housekeeping for a wealthy bachelor, the two men are one and the same, and guess who that man is?????
So, the friend becomes the OW (who relishes telling the h how much fun she and the H have in bed, both before and after she knows he's the h's ex-husband) and soon the H's executive assistant will become the OM. Yes, it's complicated, a bit silly, but still entertaining.
Yet another twist is the H at times having a bad case of the snarks (usually reserved for the h, when she resents their feelings for the H and shows it with petty remarks). He says something about expecting someone with cordon bleu skills, not burnt offerings, and other nasty comments. Without knowing details of her life in their years apart, he says things that are pretty crummy, to the point where you want to give him a good butt kick, where he'll need to sit on a pillow for a week or two!
In contrast, the h didn't feel anger or resentment for their status reversal (he's wealthy, she works for a living) and was happy for the good fortune (and lucky connection) that made him a business tycoon, successful beyond his wildest dreams.
There were some things that could have been done without, like the h's foolishness for drinking too much champagne back when she was pregnant (and shouldn't have had any at all), because she was hurt that the H stubbornly didn't join her at a friend's party. Then there was the H seducing her, despite the OW/girlfriend (He said he "wanted to be inside her so badly", isn't that romantic? UGH!) and the h letting him without putting up much resistance! Not to mention a ridiculous conversation they have afterward, each hiding their true feelings (and she thinking he had got engaged to the OW, which he doesn't deny)'He leaves the country (yet again), and she continues dating the OM, even though she knows he's serious about her and she can't return those feelings. (She decides to date other men too, in an effort to discourage him - and help her forget the H - but knowing how he felt about her, she should have just broken off with him altogether, not kept stringing him along.)
The H sure strung the OW along, even though she displays typical OW behavior and wasn't above lying and manipulating. In this case, however, you can't altogether blame her, since she was the H's girlfriend, and things were going okay before the h came back into his life.
At least she winds up with someone new, which should have happened for the OM as well.
The romantic HEA somehow doesn't ring true; it was too rushed, and after a ton of misunderstandings (as well as a three-month separation), it just fell flat.
The book has its good points (especially the way both the H and h built new lives for themselves career-wise) but there was much room for improvement.

The blurb made this book sound way better than what we actually got in the story. I was loving our spoiled rich girl, who was loving this proud poor man. But it quickly made me depressed. He was an ass! The blurb made me believe that he loved her.
3 stars because RL took her time to create the story, showing us how they met & got into an “entanglement” rather than opening up the story years later with flashback.

This is a second chance romance…sort of.
It’s about two people who meet, fall in love and then thru lack of communication, secrets and “class” discrepancy part with bitterness.
This book is about their meeting again and their journey to get their HEA. Their time apart changed them and made them want what the threw away.

The Hero did not grovel nearly enough! Other than that I enjoyed the story. I loved the heroine. She was always honest with her feelings and did the best she could in any situation she found herself.
