Passionate reunions rule in these two classic stories from New York Times bestselling author Maya Banks!
ENTICED BY HIS FORGOTTEN LOVER
Bryony Morgan fell hard for hotelier Rafael de Luca. But once he got her beachfront property, he disappeared. Now she's pregnant and in New York wanting answers. That may have to wait, because Rafael has selective amnesia following a crash. Maybe they need to return to the island where they met and relive their unforgettable nights.
WANTED BY HER LOST LOVE
Despite his fiancée's betrayal, developer Ryan Beardsley provided for Kelly Christian when he sent her packing. So he's livid to find her working in a diner, desperate and pregnant. Regardless of whether the baby is his, he demands that she return to New York with him. For the baby's sake. Or maybe because the woman's as irresistible as ever…
Maya Banks is the #1 New York Times, #1 USA Today and international bestselling author of over 50 novels. A wife and mother of three, she lives in Texas.
Deze twee verhalen heb ik in een keer uitgelezen. Mooi, ontspannend en romantisch. Het is totaal iets anders dan wat ik van maya gewend ben. De romantiek heeft de bovenhand. In het eerste verhaal komt raphael bryony tegen en blijkt dat hij een relatie met haar had en dat ze nu zwanger van hem is. Het probleem is dat hij het zich niet meer herinnert. Na zijn vliegtuigongeluk heeft hij geheugenverlies. Hij gelooft eerst niet dat hij ooit op haar verliefd is geworden en dat de baby van hem is maar hij is nieuwsgierig. Hij wil terugkeren naar haar eiland om zijn geheugen terug te krijgen en om terug verliefd op haar te worden.
In het tweede verhaal gaat ryan op zoek naar zijn ex verloofde. Zij is verdwenen nadat hij te weten is gekomen dat ze hem bedrogen had met zijn broer. Hij kan haar niet vergeten en gaat op zoek naar haar. Wanneer hij haar vindt in een groezelig eetcafe en zwanger wil hij haar kost wat kost beschermen en terugwinnen. Maar zij is woedend op hem omdat hij haar op de moment dat zij hem het meest nodig had niet geloofde en haar aan de kant schoof. Zal liefde alles overwinnen en het vertrouwen terug vinden?
A compilation of 2 books banks wrote in 2011 by banks, these were gems that I had not seen anywhere else. I enjoy Maya Banks's writing in general but did not like her first book in her latest submissive series and did not continue with it. These two books in "Unforgettable" are more old fashioned well written romance stories that don't push the envelope in the bedroom--surprisingly and refreshingly tame for Maya Banks, but well worth the time to read.
Unforgettable is the set which includes the first two books in the Pregnancy & Passion series: Enticed and Wanted. These are earlier works by Maya Banks which are less explicit, originally published as Enticed by Her Forgotten Lover, and Wanted By His Lost Lover.
Enticed: Billionaire Rafe de Luca doesn’t remember the blissful time spent on an island alone with Bryony Morgan. Months later and carrying his baby, Bryony wondered what happened behind his desertion and why he never contacted her. Great story that includes amnesia, reconnection, and finding love.
Wanted: Billionaire Ryan Beardsley never forgot his ex-fiance’s betrayal. He didn’t give her the chance to explain away her excuse for cheating. Ryan just wrote her a big fat check and booted her out. Now months later he can’t help wonder why Kelly Christian never cashed in the huge check he gave her. Until he finds Kelly in a Houston diner, pregnant and exhausted. This is my favorite of the series, great plot, and strong heroine.
#1 Hero is a ruthless besides an who seduces the woman and gets her to sign her land away under false pretense that it would not be used for commercial development. He has an amnesia following an accident and forgets his lover who is now pregnant. The story is about how they work around issues that follow. It's a pleasant book to read and I enjoyed reading the predictable happy book filled with right amount of pain to reader occupied. #2 Hero assumes that his fiancée has had an affair with his own brother and kicks her out with a cheque but. Misses her so much he hires an investigator and finds her working to deat; sick & pregnant. Rescues her and resolve issues. Lovely book. Their love brought tears to my eyes. The 5 stars is for "wanted by her lost love" but Enticed by his forgotten lover was also good!
Di antara mereka berempat, saya pikir Ryan yang paling tolol. Ternyata saya salah. Si Rafael lima kali lipat lebih dodol daripada Ryan. Sempat mikir ini cerita bakal smooth, cuma tentang Rafe yang berusaha inget masa lalunya sama Bryony, lalu... boom! Ada kesalahpahaman di mana Rafe nuduh Bryony cuma nipu dia.
Tapi sial tebakan saya meleset! -_- Oalah dasar si Rafael brengseknya sampai DNA. Halalin segala cara buat raih tujuannya? Manfaatin cewek lalu ditinggal hamil begitu aja? Mungkin amnesianya jadi karma kali ya. Kenapa dia enggak buntung atau punya luka bakar gitu gegara jatuh dari jet? Nanggung amat kasih karma buat manusia macam begini.
Saya mungkin enggak akan ngomel seandainya ending cerita lebih diolah lagi. Bryony... argh! Masa iya dia maafin si dodol secepat itu? Setelah disakitin habis-habisan?
Ambas historias me han parecido desgarradoras por las situaciones que pasan los personajes. No obstante, la historia de amor de cada pareja te toca en lo más profundo de tu corazón. Además el libro se devora en cuestión de segundos, yo tardé menos de un día, lo que me ha permitido disfrutar mucho y desconectar de otras cosas.
I enjoyed the second story much better than the first. They both dragged on a bit for me, which is odd considering they aren’t that long of books. I guess I wanted more from the characters.
