Enemy In Camp
The perfect way to ruin a holiday...
Victoria Beaumont was looking forward to relaxing on Mackinac island at the family's summer home.
But all thoughts of relaxing fled when she discovered that her father, Charles, had invited Dirk Ramsey. His ruthless newspaper articles threatened to damage Charles's political career. Perhaps if Dirk got to know the Beaumonts better he would change his views.
Victoria didn't want to know him better. True, Dirk Ramsey was the most attractive man she'd ever met--but any interest he showed in her was purely for the sake of journalism!

"Enemy in Camp" is the story of Victoria and Dirk.
SO GOOD!
A sexy, banter filled battle of wills between the H and h.
The h is a rich heiress, the H a revered reporter. His articles about their family enrage her, and when her father invites him to their island to spend two weeks, she is mighty mad!
They start off on a feisty note, with them challenging each other at every turn. But their chemistry is too hot to deny. Soon love blooms, but will their differences overpower their emerging feelings?
This was awesome! A strong h and H who complement each other, and totally are a match for each other's wits. I liked how the H dealt with her family, and especially her smitten sister. The h on the other hand took time to understand the H's perspective, and the book ends on a super sweet note.
100% recommended and SO HOT!

5/5

Одразу скажу, що оцінку ставлю за саму книжку як фізичний об'єкт, ггг. Щось є страшенно привабливе у тому, як цей пейпербек мав розсипатися вже після другого прочитання, а вже років сорок тримається, і взагалі у мене слабкість до таких повсякденних неподарункових видань. А за сюжет десь півтори зірочки, не більше. Головний герой журналіст, що пише нехороші статті про татка-політика головної героїні, той героя запрошує погостювати у сімейному гнізді на острові для багатих, щоб поправити враження, герой гордий і непоступливий, вона теж на нього злиться, але пристрасть відключила їм мізки, як це водиться. В цілому це був би стандартний романчик, якби не додали крінжу сестрою героїні. У свої шістнадцять вона закохалася у героя, той слава богу постарався донести, що він не кохання її життя, однак залюбки буде старшим братом і далі по тексту. Правда, доносив, запершись з сестрою у її кімнаті, і батьки такі - ну ок, саме так і має пояснювати дитині мужик її удвічі старший. Все закінчилось добре, звісно, але враження залишились.
Додам, що тут симпатична серія, де кожен роман відбувається у якомусь конкретному штаті і описуються його принади, цей про Мічіган.

The 'hero' in this one is really seedy. His dick is aching, and he wants to have sex with the heroine no matter what. He pushes her about, comes onto her 16 year old sister to make her jealous, he rants and raves and shouts when she doesn't give in, he then issues an ultimatum and when that doesn't work he flounces out of her life like a fucking child. When he isn't trying to force/trick her into having sex with him he's pouting hard with sour grapes because she's rich and he isn't.
He's so rude and disrespectful and downright pathetic, he reminded me of the disgusting older men I had to endure in my youth who whined and wheedled at you to have sex with them, and then called you a frigid bitch when you try to say no. Vomit.

Rating: 2.5/5
Readable but oh so dull. The "lovemaking" was just forced. And the heroine in question just so impetuous.

Not great. The hero was a complete jerk. The story just limped along. Too much banter about rich/poor
