Γλυκιά Τιμωρία - Χρυσά Άρλεκιν #1343
Ήταν παγιδευμένη!
Το θυελλώδες ειδύλλιο της με τον Ρέιφ Λόμπαρντ ήταν για την Μάντλιν ότι πιο συναρπαστικό είχε ζήσει ποτέ της. Μόνο που όταν έμαθε για το παρελθόν του, συνειδητοποίησε ότι δεν μπορούσε να γίνει ποτέ δικός της. Κι έτσι, αποφάσισε να φύγει όσο το δυνατόν πιο μακριά και να τον ξεχάσει.
Καμία γυναίκα δεν τον εγκατέλειπε! Και η προδοσία της Μάντλιν δεν μπορούσε να περάσει ατιμώρητη. Ο Ρέιφ κατάφερε να την ξεγελάσει και να την οδηγήσει στην έπαυλη του στο Κέντ. Κι εκεί, αποκλεισμένοι μόνοι οι δυο τους από τα χιόνια, λίγες μέρες πριν τα Χριστούγεννα, την είχε στο απόλυτο έλεος του για να πάρει εκδίκηση με τον πιο γλυκό τρόπο!

Reread and finished. Ok but h was incredibly immature and foolish, listened to OW and let pride keep her from even telling H much less asking him. I’ve no sympathy for someone who lets pride drive away joy.
Original: Couldn't finish, rather dirty and obvious plot.

The h is a widowed physiotherapist. Her husband of 6 months has been killed in an explosion. Her mother was injured in the same explosion and is in a coma. We don’t get to know how long she’s been widowed though.
The book starts when the H comes in for a checkup after an accident at the race track ( we don't get to know why he was there either). There is an immediate attraction and he asks her out. She is reluctant, but he is forceful and finely she agrees. The chemistry won’t be denied and they end up having sex that same night. She realizes she’s in love with him the next morning, really in love for the very first time. She met her husband when she was at the university. He was her teacher and 18 years older.
From the very beginning of the book we get the impression that she never really felt that much for her husband. The h/H start a really sweet relationship, but she feels guilt about her mother and doesn't tell the H why she keeps disappearing at the weekends (she visits her mother at the nursing home. He has patience with her about her secret.
The something happens. A women confronts the h and says she’s the H’s fiancée and that she’s been having treatment for a blood disease and that she’s lost the H’s baby! Needless to say the h is devastated. She never asks the H about the fiancée. Her male friend convinces her to pretend to be involved with him, to show the H that she just used him while she waited for her friend to come back.
They stage a bedroom scene for the H who threatens revenge and leaves.
The h leaves for America and finds a job there. After more than a year in the states she goes back to England to work as a private physiotherapist. The house she ends up in belongs to the H. Its his godmothers husband who’s in need of a therapist. They, however, aren't there, but the H is. He has planed it so that she can’t leave. After some events, it turns out he knows about the events that led to her leaving and her fake relationship with her friend. The OW was lying because, as always in Hplandia, she wanted the H for herself. The h explains about her mother and her guilt over their death and not loving her husband.
This was an ok read. But it was annoying that the h just gave in to the H as soon as he touched her. I would have liked to know the age of the h and how long ago her husband died. I mean was it a month ago, or 10 years? All we know is that she was married for 6 months. If I had known that the h was widowed I probably wouldn't have read this book. I usually want the H to be the h’s one and only love. If it was a MOC then I don’t mind (hey, we all have our preferences, don’t judge!)
