Γλυκιά Τιμωρία - Χρυσά Άρλεκιν #1058
Όταν η Άννα Σαντς βρέθηκε αποκλεισμένη στο σπίτι του Γκίντεον Στρέιντζ, δεν έβαλε μεμιάς στο νου της το κακό. Δεν υποψιάστηκε καν πως ίσως η συνάντησή τους να μην ήταν τυχαία. Σύντομα όμως, διαισθάνθηκε πως αυτός ο ακαταμάχητος άγνωστος που την τραβούσε σαν μαγνήτης κάτι της έκρυβε. Κι άρχισε ν' αναρωτιέται ποιος ήταν στην πραγματικότητα και τι ζητούσε από εκείνη ...
Ο Γκίντεον δεν μπορούσε να πιστέψει αυτό που έβλεπαν τα μάτια του. Η Άννα φαινόταν τόσο αθώα! Όμως εκείνος ήξερε πολύ καλά τι είδους γυναίκα ήταν: μια αδίστακτη ψεύτρα.
Τώρα λοιπόν, θα την έκανε να πληρώσει για την απάτη της και θα χρησιμοποιούσε κάθε μέσο για να την τιμωρήσει -ακόμα και τον έρωτα ...

While on vacation at the beach, I picked up four Harlequin Presents romance novels at a used bookstore. Perfect beach reads, or so I thought. The first one I read was an enjoyable, if slightly old-fashioned romance. But each one after that was a little bit less enjoyable, until I reached this one, A Vengeful Deception, by Lee Wilkinson, which is surely the nadir of bad romance. Not just of these four, but of all romance novels. Ever.
The story begins with the heroine, Anna, packing up the remnants of her bookshop on Christmas Eve. Her business has failed because the landlord raised her shop’s rent beyond what she can afford and she has had to sell her inventory of rare books and manuscripts. The collector who bought her stock took advantage of her situation to buy it at below-market prices but she has still been able to pay her debts. Facing starting over with her life and the loss of her dream business, she is understandably depressed. She closes the shop for the last time and is heading to a friend’s house for the Christmas holidays when the “hero” enters the picture.
The “hero” (scare quotes intended, as he is the least heroic romance-novel hero ever) steps in front of the heroine’s car and proceeds to pretend that she has hit him. From the beginning of their acquaintance, it’s clear to the reader that the “hero” is scamming her. As I read through the opening chapters, I wondered how the author would be able to recover the situation. How she could possibly make the “hero” seem like a sympathetic character after all he puts the heroine through. In fact, the only reason I continued reading this awful book was to see how the author would handle it, and the answer is—she never does. Apparently, the author didn’t see any problem with a “hero” who is a cruel, selfish, vengeful, manipulative ass. Nope, no character growth required here.
For the scam to work, the heroine has to be too-stupid-to-live, and of course she is. Unable to see any deception (vengeful or otherwise) she allows the “hero” to manipulate, coerce, seduce, and even confine her, without once standing up for herself or questioning his statements or motives. Far from doubting or resenting his machinations, she falls in love with him after he lures her to his home, tampers with her car to prevent her from leaving, plays an adolescent prank on her that would frighten the wits out of anyone, gets her drunk in his first seduction attempt, and then tries again when she’s sober and refuses to stop when she asks him to:
Wow, nowadays we call that rape. It was more like reading about a pedophile coercing his victim than a consensual sex scene between two adults:
Ick. Of course, she never does convince him to stop, since she’s “unable to free herself from his commanding hold on her senses.” Ultimately he coerces her into having sex with him, but only after insisting that she say out loud that she doesn’t want him to stop. What a prince. Afterward, he blames her for not telling him she was a virgin (even though their previous conversations made it clear to the reader that she was inexperienced) immediately withdrawing from her—emotionally as well as physically—and refusing to discuss his change in demeanor. He’s the king of mind games.
By the time we get to the end of the story and find out what the “vengeful deception” is all about, it hardly matters. There are hints throughout the story that the “hero” wants revenge against her because of something to do with her failed business. His estranged father had a collection of rare books and manuscripts that the “hero” believes she stole from. Apparently, it never occurred to the author—or amazingly, to Harlequin/Mills & Boon—that a man who would embark on this kind of subterfuge, who would think nothing of manipulating, coercing, and even imprisoning someone to punish her—however justified he might think he is—is not exactly the stuff of romance.
If he had been upfront about it, if he had faced her and told her he was going to ruin her—because, of course, we eventually find out the “hero” is both the rent-raising landlord who killed her business and the greedy collector who took advantage of her—and the story had been about her attempts to prove her innocence and their falling in love despite their differences, that would have been acceptable. But for him to embark on this manipulative scheme to punish her is unforgiveable. The only thing worse is that she falls in love with him despite it. Or maybe she just succumbs to Stockholm syndrome. Because even after all the truth comes out and she understands what he’s done and manages to use his cell phone to call for help, he’s able to coerce her to stay:
So, of course she stays. And the reader is supposed to sigh over the “happy ending” as the sexual predator manipulates his victim into thinking she has no reason to be angry and that they’re really in love with each other. Eww. I wanted to scrub my mind with a wire brush after I finished this book, just so I would never have to think about it again.
Worst. Romance. Novel. Ever.

But when Anna would have stepped forward, with a sudden unexpected movement Gideon folded both arms around her and drew her back against his muscular body, trapping her there.
“Please let me go,” she said coldly.
Nuzzling aside the smooth fall of dark silky hair, he kissed her nape. “Don’t be mad with me, darling.”
“Don’t call me darling,” she snapped at him, trying to break free.
He held her easily, effortlessly.

February 10, 2015
It’s Christmas Eve, and Anna is crating up the last of her books. She’s joined the statistic of ‘small businesses that fail in their first year.’ Her tiny antiquarian bookshop is a bust, she can’t keep her lease, and she’s sold all her best stock at a loss, and she’ll be job hunting in the new year.
Anna’s a strong person and although she’s sad, she’s going to take all this in her stride and not grumble about it. She’s also decided not to be sad and alone on Christmas and she’s taking up her friend’s offer of a family Christmas, even though she turned it down earlier.
While she’s boxing up books she’s getting that creepy ‘being watched’ feeling, and there’s a shadow moving past her window, and there’s a black cat startling her as she makes her way to her car. And then there’s a man, and oops, it looks like she’s just run him over. And that’s how she meets Gideon.
Gideon’s blonde. It took me a while to adjust but then I remembered Chris Hemsworth as Thor and I was mostly ok. When Anna extracts Gideon out from under her car he’s very gracious about being run over, and has suffered a debilitating but not serious injury to his elbow, so Anna drives him home.
It’s snowing, and Gideon lives in the Manor and it’s out in the middle of nowhere. He keeps coming up with very reasonable reasons that will prevent Anna from leaving. It’s all a bit suspicious.
So Anna is in this huge quandary of kinda sorta suspecting Gideon’s an axe murderer. He’s awfully hot, in fact he looks a little like that one guy she dated she was serious about but it didn’t work out. He’s doing some weird stuff, and she catches him looking at her funny. He’s also flirting and smouldering, so while it doesn’t look good, Anna can’t quite work up the right amount of terror to flee screaming into a snow storm.
Suspecting a hot guy of being an axe murderer is really very awkward. It’s not something you can easily work out. Anna tries to ask questions that sort of pick holes in Gideon’s story, but she has to be real subtle about it, and pretend she accepts his flimsy excuses. She’s pretty stuck, because if it turns out he’s not an axe murderer, he could get really offended if he works out what she’s thinking, and that’d be not only embarrassing, but a complete turn off. If it turns out that someone is an axe murderer, you definitely want to know, but you don’t want him to know you know, so you can lull him enough to hit him over the head with a kettle before running away.
What is probably most convincing re the axe murderer thing is that Gideon is Christmas keen. He’s all about mistletoe kisses and getting a tree from outside and decorations and Christmas crackers and games. He draws the line at singing carols which is good, because that would have flipped him back into axe murderer category by sheer dint of trying too hard. Or, you could basically say they didn’t need to carol because ‘Baby it’s cold outside’ perfectly encapsulates Anna and Gideon’s journey to coitus and a big chunk of this book was actually a musical number. That song is dodgy if you think about it a certain way, and so is the seduction in the book. Anna, though, holds onto the fact that she can’t be seduced unless she actually wants to be seduced, and I’m going to respect her opinion because she’s a big girl and knows about old books.
Of course there’s a deception (it’s in the title) and its seeds are sewn early so you do know how this is going to pan out for Anna. She has a busy time of it wanting to go to bed with an axe murderer, but not wanting to because she’s a virgin and deciding a guy probably isn’t planning to kill you is not really enough intimate knowledge about someone you’ve decided you’d like to shag.
Gideon of course is busy with his deception game and is having his Hamlet moments and then sometimes forgetting about the whole thing because Anna is so hot and you can’t genuinely do fun Christmas things with your nemesis and not like them heaps unless you are a super-trained secret agent.
I would have preferred better grovelling from Gideon when he discovered how wrong he’d been. He made the right grovelling noises, but they lacked oomph. It was all a bit ‘oh I say, frightfully sorry old thing, well bygones, what what?’ for me to enjoy it. Other than that, the book was a pretty decent example of its type, and I have nothing but fondness for booksellers.

Well where to start with this one? The H is a very bad boy indeed and what he actually did to the h was pretty reprehensible really. My other bee in the bonnet was the 48hour instalove - please save me, especially as he was lying for 95% of that time.
The h runs a rare book/manuscript shop that shes has to close down as her rent has been sent sky high, she has also had to sell her remaining rare stuff at a loss to clear her debts. She was cheated on by her ex so she moved back home as she hated living in London (I see her point I couldn't wait to move there when I left home and once i got there I wasn't impressed. I soon moved back to Yorkshire and I'm happy to just visit and see the good stuff).
It starts to snow and as she is leaving the car park she thinks she hits a guy with her car. Turns our he is the dubious "H" of our little tale and staged the accident to get the h to his house. He also bought the block where her shop was and hiked the rent to ruin her business. She is peturbed by the fact he kind of resembles her ex cheating boyf and he has spun a web of lies to his uncle H to incriminate her in the theft of family manuscripts.
This H is a really horrible person, tries to scare her in the house gets her drunk to try get her to lossen her tongue and morals and eventually seduces her.
To drive the final nail into the coffin he invites up the ex to prove shes a liar but its actually his sister that proves her innocence.
She should have totally dumped his horrible lying ass at this point instead she instaforgives him and the jackass ex also gets off scott free as h gets all his debts paid and hipped of to California to work!
I'm not amused he should have suffered massively for his sins against the h.

I don’t believe he is really in love with her. I want the H to be smitten and he is not.
I don’t care about the revenge schemes he had planned. He never in the book says ‘I love you’ to her. He says that he wants to marry her, but that is not the same as saying that he loves her. She does say ‘I love you’ to him.
And apparently the sex wasn’t that great, because even after that he keeps mistrusting her and go ahead with his scheme. Only after his sister denies the h is guilty, he believes she is not guilty. His so-called ‘love’ for her and her virginity didn’t make him lose his mistrust.
And the h is a doormat. No backbone at all.
Another reviewer (Sophie) says he raped her, but I don’t believe that to be true. She kisses him back, he asks her multiple times if she wants him to stop, she says that she doesn’t want him to stop, she undresses herself naked for him, he asks a bit later if she wants to change her mind and not have sex and she says ‘no’, she says she likes what he is doing to her, she watches him with admiring eyes at his body undress himself, etc. How is that rape?

She should have left when she had the chance. He’s going to be suspicious every time there is a wobble. It’s not love when you feel free to play very cruel mind games and seduce someone who has made it clear they don’t believe in premarital or at least pre commitment sex. Creepy, manipulative H has it all too easy against a genuinely kind, honest h.

Ömrüm boyunca okuduğum en saçma sapan BD-di.Erkek karakterin isminin Gideon olması beni okumaya itti galiba :D Dahası eski sevgilisi Eva ve kadın karakterin ismi ise Anna.2 yerde de Christianın cümlesini kullandı:D Bir daha isimlere aldanıb böyle gaflette bulunmayacağım :D
Her şey karlı bir Noel akşamı Annanın arkadaşının evine gitmek için arabaya binmesiyle başlar ve kendini Gideon Strangein evinde (daha doğrusu malikanesinde) bulur.Sonrasında Gideonun buna bazı imaları suçlayıcı tavırları ve bakışları bana bu adamın bir şeyler peşinde oldugunu ve bu karşılaşmanın da hiç de tesadüf olmadığı yönünde şübheler içime sokması kitabın sonuna yakın hiç de yanılmadığımı kanıtlar :D Sırf sonu nasıl bitecek diye merakdan devam ettim ve ettiğime de pişmanım o ne biçim sondu öyle sanki bir filmin hızlandırma düğmesine basmış gibi mutlu sona ulaştılar. :D
