There had never been much love lost between Gwenyth Morgan and Jeb Hunter. Jeb might be successful, but he was also arrogant and ruthless, running her father's old quarry with a single-minded desire for profit.
Now, happily engaged to Marc and planning a future in France, Gwenyth was certain Jeb would have no further power to antagonize her, to turn her dreams upside down. But that was before Jeb declared that he wanted her. . . .
All you need to know about this story is that the OW sets her maniacal unleashed attack dog on heroine’s gentle docile pooch, almost killing it, while OW stands there and laughs about all the fuss. What does the hero choose to do? Comfort the OW who is shedding crocodile tears!!! Anyone who follows my reviews knows that animal abuse is a RED ZONE for me. After that episode, the hero was DEAD to me. Someone write a healing epilogue please!
“It’s not what you say that perturbs me, and you know it. It’s everything you do. I don’t want coffee. I want to make love to you, fierce, passionate love.”
He is besotted and he doesn’t hide it. I like that there is chemistry between them, while they didn’t have sex before their wedding day. Old-school from 1990.
I take one star off because of the big-dog-bites-little-dog scene. That scene was so unnecessary and it doesn’t fit in a feel-good romance. Poor doggie. He survived, but only because the H drove by and rescued him.
I enjoyed this one, although, the pace was slower than expected. They marry only at the end. With that being said, the pace was snail but the plot was enjoyable to an extent. Towards the end I must admit I was eager to finish the story because it feels way too long, but at the same time I see that the leisure pace feels very natural to the story. There are mild angst here & there. Lots of chemistry, some tension going on between them but I did think her love confession at the end was a trite forced——-that scene could have been more creative, done more thoughtfully but whatever.
