Kim Lawrence
807 books212 followersThough lacking much authentic Welsh blood, Kim Lawrence comes from English-Irish stock. She was born and brought up in North Wales. She returned there when she married, and her sons were both born on Anglesey, an island off the coast. Though not isolated, Anglesey is a little off the beaten track, but lively Dublin, which Kim loves, is only a short ferry ride away. Today they live on the farm her husband was brought up on. Welsh is the first language of many people in this area and Kim's husband and sons are all bilingual she is having a lot of fun, not to mention a few headaches, trying to learn the language! She is a keen gardener and cook and enjoys running often on the beach, as living on an island the sea is never very far away. She is usually accompanied by her Jack Russell, Sprout don't ask, it's long story!
With small children, the unsocial hours of nursing didn't look attractive so encouraged by a husband who thinks she can do anything she sets her mind to, Kim tried her hand at writing. Always a keen Mills & Boon reader, it seemed natural for her to write a romance novel. In 1995, she published her first novels and now she can't imagine doing anything else.

I went into this with a specific craving...and unfortunately this didn't satisfy it...
Oh well.

I am so glad I read this book. I was really expecting not to like it, because of the storyline. I hate when the hero doubts that the heroine had his child. But.....I really liked this book. It was a 4.5 star read for me. Kim Lawrence is a very good writer. She does a great, emotional love story with sizzling sexual tension, and characters you can like and root for.
In the case of this story, I was surprised at how easily I forgave Angolos for walking out on his pregnant wife. He had a very good reason for it, at least in his mind. He believed he could not have sired her child, and he thought he had proof that she cheated on him. Plus, he felt guilty for marrying Georgie when she was so young. You see, Angolos had just found out he was in remission for cancer the day he met Georgie. He fell in love at first sight with her, but his emotions were in turmoil because of his guilt that he had greedily snatched her up. He thought she just felt hero worship, and that she fell out of love with him when he took her home and fell into his workaholic routine. How wrong he was.
Georgie is very likeable. She's strong and pretty mature for her age. I think she realized looking back that she was too willing to give on things she should have fought over. She was insecure and felt like she wasn't enough woman for Angolos, because of his ex-wife still being in the picture, and the fact that his mother didn't care for her. When Angolos goes cold and walks out on her when she tells him she's pregnant, she leaves him and goes back to her family. Georgie has issues because her mother walked out on her as a baby, to marry a Greek waiter she ran off with. Her father and grandmother played into her issues of insecurity and inadequacy. In her mind, she couldn't believe she was good enough for the beautiful, Greek god-like man who swept her up into a worldwind courtship and marriage.
One day (four years later), Angolos shows up, after his doctor friend tells him that her son has to be his, since he's the spitting image of Angolos. Of course, she thinks Angolos just wants her back because of his child. She still doesn't know he believed he was sterile. She realized she never stopped loving him, but she doesn't fall like putty back into his hands. Rightfully, she's wary and keeps her barriers up. But, she's not silly about it. I think that Georgie and Angolos were both mature and reasonable, wanting to do the right thing for their son, and both hopelessly in love.
I was prepared to hear about Angolos sleeping with other women during their separation, but get this: He's a man who believes in honoring his marriage vows, even with evidence that his wife didn't do the same. So, he didn't sleep with other women while they were separated! Yay! I loved him just for that.
As usual, Kim Lawrence writes an engaging love story that I could sink my teeth into and read with full enjoyment. Although there were a few issues that didn't get explained or resolved by the time this story ended, I definitely believed in Georgie and Angolos' love for each other. That it was built to last, and stronger for all that they had suffered. This wasn't quite a five star book, but darn close. Don't be afraid to read this one, if this theme normally turns you off. I think you'd enjoy it.

Just flat out amazing.
what always nag me in HP is heroine is always hurt by hero’s words. Here it was reverse hero was stung so many times by heroine’s words which he deserved. He was genuinely appalled and I love love the feisty heroine and their witty banter.
Still it did bother me there was no serious groveling. And heroine was too much forgiving.
Recommended and safe.

I hated the hero. No redemption, nada.
Georgie has a few good moments, but ultimately his magic penis enraptures her again.
Needs a lot more groveling!!!

I'm not a big Kim Lawrence fan, but this was very entertaining. The hero thinks his wife cheated on him when she announces her pregnancy. Since he had chemo before he met the heroine, he thinks he's sterile. (Heroine didn't know until the very end that he had cancer before he met her).
Fast forward four years: the hero's doctor sees the H/h's son and he is the spitting image of his father. He informs the hero that maybe his wife didn't cheat and this is his child. The hero finally goes to see this child and that's where the story begins.
What I liked about this story is that the hero was ridiculously thick. I mean - this isn't a LG hero who sees every implication with his computer fast brain. This is a hero who needs everything spelled out for him and that means there are chapters of delicious angst as the hero realizes just what he put the heroine through. He is amazed and stricken so many times. *gleeful*
For example. When a friend of his describes giving birth and how she was so glad her husband was there - the hero realizes he wasn't there at his son's birth and asks the heroine about it. The heroine keeps downplaying all her trials and tribulations, which made me annoyed with her - but we get to relive it all as the hero wallows in guilt.
No, he didn't grovel enough at the end - but he had to confront every aspect of his stupid behavior and that lasted the entire novel. *happy sigh* I love hero torture.
Um. Did I say that out loud?
Anyway, I couldn't go higher with the stars because the heroine was ridiculously forgiving - not just of the hero but of her family and his family.

This is one of the better HPs I have read. Angolos Constantine has had cancer and thinks he cannot father a child so when his wife turns up pregnant he assumes she had cheated on him and kicks her out. The story starts about 4 years later when the boy is 3. Angolos' friend sees the boy and says he's got to be yours since he looks just like you. Whan Angolos realizes how wrong he was he tries everything he knows to regain his wife. But here's the difference, he doesn't do it in a totally arrogant way, but admits his mistake and tries to make amends. Another good part is that in the intervening years, the heroine, Georgie, who was 21 when they split up has grown a backbone and does not immediately fall back under his spell/power. Her strength is not just a token either, she follows through and makes him really work for her love. If you're into Harlequins at all this is a good one to read.

'No, what’s amazing is that you can love me after all the pain I’ve caused you.’
No, you are living in the HPlandia, so that's a standard, not amazing!

I have to question hero's mental stability when he'd rather blame the "love of his life" of infidelity to hide his own weakness and would throw them out rather than tell them they had cancer. Apparently that makes them appear weak.
No, that makes you human, what makes you appear weak is exactly the things you did to avoid appearing weak.
That's called ironic.
Heroine could do without his so called love, which was nothing more than selfish desire. He NEVER cared about what she wants. Apart from orgasms.
I would have gone with one star if not for his celibacy. Also if he didn't see the kid by the stroke of luck they'd be divorced and he did NOTHING to redeem himself. The TSTL heroine didn't even let him grovel because she was too horny for him to waste time in grovelling. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!

I would have actually liked to give this book a half star but sadly the lowest is a one star.
The heroine is a spineless doormat. The arrogant jerk of a hero throws her out of his life and disowns his child. But still when he comes back (without an apology mind you) all she can think of is how she is burning up with lust for him (There was so much mention of this that I actually kept rolling my eyes and scoffing). As Tina in her review has rightly mentioned "her burning loins" is all she thinks about and is all this book is about.
She tries to show how magnanimous of a mother she is going back to the high handed delusional jerk of a hero for the sake of her son. But she actually does it all because she is dying to get into bed with the hero. In short she was pathetic. In fact by her reaction every time she meets the hero I started to feel like she was some kind of a sex maniac.
The part I hated the most is how Nicky is almost neglected in this story. They were supposedly getting back together for Nicky but he is nearly forgotten. Instead its all about the heroine's burning lust(seriously needs to see a therapist). I know its a romance and these scenes show the depth of emotion H and h have for each other. But it's completely unnecessary when they get in the way of the plot and they were just too many of them(we understand she loves and lusts for the hero with one mention of it. No need to keep repeating it).
In the end when Nicky gets hurt, as a mother her only concern naturally should have been her son nothing and no-one else. But mostly she thought about how the hero was going to blame her, how her mother in law has changed, the party she left,her new baby(like anything but her injured son!). In fact they don't even spend much time even just sitting beside Nicky's bed (hello? your son just had a brain surgery!!).
It is laughable when she says at the end
"This is what life is like as a parent at the beck and call of children twenty-four seven"
They don't even spend 24 minutes with their son.
All in all it was a big disappointment. It has put me off of Harlequin for now. I seriously wanted to deck the hero (he does say sorry towards the end but too little too late). The heroine seriously needs therapy or medication for as Tina said "her burning loins".

It is an enjoyable book with the broken marriage and a secret child trope. The usual lot of MUs to work out for the h/H, but done well by KL. I wont say much about the story beyond that I enjoyed it and finished in one go. The h was snarky and recalcitrant but then she had good cause. The chemistry was sizzling. The ‘Constantine creature’ was as Greekly hot as possible. The in laws on both sides were nicely obnoxious and did their lovely troublemaking bit.
I will only point out the imperfections, emphasizing at the same time that they don’t take away anything from the book.

Reread 10-30-21. Just as phenomenal as it was the first time. Loved, loved, LOVED this one all over again.
***Five Stars***
This is one of my most favorite themes; a couple madly in love when the husband wrongly comes to believe that his wife is cheating on him, and coldly kicks her ass right out. This story was even better though, because Angolos believes himself completely unable to father children, when his wife Georgie tells him she's pregnant. His knee jerk reaction was swift. Angolos hatefully kicks out Georgie and refuses to acknowledge the baby is his at all, never giving her a reason to his behavior. Devastated and heartbroken, Georgie moves on with her life without Angolos. She moves back in with her judgmental family to raise their child without him, all the while believing Angolos never truly had any feelings for her to begin with. I started reading this last night before bed, and stayed up way too late so I could finish it. I loved every second of this angsty story from the hateful torment Angolos put Georgie through, to the all new backbone Georgie had when Angolos tries to return to their lives. It was all so good!

No fue lo que esperaba, este libro lo vi recomendado en un grupo y como lo habían descrito dije Ay es de esos protas que se portan como unos idiotas y luego se arrastran por perdón pero en ningún momento ocurrió siempre mantuvo su postura hasta cuando dijo lo siento se justificaba la verdad es que lo odié y lo que más me molestó fue la actitud sumisa de la protagonista verán les cuento ellos están casados, él piensa que es estéril pero nunca se lo dice a ella, así que cuando sale embarazada la corre acusándola de infidelidad pasan 4 años y por azares del destino se entera que el niño es su viva imagen y cuando ve que es verdad quiere recuperarlos como si nada hubiera pasado que ella lo acepte por el simple hecho que es el papá del niño y como dije me molestó que ella cediera tan rápido yo quería que no se la pusiera fácil que se arrastrara el perro por perdón y NUNCA NUNCA se redimió. Fue una historia bastante machista que denigra a la mujer la ponen como que no tienen voz ni voto que si un hombre te deja y luego vuelve tiene el derecho de la duda y él perdón pero ellas no si acaso se llegan a equivocar son repudiadas.

This started out so well.
What I mean is that it had the angst, and the makings of a good emotional story HP style.
Then, about 25% in, I was ready to renege on my previous assumptions. The audacity on that guy to just demand and demand and demand while not even saying sorry for abandoning the heroine and their child like yesterday's trash.
And the heroine? Let me tell you she was the type who says "there's no need to be sorry, it's in the past" ..EXCUSE ME?!? The man was absolute trash treated you like worse than trash so HELL YEAH he needs to apologise till he suffocates on his "I'm sorrys"

12/13/23 totally read this book again and I still loved it. I don't think he groveled near enough but he definitely tried once he realized how much he misjudged her. I definitely Italy think he loved her and she actually had a spine. I liked that.
5/18/17
I have no idea why but I love this book. It's definitely one of my favorites. He was a jerk but i think he groveled very nicely. I loved the h. She was strong and I loved how she learned to stand up to him. Nicky was a cute boy and I loved the scene at the hospital when the Grandma shows up and is kind to her. Just a feel good we ending and overall ahhh factor.

I give this book four stars for the beginning.
The heroine is confronted by the hero after 4 years and going through her pregnancy alone because NOW he wants to be with his kid and get her back.
Despite the fact that her raging hormones are telling her to sex him up, she remains firm and gives him set down after set down.
Georgie basically told the hero off in so many ways I was surprised. I mean, for what he did, it could always be more, but it was still 10,000 times more than any other heroine has ever done.
So the story goes..
Georgie was kicked out by her husband when she told him she was pregnant. He believed that she cheated on him and it wasn't his kid. She didn't know it but he'd had cancer and the treatments more than likely made his sterile, but he never got himself tested to find out for sure.
Four years later his doctor/friend confronts him to inform him that he'd seen his estranged wife and her son, who was the spitting image of him and had to be his son.
Angolos goes to see his wife and her child to prove to himself that he's not the father, but when he actually sees him he realized he made a small error in judgement and it really was his child. Now he wants to get back together with her so he can be a father to his son.
I loved the start. I loved how the heroine told him off and most of her comments put a big grin on my face.
Then what happened?
It didn't turn bad, exactly, but it didn't go out with a bang that's for sure.
So few issues were actually discussed or worked out that I really feel cheated at the end.
There wasn't a lot that was actually worked out, sure we have the obligatory HEA, but the reason for it is because no matter what the hero did, the heroine felt bad for him, actually apologized for the hard time he had and how she was over it.
What would have made this book so good? If they'd actually worked out all the issues from their past. If the hero actually showed some suffering for him being such an idiot. You know what, for a guy who always wanted children, I can sort of understand how he would think that he couldn't have children, but he also knew there was a possibility that he could. He refused to face it.
He really needed MORE pain and suffering for his bad choices. OH, and I absolutely loved how he threw a tantrum and ran away where NO ONE COULD FIND HIM FOR HOURS *by the way, we never find out where he disappeared to, but my bet is on the ex-wife* while the heroine had to deal with the near death experience of her son, emergency room signing papers to release her 3 year old for operation to have his head drilled to relieve the pressure of internal bleeding in his skull.
And this is not long after the hero being so upset that she had such a hard labor and he wasn't there with her.
Really, what happened to this book? It's like the author lost her way or just had so many open things that she couldn't close them all and wound up really closing..basically none.

Angolos the dumbass and Georgie the tbs sufferer.
I wanted to like this one more, and it was enjoyable at first but I also found it easy to set down.
The set up is great, it's the follow through that was lacking. There's no humble pie for the H. No real apology from him until long after she's back in his bed and everything is going his way anyways. No grovel. She forgives faster than a pair of silk panties in a hurricane.
I wanted her to read him the riot act. I mean have some self respect woman. The man kicked you out while pregnant without any discussion or even trying to confirm his suspicions by talking to you or hiring a PI.
And even when they were married, he was Mr. Insensitive about her troubles with his spoiled sister and bitchy mother whom HE decided they would live with. In fact he made all the decisions in their marriage including when it would end.
He kicked her out and ghosted her. He puts money in an account for her but never checks up on her. He needed to grovel, but when he finally starts to, she stops him basically calling it negativity. But when he spews his lack of trust and negativity all over her, she listens. She even apologizes at one point for him not being there when his kid was born... like it had anything to do with her!. Sheesh.
I couldn't believe how easily she agreed to take her son to Greece with him. I mean what if it doesn't work out? Will you be able to leave Greece with your son? She had so much trust in him after all he put her through because of his own distrust and paranoia.

This hero was a bad husband in ways that had nothing to do with tossing his young, pregnant wife out because he mistakenly believed she was having an affair and he could not have impregnated her.
Although he did that, too.
Lawrence deals with this situation with too-ready forgiveness on the part of the heroine. In the early part of the story, when the heroine is still resentful (yet somehow unable to stand her ground against his insistence that they resume their marriage for the sake of the son he had rejected before birth), the hero is unapologetic for his actions. Only when he realizes he has lost his moral high ground -- when he accepts that she never had an affair -- does he begin to express remorse. But rather than allowing him to grovel at that point, the heroine immediately forgives him because she doesn't want their marriage to be a penance for his past sins. Later, when he overhears another mother sympathizing with the heroine over the difficultly of labor and what a comfort her own husband was to her during the birth, the hero again tries to flail himself and the heroine flips it by sympathizing with him over missing out on his son's birth. Oh, poor hero.
What I remember about the book, however, is the other all-too-familiar Greek billionaire marriage scenario, where the thoughtless husband dumped his young, middle-class wife into the in-law occupied family estate and then proceeded to ignore her in favor of work and his gorgeous movie-star ex-wife, never noticing that his current wife was in over her head and being pecked at by his family. [This is the pre-pregnancy version of their marriage, incidentally.]
Lawrence deals with this situation by blaming the then-21-year-old heroine for her lack of self-confidence. The husband taunts the heroine for having low self-esteem and defends his ex-wife when the heroine reveals that the ex had told the heroine she "was just the sort of quiet, homely wife [he] needed."
This is still an issue for the heroine at the end of the book, when she is frustratedly trying to throw a party to prove she is as sophisticated as the ex. The hero continues to be unsupportive and blind to the significance of what she's doing. But all of that suddenly becomes irrelevant for the heroine under the drama of discovering the mother who abandoned her had a second family, and her son suffering a serious head injury, and her husband finally playing his get-of-jail-free cancer card. (It's like the last chapter is its own under-developed alternate version of the whole book.)
Three stars for bringing all the drama, but none of the grovel. Every time the book approaches letting the hero take some responsibility for being awful, the wife steers them to sex instead.

Another reread 5/18/2024… I was search for a different book and this looked like it needed rereading. Meh.
Reread 5/14/2021
This popped on my GR feed and I thought to do a quick reread. It's still 3 stars, well, barely, maybe.
I'm not a fan of the "I'm sterile, but don't share this information" hero. And that's exactly what we have here. Of course, he kicks his wife out assuming she's an evil, cheating b!tch, instead of actually going to a doctor to find out whether or not he can actually have children.
Now it's 3 years later and wait, the kid might be his, and she's still an evil cheating b!tch, but he still lusts after her and wants her back so he can be daddy. UGH, because it's all about what he wants.
Curiously, she has a backbone and will go toe to toe with him, until he verbalizes an apology. Once he's apologized for a wrong doing, she says 'it's okay' and moves on. She's fair that way, again UGH.
Extra info:
1. He was a cancer survivor and was told the treatment left him sterile, but does he share this info before he marries her? That's a no .
2. He finds a "love letter" from the supposed OM, only it's really from friend who is vaguely expressing his decision not to come out to his parents.
3. He doesn't believe his Greek mama and sister treated her badly the first time around, and if it might be true, it's her fault because of her low self-esteem issues. The grandbaby makes the Greek mama much nicer.
Nice guy, right? Arrogant putz.
But they get their HEA and another child on the way.

There were things I liked, the way heroine stood up to hero in the beginning was great, also her condition of not living with his family again was impressive, but then it all fell apart for me....I agree with reviews that say conversations stop making sense and that heroine put her libido above her son. I don't see how based on his non-explanation, she could put her son at risk by agreeing to go to Greece with Angolos. After he essentially handed her divorce papers and then ripped them up, so we are back in business? Fickle much? A good mother would demand counseling and brief supervised visitation, plus an iron-clad custody agreement, before allowing him anywhere near her child,
I would at all costs protect my son from a father who rejected him. Also, she's just pathetic when he expresses remorse for abandoning her to be alone during a difficult birth...the "no big deal" lack of vindictiveness got Pollyanna like. Her responses became bizarre. Ludicrously mild (to his vicious accusations of infidelity) and absurdly melodramatic (to worry over a dinner party).
I hated how she and Angolos were so disrespectful to her father. Hard to find a caring and protective parent in an HP. Maybe overprotective but given what Angolos did to her, I would have been outraged if I was her parent.

This had some enjoyable elements and kept me interested. However, I never could fully buy into the reasons the hero ditched the heroine 4 years earlier. Especially based on his flimsy "evidence" against her as a cheater. Also, he was told his cancer treatment would likely make him sterile. He'd never had the testing to prove it one way or the other. So, it was all so unbelievable that he just threw her out without even demanding a DNA test. He would have served her with divorce papers too if he hadn't seen the child and realized he had to be his.
To his credit the hero was otherwise fairly likeable for an arrogant Greek tycoon and I felt he did have some real guilt. But I still found it hard to get past him convicting the heroine so swiftly and completely without even a small doubt.
For her part she did put up a token resistance at first, but after that was far to quick to absolve him.

‘I will make it up to you. If it takes me the rest of my life I’ll make it up to you,’ he vowed, grinding one clenched fist into the other.

Question:
1. Why can't harlequin heroines seem to get mad without being aroused by the mere presence of our hero?
Seriously?
Why can't you get mad like a normal person does? Wanting to wring his neck and not getting him naked? It's kinda annoying

I found that this subject is dealt in a shallow way. This kind of marriage breakdown should have required much more to recover that what actually described here both as regards time and ways. The hero is a gorgeous Greek billionaire who meets and falls in insta lust with the teenager heroine. They get married and she gets pregnant. The hero had cancer and had chemo treatment, at the end of the treatment he was told he couldn’t father a child. Instead of going to doctors and trying to see if he’s really sterile he thinks the heroine is cheating on him and the child is not his. So he throws her away and gets back to his marry ways. Ah, of course he never told this very important thing to the heroine so she didn’t know why he threw her out!!! When the story begins the heroine has been bringing up their child alone and he’s enjoying himself with other women. Afterwards we understand he was celibate during their long separation. If he weren’t I would have given 1 star and a rant. So, one of his friends tells him he saw his child and he’s exactly like him, so he goes to the heroine with THE PAPERS FOR DIVORCE (!!!) and sees that his son his his spitting image. He tells the heroine he wants them back and she accepts. Like that. Like what??? I was having my blood pressure so high I was about to call a doctor. No, this is not only unacceptable. It is unbelievable. If the heroine loved the hero she would never have been able to surrender to his request so easily. She should have been hurt, and not able to get on easily. Remember she’s an innocent victim, she was pregnant and he left her alone and never -never!- tried to see her and the baby again. He went to her with the paper for divorce, he wanted a divorce so how could she accept so quickly to go back to him, to have sex with him after all he did to her? It is impossible and stupid. I really appreciated her father when she told him that not only the sob was back but she was going back with him “ were you born stupid?” Yes, that was my thought exactly. There would have been much more communication between them and much more groveling from him before she could even think to live with him again. Instead she accepted the 3 years of neglect without a real explanation, and what I found impossible to understand, without ever expressing her feelings and emotions, what she went through and what she suffered. She was always downplaying everything she suffered because of his stupidity! And this means two things: she never really loved him and she was indifferent to his rejection, or she hides her real feelings and hurt and this is a dangerous thing to do because when you don’t express strong feelings and emotions afterwards they fester and become something really dysfunctional. (Therapist’s words!) Hers was not the correct coping for a situation like that. So I found that I was detaching myself from the story and I really didn’t care what happened to the characters. The rejection of his child was only one of his many sins, anyway. This sob immediately after their marriage took the heroine in the same house where his mother and his bitchy sister lived, and of course they made her life a living hell. If this is not enough, the hero’s ex wife was guest in their house and was BFF with both sil and mil. And the hero was surprised when the heroine told him she was jealous and told her she was having self esteem issues, when he was jealous of her GAY friend and thought she had slept with him. Talking about issues... In the end all I saw was a stupid narcissist man with self esteem issues that should have had a long, very long treatment with a counselor, and a stupid doormat of a heroine victim of her hormones with no pride and dignity. The only feeling I perceived was lust, they really were always having sex as a solution of their problem, it is not a bad thing if sex is good but obviously it’s not the solution of a tragic marriage like that. Sorry for me is a no.

On re-read, I am less enamored by the hero and the heroine. If I were to rate this again, I would have put it between 2.5 and 3 stars.

This is my second by Kim Lawrence. This is a book with a ton of angst, delivered with incredible punch. Angolos and Georgie met 5 years ago when he was given a clean bill of health from cancer. They meet, fall in love, though there is a significant difference in age and level of maturity. Yet they marry and have a child together. The story starts 4 years later when we learn that Angolos threw Georgie out because he did not believe the baby was his. He never told Georgie that he could not have children due to chemo treatments and he believed that she was having an affair with someone else. So when she drops the "P" bomb, he kicks her out.
What I loved about the story
1) In spite of his stupidity, I really liked Angolos as the hero. He recognized that he did wrong in not recognizing his son and he does everything he can to correct the situation and make it right for Georgie and Nicky. The author did a tremendous job in portraying a man humbled by his illness, passionate in his love but somewhat immature in the decisions he made.
2) I absolutely loved Georgie and the story that is woven around her ability to pick herself up, make a life for her son, grow into a strong woman, yet have the capacity to love and forgive.
3) I loved the storyline. This plot is actually a derivation of the "secret" baby theme with a unique twist. I like when authors can do that.
4) I loved that the Hero kept his vows, even though they were separated, he still believed in keeping his commitment.
All in all a fun fast entertaining read.

Why this HP didnt work for me: (didn't like the heroine - or her as a mother)
It seemed like it took the hero less than a day to win her over (even though she pretends it isnt so) after all he had done to her (dumped her when she's preg with his child/seen by many other women in the past). And although what the hero was saying to the heroine made a lot of sense (he wanted to be in his son's life - about damn time), heroine's inner dialog made it seem as if all she cared about was her feelings and her flaming loins. How he still turned her on... *rolls eyes*. She ultimately does go along with his plan for their son's sake, however, I, as the reader didn't buy this. I felt as if she went along with it because this is what she had been wishing for all along.
Even this I might have accepted. However, he had treated his son like crap and completely ignored him for 4 yrs. I cant believe that any decent mother would forget and forgive a man who treated her son like this so easily and even had dreams of getting back with him.
Instead of pining for the bastard, I would have been wanting some revenge for my son. But no, all she cared about was her flaming loins and how beautiful he still is to her ...
What a stupid, stupid girl....
Something positive about the books:
For once, the hero's explanation is reasonable and heartfelt from the beginning, and not just the last 5 pages of the book which is case the with most HP.

Talk about LACK of communication, this book was loaded with it. The Hero Angolos Constantine had suffered with cancer and had Chemotherapy to treat his cancer and thought it had left him sterile. So when wife turns up pregnant he throws her out, believing that she cheated on him and was carrying another mans baby. Angolos had never told the Heroine Georgette that he had cancer. He met her the day he was told he had beat cancer and was starting to LIVE a full life.
Flash forward almost 4 years later were the story actually begins. And a doctor friend of Angolos's meets him tells him that he had run into Georgie "her nickname" at the medical office and saw her son and basically there is no way that anyone else is the father but Angolos. Angolos is still not convinced but decides to check it out for himself. And upon seeing first hand his son he no longer doubts that little Nicky is his. He then decides to right a wrong and make a home for his wife and son. But he still believed she had cheated.
I really felt for the Heroine in this story. She had no one with her when she gave birth. She had always loved her husband and did not understand why he felt the way he did. And she had been treated poorly by everyone including his family and her own. But she was no longer a push over either and she had made a life for her son and finished school and got a job.
One of the things that really bothered me about the book was the closeness of Angolos with his ex wife. I personally would have been spitting nails with my husband meeting his ex out of the country and going to dinner and inviting her to come stay in our home right after we had married. I mean really who the hell does that? Was tickled to see Georgie pull the plug so to speak, but this almost made me mark the book way down in rating it.

The heroine Georgie is shocked when the husband she hasn't seen in four years - ever since he kicked her out of his life - turns up demanding to see his son. The hero Angolos has spent five years believing that Georgie had betrayed him and that her son was not his. Now he has been confronted with the truth that not only did he abandon Georgie but also his precious son. Georgie initially thinks that Angolos is there to get a divorce, and although this brings her hurt she is only too happy to agree. But she's even more shocked when he tells her that he wants them to be a family. She agrees but knows she will never forgive him for the way he treated her, and Georgie refuses to let him take over and change the life she has built for herself and her son. Angolos is surprised by the new more assertive Georgie, and pleased that the all consuming passion that was always between them is still there. However, as much as he wants Georgie to forgive him he still can't make himself completely trust her.
I have read quite a few of Kim Lawrence's books and I find them a little hit and miss, so I didn't actually expect to like this one as much as I did. There is so much emotion and tension weaved throughout this book that makes it totally absorbing to read. The hero's background is so sad yet he behaves badly towards the heroine, but this somehow works and is very entertaining to read. The heroine is strong and independent, and not at all silly. I loved reading the snippets of their past, it really added depth to the book.
This is an engaging and riveting read. Recommended.
