You want Hot? Revenge? Romance that will make your heart race? Well then this one is for you and it's fabulous! Abby is just another rising star amongst the new Harlequin Presents authors. It's a wonderful love story set in Dublin!
From the time her father died and her mother remarried Maggie Holland had to take care of her mother. She married a monster, a man who manipulated both women by physically harming Maggie's mother and blackmailing Maggie to do as he wished in order to keep her mother safe. Her stepfather was greedy and had a plan, a plan to bring down a very successful Brazilian millionaire Caleb Cameron. His plan is to dangle his lovely stepdaughter under Caleb's nose. From the moment they meet, the air sizzles and Maggie immediately looses her heart. Can she go through with the plan? In the end, Caleb confronts her and she flees, shamed by her part in the plan.
However, life has a strange way of getting even and in the end, Maggie's stepfather dies and leaves both women with nothing. Maggie's mother is fragile and is left with nothing, not even the family home she loves in Ireland. But Maggie has a plan and she learns that Caleb is coming to Dublin to conduct business so she goes to see him, and beggs for her family home and will do anything he wants so her mother can keep her home.
Upon seeing Maggie again, Caleb wants revenge and tells her if she stays with him for two months as his mistress, her debt will be free and clear and her mother can keep the family estate! Ruthless? YES! Will Maggie leave with her heart in one piece? NO! Their journey was a painful one as Caleb didn't want to believe that Maggie was a dishonest woman as at times signs pointed in the other direction. Maggie and Caleb's love story was intense, full of passion and emotion and one I will long remember. Again, Abby Green has written a brilliant and entertaining love story.

Not one of Abby Green's Best
14 Nov 2011
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The whole storyline was bizarre. The story starts out with the heroine demeaning herself in an unbelievable way for abusive stepfather. Her mother had no backbone whatsoever even though she was financially well off and could have left him had she wanted to. Heroine had several opportunities to tell hero what she was being forced to do but stupidly kept quiet. In fact she didn't even tell her mother what the stepfather was forcing her to do. Stupid and Annoying!

what I liked
- the writing, was smooth and flowed well
- lots of angst but didn't bog down into endless inner monologues
- good dialogue, not hateful bickerfests
- hero, didn't descend into jerkdom and couldn't help treating heroine sweetly at times
- heroine, wasn't TSTL but bit too self-sacrificing
- very steamy for a HP
- no virginity-as-proof-of-innocence or oops-pregnancy tropes
- the ending
what I didn't like
- spineless mother who wouldn't divorce abusive hubs even though she had million $ of real estate to fall back on
- heroine didn't tell mother what her hubs was forcing her to do and drag stoopid mom outta there
- heroine playing up (or down) to hero's poor opinion of her, why must they always do that?
what I didn't understand
- pimp stepdaddy's scheme, how was heroine seducing hero supposed to sabotage his business deal?
classic Harlequin moment: heroine getting groped by stepdad's creepy pal and hero jealously assuming she's lining up her next sugar daddy. Oy!

Her BEST book. DO NOT LET BAD REVIEWS DISCOURAGE YOU FROM READING THIS STORY
1 Jan 2012
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Hello
I read all Abby Green books and this one is her best in my opinion. The hero is abominably betrayed by our heroine whom he fell in love with. He does not know she is forced into this by her violent step-father. Despite not having much illusion about her, I feel that he tries to build a relationship with her. What I liked is that despite the circumstances, he is respectful with regard to her. A heroine with guts who does not let him walk all over her despite the situation she found herself forced into (I do not want to tell too much).
One of the reviewer said the heroine 'is demeaning herself in an unbelievable way for her abusive stepfather' and that 'her mother had no backbone whatsoever'. I do think it is a quick judgement as our heroine and her mother have only known violence from the moment her mother gets married again. There are other reasons that are explained in the book. This reviewer also said 'Heroine had several opportunities to tell hero what she was being forced to do'. Once again it is not so easy to trust someone you barely know even if the heroine was attracted to him. Don not forget that we, readers, get to know the hero more than the heroine does (at the begining at least). I think the story is very believable.
I think the story was very moving. An excellent read.
