Format:Paperback
Personally, I worry about stories that have sweet young women facing up to worldy, cynical men. In real life, they get eaten and spat out with a confidentiality agreement before you can say breakfast. Fortunately, Maggie Cox is aware of this and makes the story a bit more interesting.
Plot line: Grace, a charity worker, runs across Marco, billionaire orphan, while on holiday and asks him for a donation to fund the work she does in Africa. Marco eventually agrees with the proviso she spends the rest of her holiday with him. Yes, he does finally seduce our young heroine but he doesn't leave her as such. Grace needs to fly to Africa to help during a plague and she is forced to chose between him (and his money) or the orphanage she works at. No brainer here - she leaves him. He is devastated but realises that he must get over himself in order to win the woman of his heart.
What did I like? Grace is tougher than she looks. Grace is driven but has self respect. Grace knows she isn't the brightest spark in the box, but doesn't apologise for it. Marco is manipulative and knows it but has a conscience. He isn't a games man as such and seems to have a genuine interest early on for Grace. Marco's orphan past isn't as ghastly as it could have been and does have a balanced bearing on his character.
What didn't I like? The writing at times was long winded and slightly ambiguous. The secondary characters were a bit flat. They were either black or white. In an era where Hollywood children are as important as the films their parents are in, why does Lincoln Roberts treat his daughter as an after though? Although a good device to show Grace's interaction with a child, it did come across as that as we already knew that Marco had a lousy childhood. And yes, the sex ends in pregnancy.
The book isn't really bad or really good. I guess it would be okay for an airport.
