Enjoyable read
9 Sep 2000
Format:Paperback
Lily was attracted to one brother but married another. Recently widowed, she had no one to turn to except Dane. While he still despised and resented Lily for marrying his brother, Dane found that he was still tormentingly attracted to Lily. Lily, on her part, was determined to keep the real reason for her marriage a secret although this meant her having to endure Dane's contempt and anger. It seemed that they needed to clear their heads about each other and so agreed to spend 6 months apart. How they got together again makes a heartwarming and compelling read. Michelle Reid usually writes a good story. The lead characters fairly sizzle together. The bedroom scenes are a combination of tenderness and heartache. A most enjoyable read.

Decent
9 Sep 2003
Format:Paperback
I agree with the other reviewer in that this book was lacking the typical Reid passion. I didn't particularly care for the backstory between the two, with Lily being engaged to Daniel, then meeting Dante. Despite the obvious attraction between the two, she still marries Daniel. Her motives become obvious (painfully obvious, making it ridiculous that Dante would be so blind), but it is really the ease with which Dante simply let her go and marry his brother that really seemed out of place with a Reid hero. Nevertheless, it was still a relatively good book, keeping me involved in the characters and their love story, if somewhat unimpressed.
From the back: Lily's marriage to Daniel had pitted brother against brother. And now the raging, hate-fueled desire had come full circle with her husband's death. Daniel's brother Dante had made her life hell. He'd arroused a tumult of sexual hunger...of wanting, needing and knowing it could never be. She'd been living a lie - and now was the time to tell Dane the truth. Confession was the only chance Lily had to make him understand - and make him want - her love!

Lacking a Leading Man

I just recently read this book mistakenly thinking it was another, I won't say it was a waste of money, however I will say that I wished that the author had done justice to what was a serious and realistic issue. I'm not going to rehash the plot because its already been stated, but I will say this I thought well of the heroine it took strength to marry someone knowing from the on set that it was a paper marriage and all you really meant to them was a way to save face in front of their family, while in private you lived in a house with your husband and his male lover as if you were the guest and not the lady of the house.
I get that her husband Daniel didn't feel that the love and trust between himself and his family was strong enough for him to come out to them about his sexuality, but I also think it was selfish on his part to hem Lily up into a loveless and sexless marriage meanwhile him and his lover played house. My other problem with this book was Dante, he was a class "A" jacka**; there was nothing lovable or compassionate about him at any point in this book. He lusted after his brother's wife and was angry with her because even though she was attracted to him as well she hadn't dumped his brother to be with his lofty self. At no point is his undisguised anger and sometimes what I detected as hatered towards Lily justified.
Even after Dante finds out the true nature of Lily and Daniel's marriage he still finds reason to be horribly cruel towards her; meanwhile she is harboring this unrequited love for a man that had she originally given him what he wanted, which was to sleep with him; he would have still found away to make her out to be a gold digging tramp. I understood Lily's struggle to try and stay loyal to her deceased husband's as well as her wanting to be free of it all to pursue a relationship with this jerk Dante, but in the end I thought she could do a lot better for herself and just cut ties with Dante and his dysfunctional attitude.
