Where on Earth did this spring from? From the cover, it looks like yet another "hot Mediterranean businessman sweeps innocent girl off her feet and away from all her troubles" piece. And, I suppose, technically that all happens -- but it's not at all what it feels like.
I'm not going to lay the plot out here: it's not fair, because there actually is one and it's not all inevitable from page 8. Once the male lead sets foot on the island of Xanos, unaware it is the place of his birth, a dangerously unpredictable element comes into the story.
Maybe it's the male perspective, but I find a leading man who has some kind of inner journey to make beyond the usual "I suddenly want to settle down and make babies with this nice girl totally unlike my usual type" is enormously refreshing.
The story is far from light and cheerful, the violence and bitterness of the first chapter working its way into the whole narrative, but for real tension and drama this book stands head and shoulders above its more airbrushed rivals.
It looks like there's a sequel, via the good old identical-twin ruse, and there's certainly plenty still left to be uncovered and resolved after the end of this one.

This was a real treat and so much more of a story than you usually get with a M&B Modern.
From the first chapter you were aware that this was a completely different storyline from anything (I) had previously read. I wont tell you the plot as is will sooooooooo spoil the story other than to say I was gutted when I realised I had come to the end of the book!
The epilogue gives me an idea that Zander's story will come next (I DO hope so) and I CANNOT WAIT to read it).
I think this is a 'book' that I will read again and again over the years to come.
Well done Ms Marinelli it was a fab read!

I bought this book on kindle on the previous recommendations, I've done this before and thought "Have I just read the same book these people have raved over?" But I can honestly say this book is amazing. I won't go too much into the plot, surfice it to say that Nico and Connie's (Constantine) story does not begin in the typical romantic way.... the Prologue itself leaves you desparate to read the full story... Carol Marinelli has possibly written one my favourite books of the year.. so good, I've already listed the follow up book... An Indecent Proposition (not due for release posssibly till March 2012) on my wish list.
