mistress

Back Cover:

All that stands in the way of Dante Carrazzo and revenge is Mackenzi Keogh. Mackenzi will do anything to save her hotel—something Dante uses to his advantage: he'll reconsider if she becomes his mistress! Mackenzi knows she shouldn't trust Dante, but the pleasure he gives is too intense to resist. However, their bargain is compromised when Dante learns she is pregnant….

Favourite Scene:

‘So what was the point of hanging around?’ Mackenzi said, angling up her chin. ‘It was all over in a minute, after which you promptly rolled over and went to sleep. Hardly worth hanging around for.’

The cockiness slid from his face, her insult finding its mark. ‘All over in a minute? Seems to me I remember you enjoying every second of that minute.’

She shrugged. ‘It was okay, I guess.’

Back Cover:

Favourite Scene: 

'Would you like to sit down?' she asked nervously, bending down to scoop a pile of magazines off a chair. Her top rode up a few inches at the back to reveal a slender strip of pale creamy skin.

 'No ...' His drawl was thickened by his Greek accent and his hands clenched into defensive fists. He wanted to touch that smooth, tantalising stretch of naked flesh in view. In fact he wanted to do a whole hell of a lot more than just touch Hope. After weeks of enduring a worryingly uninterested libido, he was rampant. He wanted to drag her down on the bed, rip off her clothes and have sex with her. Hot and deep and fast, out of control, mind-blowing as it was only with her.
 

Back Cover:

Tara was convinced that there was no place for a pregnant mistress in Max's life, or was there?   Spoiler Warning: All my reviews contain spoilers  

Favourite Scene: (good confrontation moment)

'Even better was the fact that I had the makings of such a cheap mistress. A dress here and there. The odd outing. Some champagne and you'd be In Like Flynn.'
‘Now, hold it right there!' he ground out. 'Firstly, I was never unfaithful to you. Not once. Secondly, I never thought of you as my mistress. I always meant to marry you, Tara. When the time was right.'

Back Cover:

He was wrong in his assessment of her

Completely wrong. But as far as Leon Venetos was concerned, there was no smoke without fire.

The scandalmongers had branded Alexa as the mistress of wealthy financier Sam Darcy and that was enough for Leon. 'Women like you are easily bought for the price of a fewjewels,' he told her contemptuously.

That was why Alexa fought so hard against the attraction that drew her inexorably toward him. A man who could never offer her what she really wanted.... 

Favourite Scene: (heroine gets teased by the hero's little brother, love how he says the last line "politiely"!)

‘Well, well, well,’ he murmured as he advanced into the room, ‘that didn’t take long.’
Alexa’s mouth hardened into a straight line. ‘Your brother brought—’
‘Naturally!’
‘... brought me here because of this cyclone.’
‘Not because of your legs?’ He inspected them both, taking his time. Stunned, Alexa stared at him.
‘I’d have brought you here because of your legs,’ he said politely 

I really liked this book!  The hero is hunky but a bit of a geek. :)  The heroine has hang ups that are real.  LOVED the email posts between them!  Excellent read!

I liked this book.  The hero was strong and the heroine was equally strong.  Not sure about the black moment.  Nothing really tragic happened to pull the lovers apart.  Still, it was a refreshing read.  And very hot!

Faye will do anything to save her family's restaurant. And her ex-lover Dante Valenti will help her...if she becomes his mistress for a month! But the multimillionaire hasn't forgotten the way she left him. He'll serve up his revenge as coldly as he can, even while burning up the sheets!

Coming to Mills & Boon December 2008.

Hot hot hot!  The sexual tension almost burns your finger while you read.  Loved this book and the internal conflicts that Abby created for her hero and heroine are very raw and real.  Definately a keeper!
