Back Cover:
He couldn't resist her innocence…
Nick Coleman was one of Sydney's most eligible billionaires. Love 'em and leave 'em—that was Nick's mantra. But he couldn't do that to Sarah; he had promised he would act as her guardian and protect her. Yet he wanted her, badly…. Sarah was soon to claim her inheritance.
She'd be a sitting duck to predators looking for a rich, innocent girl. Perhaps it was Nick's responsibility to personally teach her how wicked and seductive a man could be….
My Review:
Yeah, the back cover was misleading. It says "her innocence" and "teaching her" when really the heroine has had multiple lovers (though they were not very good lovers) and is pretty casual about sex. It makes the heroine sound as if she's moderately experienced, but just plain bad in the sack.
I'm not too fond of a casual approach to sex, though at least with Miranda Lee books, fair is fair: the hero slept with women during the seven years since he was first attracted to the heroine, so it's only fair that the heroine should have been free to as well. I was a little disappointed because I was expecting the heroine to be innocent and have her first lover be the man she loved for so many years, I find it a little sad that someone who wasn't special was her first. The chemistry was great between them anyhow, and the heroine made the hero jealous in a good way. (Though I thought the whole point of having a guardian plot was to have the hero stopping her from getting involved with other men... and he didn't.)
Rating: 3/5 stars, I think this book was mistakenly marketed as if the heroine was a virgin, and that screwed with my expectations. I'd been looking forward to reading this one for two months, and I was watching the library hold list to see when it came to my turn, so I was really hyped for it to turn out one way!
