Header PromotionGolden Fever by Carole Mortimer (HP 579)
Back Cover:
For five years she tried to forget him. During that time Clare had become a confident, mature, engaged woman-as well as an internationally famous film star. "Rourke Somerville is bad news for any girl, " the young Clare had been told. If only she had listened she could have spared herself a lot of pain, for Rourke had made a mockery of her love. Yet seeing him again brought back memories as vivid as yesterday. And Clare was soon making a mockery of her engagement to another man.
Favourite Scene: (I love the "when can I have you?" line)
'It matters to me what you want," he answered her now. 'Do you want me?'
His direct approach was too much for her, and she blushed a deep red. 'Certainly not!' she replied in a shocked voice.
'I want you.'
Clare swallowed hard. 'You—you do?'
'Mm,' he nodded, his eyes warm on her lips. 'When can I have you?'
My Review:
I like that the hero stopped his womanizing ways after meeting the heroine five years ago, it's always nice when both partners think that they have something special and don't think other people can fill the gap when they are apart. I liked the passion, anger, jealousy, and slight deception/conflict in this book, the emotions were very high strung and it made for a steamy read. I loved how they kept coming together and kissing/touching. It was interesting having the hero/heroine have adjoining rooms, and though it was kind of stalkerish, it was very sweet how the hero kept coming into her room, sitting and waiting for her, standing over her and checking that she was ok. I wish there had been a few scenes of the filming of the movie they were working on: we never saw the hero/heroine act out a scene together! That would have been intense, especially if they had a public kiss. It seemed a bit unnatural for a book about an actor/actress to have no scenes on set.
My Rating: 3.5/5 stars, passion combined with a surprise reveal of fidelity, great read, slightly dated by passage of time.
