He Needed a Virgin...
It was pre-ordained that Greek billionaire Zac Kyriakos would marry a woman pure of heart and body. His quest had proved futile until he found sheltered heiress Pandora Armstrong whose youth, beauty and naivety suited all his needs.
Zac's whirlwind courtship swept Pandora off her feet—but it wasn't until after their amazing wedding night that she discovered why Zac had wanted her so desperately. Now she was left to doubt her husband's true feelings...and wonder if he would still want his virgin bride when he found out she hadn't been....
My thoughts
This is only the second book that I have read by Radley and I am still impressed. There was quite a bit of bickering between the H and the h but the ending was quite nice and all of the issues were resolved. I kept waiting for things to happen, that just seemed obvious that they would happen but they never did, which I enjoyed because it kept me on my toes.

So Penn has a really good idea to help us get our reading numbers up for the year. You can find her post here. http://community.eharlequin.com/content/my-challenge-yall-july-and-august
I think it's a wonderful idea and I hope that many of you decide to join in. Not only will it help me dig in to some of my Desires and Presents that I have been overlooking for other reads all year long but it will also increase our reading tally at a faster rate.
I've loved the Tessa Radley
I've loved the Tessa Radley books I've read so far. But I picked this one up and skimmed it very thoroughly, and I find the plot a bit too icky.
(spoilers: he needs a virgin, and she reveals that she's not a virgin, and the guy who she was with goes public and causes the H/h embarrassment and scandal, eek, poor heroine had a few minutes of bad sex one day in her life, and it seemed to spoil her chance at a HEA)
Thought this was great!
Although I admit I was a bit worried going into this one. She took a very controversial situation and made it work for the story. I've enjoyed Tessa's books since the first one I read and have to read the others as they come out.
