Header PromotionThe Spaniard's Pregnancy Proposal
Back of book blurb:
Antonio Rochas attracts women like moths to a flame. Casual affairs are his calling card...until he meets Fleur. She's uninterested and unavailable-and like a red flag to a bull!
Forced by an unfortunate accident to stay at Antonio's luxury mansion, Fleur is caught up in his whirlwind of passionate seduction. But now Antonio wants more-and he knows just how he'll get it: by making Fleur pregnant!
What is really in the book:
About two years before the book begins Fleur, had given up her dreams and began to support her "fiance" through law school by waitressing. When Fleur was rushed to the hospital her friend went to Fleur's apartment to get her some things and found the "fiance" in bed with another woman. Fleur lost her baby.
Two years later she is teaching in a small college (although, if she quit school and went into waitressing when did she get the qualifications to teach in college?), living in a small cottage all her own, with a dog that had been rescued from an abusive situation.
Antonio suddenly finds himself with a 13 year old daughter. He didn't know she existed. She didn't know the man her mother was married to was not her father. The former father didn't want the girl, but pretended to her that Antonio was forcing this on them. She kept telling everyone Antonio had kidnapped her.
I don't remember a plan to purposely get Fleur pregnant.
Now doesn't the book sound more interesting than the back blurb made it sound?

w-w-w
Yeah... the back blurb was
Yeah... the back blurb was false! Misleading.
But aside from that, this was a VERY good book. I really enjoyed it. And it made me go out and read whatever Kim Lawrence books I could get my hands on. (I had like a Kim Lawrence day, where I read three or four of her books, a KL marathon LOL!)
Janet
Janet,
I think you and I were twins that were separated at birth!
In case my sentiments didn't come through, I loved this book. There was nothing fake or phony about Fleur and he wasn't the cad he let the world believe him to be. And that poor little girl!
w-w-w
*nods* indeed! very good
*nods* indeed! very good book!
And yay! i'm happy to have a twin. It means I have people around who read my reviews and share their own reviews of the same books with me! That way it's a good circle, and I'm constantly getting new books I'd like shown to me by other peeps. (or at the rate I read, it's a bit more likely that I'm able to coerce other people into reading the books I read. After all, I've read 100 in a month where other people sometimes just do maybe 10 a month, it's a matter of numbers!)
Ah, the past
I used to read about 100 a month, but now I have slowed down. My daughter reads about 100. I read half of that, because I need to write. As much as I love the reading I have to get some of my stories down on paper and out of my head.
It was getting too full.
w-w-w
you write w-w-w? anything
you write w-w-w? anything published? I could critique for ya if you wanted.
I've been tempted before to write myself... when the books I'm reading aren't hitting the spot, I start thinking "I'd love it if there was a book with this happening".... and I've plotted out ideas, but haven't fleshed it out into a full book. I've made about half a dozen "good starts" on ideas I've had. But somewhere after 10 000 words I kind of fall off.
