It pained me to read this book。 PAINED ME。 Lynne Graham is one of my favorite HP authors。 This did not read like Lynne Graham。 It read like a series of incomplete thoughts that led to scenes that also ended prematurely。 The plot moved very fast as did the couple's sexual relationship。 The love scenes were incredibly dissatisfying and felt mechanical。 The prose and voice of the characters really bothered me。 They were so unnatural。 IF Lynne Graham wrote this， it's as she doesn't understand how yo It pained me to read this book。 PAINED ME。 Lynne Graham is one of my favorite HP authors。 This did not read like Lynne Graham。 It read like a series of incomplete thoughts that led to scenes that also ended prematurely。 The plot moved very fast as did the couple's sexual relationship。 The love scenes were incredibly dissatisfying and felt mechanical。 The prose and voice of the characters really bothered me。 They were so unnatural。 IF Lynne Graham wrote this， it's as she doesn't understand how young-ish people think and act。 I wish I could tell her to not overthink it and to just do what she's done so well in the past。 Her books the past couple years have been not up to her usual standard。 I miss the days of the 2000s HPs that featured Greek and Italian millionaire businessmen with secret pregnancies and angsty love stories！ 。。。more

she doesn't allow this initial conflict （and its concomitant misunderstandings） to drag on and fuel the core storyline all the way to the end。 By the time we get to the 38% point in the novel， this primary conflict is cleared up when the H learns that Tatiana's not another lazy， self absorbed， opportunistic socialite like her cousin。 What follows， is the MC's budding *friends with benefits* marriage， that's further complicated by an unexpected pregnancy。 Both MC's are falling in love with each other， simultaneously， but each is so concerned with emotional self preservation issues， that inaccurate assumptions， on both sides， are made。 She thinks she's not good enough for him and this causes her to be proud and snarky， in an effort to prove that her emotions aren't involved。 He interprets this as a sign that she's just sexually attracted to him but can't wait to be free to move on with her life。 Despite these significant misunderstandings， it's evident that they truly care for each other。 He's the one who's there for her after her mom dies and he also uncovers proof of her relatives' ongoing efforts to steal her inheritance。 During this part of the story， the heroine REALLY started to get on my nerves because she kept looking for ways to defend her disgusting relatives， when the H rightfully insisted that they deserved to be jailed for their crimes。 She was even concerned about her selfish slagbitch cousin Ana， even after Ana literally told her that she now wanted the H for herself， when she saw how hot and handsome he was。 Isn't it ludicrously farcical for a heroine to feel sorry for another female who has told her that she intends to go after her man？ At this point， I started laughing at the unbelievable naivety of this heroine， who was mouthy towards the wonderful H but bent down like a bargain basement doormat， so that her sickening relatives， who hate her， could stomp all over her with their shit stained shoes。 It's like she was still desperate for her relatives' approval and hadn't yet learnt that important life lesson:It's almost enough to make me want a little bit of timeout from this heroine。。。I wasn't even bothered too much by the pushy antics of slagbitch cousin Ana， because she was just behaving true to form and。。。 But， I ended up empathizing with the heroine， because she owned up to her errors in judgement， long before she realized that the H was also in love with her。 And similarly， the H also showed significant self awareness when he figured out that he needs to be less controlling， if he wants the then pregnant heroine to stay with him。 I definitely enjoyed this more than The Ring the Spaniard Gave Her， Lynne Graham's preceding novel。 It's nice change to read a sexy-sweet love story about a H who goes all out for his heroine， even before he realizes that he's in love with her。 But it doesn't mean I'm in a hurry to give up on those ruthless alpha assholes though。。。The highlight of this novel was the well deserved comeuppance for the heroine's aunt and uncle， who were both imprisoned for their crimes。 But what I couldn't understand was how the heroine ended up becoming best friends with her slagbitch cousin Ana 🤔。 That woman seemed to have been given a LynneGraham™️ personality transplant， by the time I got to the epilogue。 And， speaking of the epilogue: Lynne G delivered a winner with this one， that's set 5 years in the future where the H's 90 year old dad is surrounded by the MC's 3 kids and eagerly awaiting the birth of their 4th。 Fingers crossed that Her Best Kept Royal Secret， which is Angelino's （ Saif's younger half brother ） story is just as good - if not better。Safety: No OW， no OM， no separation and obviously no cheating。 。。。more
