In the gossip rags, socialite Lizzie Denton's situation looks pretty ugly… Lizzie meets boy, Lizzie dumps boy, brokenhearted boy dies in horrific car crash. Suddenly she's public enemy number one. And a disinherited heiress, to boot. No job, no home and only a designer wardrobe to keep her company. But the worst part is that the papers got it wrong, and Lizzie promised not to tell anyone the truth. Devastated by the death of his half brother, Greek tycoon Sebasten Contaxis decides to punish the woman responsible: Lizzie Denton. But when he discovers that the stunning woman he can't keep his hands off-an inexplicable case of lust at first sight-is the same woman he's been seeking, Sebasten alters his scheme. After all, one broken heart deserves another, right? And revenge is so much sweeter when it's served in bed-that is, until Lizzie has some surprising news for him.… (meer)

Another solid story by Lynne Graham. The story sucked me right in. The story developed slightly askew from how you think it's going to. The spoiled socialite heroine, Lizzie, is pretty gutsy and stands up for herself. After she gets unfairly blamed for the suicide of a former boyfriend, everyone turns their backs on her. When her father kicks her out, she just digs in and starts trying to change her life and do for herself. She can't help that that very night she meets Sebasten the dead man's half brother who is out for revenge.

Here's where the story starts to leave track. Sebasten tries hard to be an asshat but really can't follow through. He is insanely jealous but the different part is that Lizzie sees the jealousy and understands that his asshat actions are driven by it and calls him on it instead of whimpering 'poor little me, I don't understand why he's so mean' like most HP heroine's do.

Sebasten in fact is almost an alpha beta character. He's rich and arrogant and is continually trying to arrange things his way but she just won't roll over and stay downtrodden. There's quite a bit in his POV and you see him thinking or planning something and getting it all wrong and basically being a clueless guy.

There were a bunch of misunderstandings, most of them dealt with fairly quickly. There was one that happened where the heroine said something that Sebasten misunderstood that I just don't think she would have said given the situation between them. That contrived misunderstanding was one of the only sour notes in the book so I forgave it.

I thought the explanations and groveling at the end were pretty thorough. Satisfying read, especially considering I read it at the end of a crappy day so I really needed something to get swept up in. ( )

These books are just something that I enjoy. Even HP books usually have a pretty similar plot, each one still has something unique to the other books. These a brilliant to waste your summer holiday on and I'm looking forward to reading yet another one of these HP books. Just love them. ( )

When Sebasten Contaxis strode to Ingrid Morgan's side to offer his condolences on the death of her only son, she fell on his chest and just sobbed as though her heart had broken right through.
