When his stepbrother had married Julie, Angelo Van Zaal had both Julie and her sister Flora investigated because he was Flora Bennett was one stubborn and independent young woman. When his stepbrother had married Julie, Angelo Van Zaal had both Julie and her sister Flora investigated because he was concerned they were gold diggers. He found out Flora had an affair with her boss and was let go causing a public scandal.

What the handsome billionaire didn't know was that it was all a lie. At the time, Flora had been engaged and her fiance broke off the engagement due to the scandal. She was a beautiful woman and God help him, he was attracted to this firey virgin. Flora was in shock when she learned that her sister and bother-in law were drug addicts and outraged that Angelo hadn't told her.

They kissed, made love and were both shocked over the intensity of their love making.

Flora was embarrassed, in shock because of what they had done. As for Angelo, he wasn't sorry at all. He even invited her to his country home for the weekend. Like all alpha's Angelo was determined to find out if she was carrying his baby, so he booked a test with a doctor who was a friend. Imagine to find out you were not expecting just one baby, but three! For her sake and that of her niece, Flora returned with Angelo to Amsterdam. She adored her little niece and spending time with her until the nanny revealed that the little one had a trust fund.

Why hadn't she been told she wondered?

And then everything hit the fan when Angelo explained about having her investigated and that at one point he thought she might be a gold digger even though she constantly refused any support from him. It all blew up in their faces and what was worse was Flora loved this man with all of her heart, the same heart he had broken by his accusations.

However, she realized she needed to concentrate on Mariska and her babies because this man would never love her or commit. It was obvious during her last remaining months before her children were born, she would stay on in Amsterdam but absolutely would not sleep in his bed.

A good read,liked both the characters Recommend it Jun 28, Treece rated it really liked it Shelves: Wow, it is so easy to gobble these HP books up like candy!

This enjoyable story of an unexpected pregnancy between very independent ginger-haired Flora and sexy tycoon Angelo was sweet and spicy. There was a couple of unexpected twists, and amazing dialogue. The best part is Flora didn't allow Angelo to walk all over her, and she didn't back down.

Angelo was honest and fair, and it was nice to see him out of his depth with Flora. Both were likeable characters, and there was an undertone of humor Wow, it is so easy to gobble these HP books up like candy! Both were likeable characters, and there was an undertone of humor with Flora's pets. Their little niece, Mariska, is the perfect touch in helping to cement their relationship. If I had to say anything, it would be Flora tumbled into bed with Angelo rather easily and quickly but considering their mutual loss, it would be the thing to knock her off her guard.

This is book two in a trio but it can be read as a stand-alone. Enjoyable, sexy and interesting to the end. Oct 04, Jacqueline rated it it was ok Shelves: It was more tell than show. The plot was not real tight and the scene where the heroine finds out that the hero thought she was a gold digger did not really hang together well. I didn't really care about either main character.

The Flora and Angelo are forced together to care for their nine month old niece when both her parents die in a car crash. But things change when a quick shag on a houseboat leads to Flora becoming pregnant. There is a lot of animosity between Flora and Angelo. He believes she is a gold digging tramp and she finds him a controlling man whore. They both allow their past experiences to color the way they view each other, causing lots of unnecessary drama. I liked the way Flor A very enjoyable read.

I liked the way Flora stood up to Angelo. It shocked him that a woman would speak to him with such open hostility. He is used to women kowtowing to him. However, learning that she was pregnant with multiples forced her into accepting assistance from Angelo. It was a hard thing to do but she opted to try to work with him because of the babies. The problems came when she found out what he really thought about her.

She was shattered and swore to keep her distance even though she loved him. I liked how Angelo humbled himself at the end. He was a pretty straightforward guy, and you could tell that the distance between he and Flora was killing him. His big confession of love was sweet and Flora kinda made him work for that HEA.

Pretty ho-hum, this plot has been done a bajillion times and this story didn't add anything new the triplet angle didn't really affect the story.

I like Lynne Graham in general, but the emotion wasn't there in this one. Aug 25, Maura rated it liked it Shelves: When Flora's half-sister dies, she goes to the funeral with expectations of adopting her one-year old niece, but her plans are sort of put on hold by her niece's uncle, Angelo. He believes Flora to be the worst kind of gold-digger and doesn't want her to have custody of the little girl. But despite how much he dislikes Flora, he's incredibly attracted to her and she to him and they end up having sex. And she ends up pregnant, with triplets. Surprisingly for Angelo, Flora initially refuses all of When Flora's half-sister dies, she goes to the funeral with expectations of adopting her one-year old niece, but her plans are sort of put on hold by her niece's uncle, Angelo.

Surprisingly for Angelo, Flora initially refuses all offer of assistance, not in character for a gold-digger. But he finally gets her to live with him, and for a brief time, back into his bed. But once Flora learns of Angelo's real opinion of her, she won't want to be with him for long. This was kind of take it or leave it. It started out kind of strong with the chemistry between the characters. Angelo was a decent guy for the most part, not an asshat hero at all, and he had a lot of patience for Flora and her temper.

But Flora's falling in love with Angelo was way too out of the blue. They had sex once after months of disliking and never seeing each other, then they spend more time apart with Angelo nagging her and Flora avoiding, then after he finds out she's pregnant they spend even more time actively disliking and avoiding one another, then they get back together and spend one night together.

After the orgasm passes, she realizes she loves him. And a big Why? Her mental explanation for it was not convincing.

So after the big reveal about his opinions about Flora, they spend the rest of the book pretty much not interacting at least not on the page and living together like monks. Several months later, Angelo admits that he loves her. I was also somewhat disappointed that, because Flora was 7 months pregnant with triplets and on bed rest when the conclusion came about, they couldn't make love.

They'd basically just gone 5 months without sex and now that they'd made up and admitted their love, they couldn't have sex again for at least 2 or 3 more months. It was good as I expected, but somewhat different from what I know of Ms. It was very entertaining and had more of a male spin included. Again when I completed I thought it was Good and Cute! I Loved this book! Usually most heros in all harlequin book are tough and somtimes the heroines are just as strong Lynne Graham at her best.

Found the story line captivating. The unexpected pregnancy was a bonus gift in the overall effect of book. Nice twist to the story. See all 12 reviews. Most recent customer reviews.
