Kimberly has received a blackmail note asking for 5 million. (too bad that we are not privy to the contents of this note) Kimberly doesn't have that kind of money, but the man that unknowingly fathered her child does. So Kimberly yanks up her big girl panties and heads off to get Luc to give her some cash to satisfy the blackmailer. She hasn't seen Luc since she believed he was cheating on her and walked away. (BTW, Luc had orchestrated that event because . . . well he is typical . . . afraid of his feelings and wants to put a stop to them!) Soon after Kimberly had left him it appears that she is just another gold digger - because apparently Kimberly had some credit cards that she used once he had kicked her to the curb. Or was it she had kicked him to the curb for his cheating? Doesn't really matter in the end, I suppose. At any rate, in order for Luc to give Kimberly the money he wants two weeks w/ her and he does NOT believe that there is a kid it's just a tactic the little gold digger is using.

I like the dynamics b/w Kimberly and Luc and how he didn't truly believe her about the child given what he believed of her gold digging traits. Of course, Kimberly didn't exactly get a DNA test either, but perhaps she really didn't want Luc back in their lives and she only went to him for the cash anyway.

You will have to get past this scared mom leaving her child for two weeks when he was virtually threatened by some blackmailer (see would have been nice to know the contents of that little note. However, I just figured since she paid the blackmailer and they are notoriously trustworthy she figured the kid was safe. LOL!) and see that both Kimberly and Luc really do care about each other. Did I want to smack Luc a few times? You betcha! When he sees the little mini-me he gets mad that she never told him - uh did you forget that the whole reason she came to see you is to get help for the wee one. Also let's not forget that she did try to contact you years ago, but you put up a lot of road blocks so that she couldn't. Yes, Kimberly could have tried harder and probably should have over the years and frankly okay she could use a nice tap as well!

Luc gets jealous and all alpha man when he believes she may have some other guy in her life - I'm guessing he had had several someones over the years since Kimberly though. Yet she didn't seem overly upset by this. Kimberly does get a few smarmy comments to Luc too and that helped. I truly believed that these two loved each other in the end and I didn't even need those rose colored glasses.

One of my problems was that if he was so overly concerned w/ the credit cards: why didn't he cancel them, wouldn't the purchases show up on the statements and he would be able to tell what she purchased and then he would have known before that she was buying things for a child. Maybe he was just so dense and he didn't think about it, but seriously . . . why not?
She doesn't give in easily to him either, she makes him work for things and that was a nice change too. Also during their two weeks he even allows, okay was tricked, into handing over control to her and I liked that as well!

Brazilian billionaire Luc Santoro is just gorgeous and powerful in this book. And Kimberly is no weakling either. The emotional intensity and seduction pieces are very well written. This book is a real page turner.

There were good parts to this book but it was just so illogical that it was hard to get in to. The whole premise of the heroine finally going to tell the hero they have a 6 yr old son bc she was threatened (not harmed or kidnapped just one note threatening) she must come up with $5 Millon dollars. Not going and asking him for protection or to find the blackmailer who would obviously come back for more later. $5 million is alot of money and should be easily traced. It was just too stupid a story line for me

Lead Characters: Kimberley & Luc. Kimberley starts out as an incredible and dimwitted Wimp to Luc's incredible Alpha male. In fact, I do believe that Luc is the worst (or would that be best?) Alpha I have ever encountered in any book, ever. So you Alpha males out there need to steer clear of this book, or you'll be spouting steam from your ears!

Kimberley actually finds her backbone about 2/3 of the way through the book. She never told Luc off the way I would have, but then we have a allow for personality differences, even in book characters. I was pleasantly surprised & pleased to read how Kimberley did an about-face and started leading Mr. Alpha Male around by the nose...and so was he! We don't get very much of the male character's perspective until almost the middle of the book, when he starts to get confused over his "addiction" to Kimberley. It was nice to see him humbled over & over. :) There were some very humourous moments in this story, also; which was another reason I leaned towards a 4-star rating instead of 3.

SPOILER ALERT:

Kimberley goes to Luc to beg for $5 million because a blackmailer has threatened their child--a child Luc knows nothing about, because when he ruthlessly broke up with K. years ago, he refused all phone calls or attempts by her to visit him and tell him she was pregnant. She went back to her hometown and, after being shunned by her parents, she used Luc's credit cards to sustain her & their baby with necessities. For that, he believes she is a gold-digger. He treats her with no respect whatsoever, and that is very hard to read until he starts showing that he truly does care. Eventually there is more danger, but I don't want to give away the entire story.

I would have given this book 3.5 stars, not 4, if I was given that option. Reason: How can a mother leave her child in a dangerous situation for that long, even if he is with her trusted best friend? I had a huge problem with that part of the story, plus the part where she didn't just ask to have a DNA test performed to prove that their child was Luc's. (He is so arrogant & alpha that he does not believe her "story" about why she needs $5 million for blackmail in which their 6-year old child is threatened unless the $$ is delivered. Plus, you would think Luc would at *least* make sure she wasn't telling the truth before he took even a remote chance of putting a possible child of his in danger.

Other than that, I am glad I read the book, because the way Luc has to eat crow and do as K. says (Yes!!) in order to get something he wants was priceless, and I loved the humor and passion in this book. Sarah Morgan has a really nice writing style, and this could have easily been a 5-star book if just a little more of those pesky details had been seen to.

There were aspects of this book I found difficult to resolve. A woman goes to a man to inform him he is a father. She knows she will need to prove it but darn if she does not have a single photo with her. Not even his birth certificate. An alpha male is told he is a father. He spent wasn't too believe it. So he doesn't. Wouldn't such an intelligent ruthless business man at least have one of his people check it out? All of that aside. I was charmed by the development of their relationship. I was moved by both hers and his emotions. She began standing up to him. She was no doormat. They resolved differences in a romantically satisfying way.
