Plot: Lacey and Damon had a fling when she was just out of highschool, and then she ran away. Now, she's back to help take over her father's hotel and bring it up to speed. When she realizes that she can't, she goes to Damon and tries to get him to help. He will, but only if they resume their relationship.

I like Leigh Michaels; I think that she writes some of the better Harlequin Romance books out there. That being said, this is not one of her stronger efforts. The characters are interesting, but the plot didn't really hold me. There was so much wishy-washy on the part of Lacey that it got a little tiresome after a time.

All in all, though, it was an enjoyable read, and if there was nothing to distinguish it from the pack, at least there was nothing to drag it into the garbage heap.

I really disliked the H

I read this story in the "Married in Name Only" bundle on KU. Here is my review from there:

"This is one of those I remember because it was so hard to read. The main characters had dated 2 years before but the h ran off to NY when the H told her that he'd never marry her and that he didn't believe in love. Now she needs the H to buy her parents hotel and he agrees provided she become his mistress. Obviously, the story is very dated. Anyway, he says he'll technically marry her so he can have sex with her until he tires of her then they'll get divorced. He agrees to the marriage because he doesn't want her parents to know that he only wanted sex from her. Honestly, it was really tough to read and I agreed with the h's pov that she was more a less a prostitute to him. The H was a complete ass for most of the story and the author even put in an epilogue but I think it was to convince us that they really did have an hea."

Left with a puzzle

First off, I have to say that it was hilarious that every single time the h thought about her father she referred to him as Bill Clinton. Every time!!

The H, Damon Kendrick wasn't awful but it really would have been nice to get his POV. We do find out why he had no intention of ever marrying and having children, but I would have liked to know how he felt when Lacey had disappeared for two years to New York. I wanted to know if he was sorry that she had left and I would have liked some solid confirmation that he had the hotel plans before he even made the outrageous proposal to Lacey. I liked that Lacey grew up though. She ran those years before, she ran from the hard work with the hotel being refurbished but I got the feeling that once Damon came to her again she wouldn't run again. She needed to know how he felt in order to stay for the long haul.

It seemed they got their HEA after a bit of a misunderstanding, but this reader was left wondering about that. Towards the end you get the one line about Lacey thinking that Damon loves Michael, their child, but sometimes she thinks that Damon would have preferred that she made a different choice that day in Arizona. That was a bit puzzling.
