Very boring book with a thin plot and no chemistry between the characters. It wasn't believable for them to be together..

Lots of tension!

A sexy take on an enemies to lovers story!

Ten years ago, an ugly confrontation happened between Clementine Scott and Alistair Hawthorne that was mostly based on raw emotions and mistaken intentions. She was left with the attitude that all men were horrible and she had no intention of ever having a relationship with one again, especially the arrogant Alistair!

Fast forward 10 years and she's approached by a seething Alistair again telling her that her little brother has taken off with his step-sister and she has to help him track them down. She resists having anything to do with him, but he doesn't give her any choice if she wants her brother to be safe.

As they spend time together, the true story of what had happened years earlier comes out and they forgive each other for the misunderstanding. They can't resist the attraction that is flaring up between them, so they decide on a a one week fling ... will either of them be able to walk away after just one week?

This one had me smiling

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2016

WOW MS Milburne knows how to write a story that gives the reader an emotional journey to a HEA one that will keep you smiling as you turn the pages I love the feelings that she brings out in me as the reader while I get to know the characters.

Clementine Scott, Clem as she likes to called has lead a pretty rough life growing up with her beautiful mother who flits from one man to another, Clem's father is not around and she has a half brother Jamie that she cares very much for. She has body image problems stemming from a terrible time at the age of sixteen although she is beautiful now she is still not convinced, she works hard with books old books collecting them and is always looking out for them. But when a blast from her past walks into the shop she is stunned and reminded of her teenage years Alistair Hawthorne was back in her life and when he insists that she accompany him to Morocco looking for his step sister who has run off with Jamie where will this lead?

Alistair is furious when his step sister runs off with none other than Jamie Scott he has not seen Clem of Jamie for ten years when is father has a fling with their mother but he needs to get is step sister back and there is only one person who can help and there is a spark when they meet again Clem has grown into a beautiful woman who appears to be strong but with a vulnerability to her how long will he be able to deny this pull?

Yes pick this one up sit back and enjoy you will not want to be disturbed while jetting across Morocco and getting to know Alistair and Clem and see them enjoy a very sensual journey that opens up a lot of wounds from the past but in turn helps them fall very much in love I do highly recommend this one it really does tick all the boxes that a beautiful romance requires I loved it.

Can they rise above past mistakes.

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2016

I really felt for Clem. Having a father in jail and a mother who was incredibly useless. Bringing up her younger brother and continually being used for money by her waste of a space of a mother. She had a lot to deal with. As well as having very low self esteem about her weight. She continually but others first and forgot about her own needs.

Then we have the hero Alistair. His mother was terminally ill with cancer. And his father couldn't deal with it. So he met Clem's mother and moved her into his house. While the mother was dying in hospital.
It's a lot for Alistair to deal with, losing his mother and another woman moving into the family home with her two kids.

Fast forward to the present time, and Alistair has been left in charge of the teenage daughter of one of his fathers exes.
He intends to ship here off to boarding school. Harriet isn't happy with this, and ends up running off too the French riviera. With Clem's little brother Jamie. Taking Alistairs car and money.
Alistair hunts down Clem at the bookshop she works at, demanding she comes with him to hunt down the runaways.
While away things get steamy between them and quickly passion becomes love.
Can they find ever lasting happiness despite the issues holding them back?

Another fantastic book by Melanie Milburne.

I thought this was really sweet..the heroine had low self esteem/not great childhood/parents; basically lots of issues and hero in their current situation encourages her to think better about her self/gain confidence etc...although this Mills & Boon Modern category is one the least I read (preferring their historical and western) this book was short (literally the actually story takes place within a short duration) and sweet...
for +18 only
