FROM BACK COVER: Why stop at just one night--when he can buy so many more...? Greek multimillionaire Luke Devetzi will do anything to get Jemma Barnes back in his bed for a night of blazing passion... When Luke discovers that Jemma's father is in financial trouble and in need of a loan, he is willing to pay it...but only if Jemma agrees to become his convenient wife! If you are familiar with Jacqueline Baird's books, then you either hate her heroes or you love them, no in-betweens. The hero in this book, Luke, although he's demonstrated some ruthlessness, isn't as overbearing as some of her other heroes... Luke met and fell in love with Jemma a year ago, they had a one-night stand, but he kicked her out after he thaught she was married... Jemma was feeling very vulnerable on the night she met Luke, she was missing her husband, so was susceptible to Luke's charms on the night they met, causing her to act in a way that she normally wouldn't... Luke and Jemma met up again at her sister's birthday party and the attraction is still there. Luke uses the fact that Jemma's family need money to get her into his life... I really liked the heroine, Jemma, she was really in love with her first husband and he loved her too. And the love and respect she showed his parents was really quite touching. Luke was likable, but what he did to the silver necklace that was a gift to Jemma from her husband was really mean--I understand why he did it-- but it was still mean. Luke's Grandfather--Theo, was a sweetheart and really quite funny. What I also appreciated about this book was that, although Luke and Jemma had a one-night-stand, she didn't get pregnant!! The attraction between Luke and Jemma was very intense, and the love scenes simply sizzled. All in all this was a very good book, and at times amusing.
not perfect but very good
