Lost Love

This book shows how human Robyn Brett truly is, she fell in love at the tender age of 16 with Clay Lincoln an adult of 23 and like most 16 yr-olders she is crushed when he doesn't return her love... This colors the rest of her life with the male gender. I don't understand why the other reviewers didn't find this to be typical of a 16 yr-olders, who thinks she is an adult, all 16 yr-olders think they are adults. Notice I said think they are adults, we as adults know better, except when we were 16. I was raped at 16 and had a child by that rape at the age of 17, that was over 40 yrs ago, and a few things have changed. 1.if a girl is in a mans house that doesn't give him the right to rape her; 2. a man over 21 who rapes a 16 yr-old is put on a list as a pedophile. And yes this has colored my whole life. So our girl is so in love she can't see straight, and even though Clay is attracted to her he is engaged to be married. He goes back to the U S and tries to break off his engagement, but the woman he was engaged to was a nut case, she pretended she was going to kill herself if he didn't marry her. And it didn't take long for him to find he was in way over his head. This caused him to become distrustful, until he got word from Cass Robyn's older sister that Robin needed a silent partner, I guess it's called a sleeping partner in the U K. Robyn is running a successful business but she needs to expand to keep up with other PR firms. The bank won't help, but Clay does. This opens the door for Clay to be in Robyn's life, what he doesn't realize is the man who hurt her, is him. From the back of the book: 'It wasn't strictly business...Powerful tycoon Clay Lincoln was the only man who could save Robyn's PR company. The deal was simple: he'd finance her, but remain a silent partner, Robyn wouldn't actually need to work with him... Robyn was still embarrassed over a passionate kiss they'd once shared--after which Clay had just walked away. Now he was clearly impressed by the striking, professional woman she'd become...and wanted to be her sleeping partner in more than just a business sense!'
