Editorial Reviews

Product Description

He can't remember why he wed her--but he'll still bed her!

Italian-Swiss banker Roel Sabatino has suffered partial memory loss after a car crash. It seems he has a wife...but he can't remember getting married!

Hilary is pretty, sweet...and ordinary. When Roel tries to take her to bed--as any husband would--he discovers she's a virgin! All this is shocking to Roel, though he still recognizes a great deal when he sees one. So why not enjoy all the pleasures that this marriage has to offer, whatever his reasons were for tying the knot?

5.0 out of 5 stars This one is SO GOOD!, March 30, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Banker's Convenient Wife (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)

I kept getting a tug in my heart while reading it and even cried in places -- the heroine was so heart-tugging. She was crazy about the hero from the first moment she met him and wanted desperately to be his real wife and not just a wife in name only. He felt the same strong attraction for her when they first met but fought it because of her young age (she was 19 at the time), the difference in their background, and his distrust of women and marriage in general. When he had temporary amnesia after a car accident and thought she was a real wife to him, he no longer fought his feelings for her and his passion for her burned red hot! He couldn't keep his hands off her even though he thought she was not his type. The love scenes sizzled! I love Lynne Graham's heroes and heroines and I hope she does not change them due to some complaints from some other readers. Her heroes are always strong-willed mega gorgeous billionaires and her heroines are usually poor and may lack self confidence at the beginning of the book but who gain in self confidence towards the end of the book. Lynne cannot please everyone and if she pleases some she will lose others. Lynne's writing is superb and what makes her books keepers for me is her heroes and heroines as they are so vivid and the dialogue between them are so memorable. The reason I buy every one of her new release as soon as they come out is that I've come to expect a certain type of story, hero, and heroine from Lynne and so far I have not been disappointed by any of her books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great ending to the Brides of L'Amour Series, February 27, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Banker's Convenient Wife (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)

I really enjoyed this story and am a big fan of Lynne Graham. The back cover to the book says: "Italian-Swiss banker Roel Sabatino has suffered partial memory loss after a car crash. It seems he has a wife...but can't remember getting married! When Roel tries to take her to bed-as any husband would-he discovers she's a virgin! All this is shocking to Roel, though he still recognizes a great deal when he sees one. So why not enjoy all the pleasures that this marriage has to offer, whatever his reasons were for tying the knot?"
One of the fun things about this Graham story is the heroine is a little different than her normal ones. This one is a hairdresser with spiky platinum blond hair with pink ends. Of the Brides of L'Amour series I think I liked The Frenchman's Love-Child slightly better but this one is really good.

1.0 out of 5 stars not enough strong women, March 25, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Banker's Convenient Wife (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)

I think Lynne Graham is a great writer, I just wish the heroines in her stories had a little more pride self esteem and confidence. The heroine in this book is just like most of the heroines Lynne Graham writes about. They deem themselves less than important to the men they love. They either have no education, weak or very tolerant to verbal abuse. In this book there is the hint of some physical abuse and verbal threats. I started skipping pages in this book, then finally I just could not take it any longer and stop reading it. Lynne Graham should take a chapter for Jackie Collins and give us a kick ass, strong heroine for once.
