4.0 out of 5 stars Just tell him!, July 1, 2000

This review is from: Husband On Trust (Presents Passion) (Passion, 2088) (Mass Market Paperback)

A whirlwind romance and a glorious honeymoon makes the crash of dreams even harder to bear when Lisa Solomos overhears her husband Alex discussing the control of Lisa's family business with her greedy stepbrother. This shock, added to the late night entry of Alex's former mistress into their apartment, destroys Lisa's trust in her husband. The ultimate betrayal comes when Lisa discovers that her Greek husband doesn't believe in love. Divorce is out of the question after Alex threatens to destroy her family if she leaves.

As with many earlier romances, a little communication could solve most of the problems. This doesn't mean HUSBAND ON TRUST is a bad read, because it isn't. Just be prepared for some aggravation.

Except for the nice wrap-up ending, I didn't see anything else worth reading about this book.... The "hero"'s very recent ex-mistress breaking into the newly weds' residence? Come on, let's try making some sense even if this is just a work of fiction!

This review is from: Husband on Trust (Sexy) (Paperback)

I liked Lisa and Alex. They seemed to really care about each other. There were some instances of misunderstanding in this book, as there always is, but they were kind of funny and well drawn. I think that the whole explanation for Lisa not asking Alex about what she overheard was well thought out and explained.

Lisa had overheard Alex and her nasty step brother plotting, so of course she thinks the worst. She even comes up with plausible explanations for her thoughts. I liked that she even explained why she couldn't ask him right off. She needed to see where things were going and how they would play out but at least she was aware of the situation. It didn't look good for Alex though. Then of course you have the ex-mistress coming in that night at the apartment. It was funny how Alex turned it around and blamed Lisa for the ex trying to climb in bed with him. He told her if she had been in the bed then the ex wouldn't have tried that. (side not here: the ex invited Lisa to join them in the bed! So I don't think Lisa's presence would have deterred the ex.) She went to get a drink because she couldn't sleep then the ex had come in and she followed her to the bedroom. I think she wanted to see how that went too. After all she was already questioning her trust in Alex, but she couldn't very well tell him that, not yet. Alex laughed at her and told her to forget about the ex trying to get into his bed, blah, blah, blah. He didn't think it was a big deal and she actually didn't think it was either. But then she goes to a hotel to meet a "friend" and Alex had followed her. He goes off! He demands her trust but he sees her with another man and he immediately sees red. I'm sorry but it was certainly funny . . . pot meet kettle!! He tosses her out after some nice things that he spouts off, files for divorce, and tells her he never wants to set eyes on her again. Granted she should have told him about the friend and in a way it was a betrayal but the fact that he jumped to all the wrong conclusions after giving her a hard time with the ex climbing into his bed. . . . Of course they meet up again before the divorce is final and he lays it all on the line for her. I really, really liked the way that he did NOT blame his parents and make excuses for his non-belief in love because of them, nope, instead he believes that since he had reached the age of thirty-five and hadn't experienced the emotion he was convinced it didn't exist.
