The Millionaire's Indecent Proposal, October 29, 2007
Franco Constantine has hardened his heart against women. Knowing that
there isn't a woman alive who can't be bought, he makes a wager with
his father. If he can find a woman willing to be his mistress for one
million euros, then his father will turn over the reigns of the family
company to Franco. If he can't, then Franco's father will continue to
be the head of Midas Chocolates and may marry his new young fiancé
without any interference from Franco. Piece of cake, right? Franco
seems to think so and begins his search.
Stacy Reeves grew up constantly watching over her shoulder. The child
of an abusive, wealthy man, it wasn't until she was grown that she
realized the hell her mother went through to keep her safe. Never
able to put down roots, Stacy is working towards the day she can buy
her own home and settle down. Meeting Franco Constantine outside of
one of his family's chocolate stores, she is instantly aroused and
intrigued by him. When he makes her an offer she would be stupid to
refuse, Stacy has no idea that in reaching for the financial security
she craves, she has just solidified Franco's assessment of her as a
grasping, money-hungry woman.
The Millionaire's Indecent Proposal made me tear up more than once. I
felt so awful for Stacy and the way she had to grow up and while I
didn't agree with her taking money to be Franco's mistress, I had to
be realistic and admit that even I would have taken money to be
Franco's mistress. No, I can't lie. I would have PAID Franco to be
his mistress. He was just that sexy. His sensuality and magnetic
appeal made him a worthy hero. His inability to trust women came from
past hurts and I can't blame him for doing his best to harden his
resolve so that he was not hurt again. It's a good thing that Stacy's
love was stronger than Franco's stubbornness.
The Millionaire's Indecent Proposal is the first book of a new series
by Emilie Rose called Monte Carlo Affairs. I enjoyed this book so
much that I had to go out and find the second installment. Now I am
on the hunt for the third!
