Amazing love story, May 30, 2009
This review is from: Virgin Mistress, Scandalous Love-Child (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)
Jennie Lucas amazes me and this time her Virgin Mistress, Scandalous Love-Child is no exception. It's steamy, sensual but what makes this particular story amazing is it's also full of mystery, some action and a ton of secrets.
Ellie Jensen is an unusual heroine because while she was a successful Jr. Secretary she was also a high school drop-out. Ellie is in trouble. It's her wedding day but not to the man she loves her boss and she's also pregnant. When she tries to tell her boss Diogo, it becomes a disaster so she leaves her office and heads home to marry a hometown lawyer. Diogo finally figures out he is the gather due to seducing Ellie while on a business trip and so he interrupts the wedding kidnaps Ellie and takes her to his home in South America.
Diogo is one tempered, dangerous and sexy Spaniard. He was the illegitimate son of a wealthy man who refused to acknowledge him and so he was taken in by a family and literally grew up on the streets. He's a self made and extremely determined and proud man. At any cost, he will have his child and he offers Ellie money to have the baby. When Diogo realizes Ellie will have none of it, he takes her away and marries her.
What I admired about Ellie was her courage and determination to give her child the best, a mother and a father and a home unlike what she had as a child. Her strength leaps off the pages because you learn that months before Diogo had taken everything from her; her innocence, her faith and her courage in her dreams. But even though he's a hard man, she loves him and in the end she heals him through her love for him.
As for Diogo, he's a warrior in every sense. He didn't want his children to grow up the way he had and he was determined to protect them and keep them safe. When he sees his child on the ultrasound, it changes everything for him.
Virgin Mistress, Scandalous Love-Child was like Rio and the hero, Diogo.... a seductive, passionate and extremely intense read. When Diogo realizes he could possibly loose Ellie and his child, his fierceness will have you holding your breath. And Ellie's love and determination to have the family she has always dreamed of will melt your heart.

Great Romance, August 24, 2009
This review is from: Virgin Mistress, Scandalous Love-Child (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed this book very much and I read it in two days and I even managed to work in between. Diogo is from Brazil alpha male to the extreme, but of course like all great men in love he is bought to his knees in the end, but what a ride!.

Jennie Gives You Everything, July 30, 2009
This review is from: Virgin Mistress, Scandalous Love-Child (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)
Jennie Lucas is an author to watch and one to read and re-read. Her book VIRGIN MISTRESS, SCANDALOUS LOVE-CHILD, won the prestigious Gold Heart Award from Romance Writers of America. It was subsequently sold to Harlequin Presents.
I read it in one sitting. It's got adventure and love, along with a strong hero and a heroine to equal him.
Pick up this one and watch for her future books. You'll love her.
Shirley
