Not Graham's best, December 22, 2004
This review is from: The Mistress Wife: Foreign Affairs (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)
The Mistress Wife's blurb on the back of the book says "Can she be...mistress to her husband? Convinced that Lucca, her billionaire Italian husband, had been having an affair, Vivien Saracino left him-even though she was pregnant. Now Vivien has discovered that Lucca might not be guilty. She's determined to win him back, if only for the sake of their small child. But Lucca is in no mood for a tender reconciliation. He will have his wife again, but on his terms...as his mistress!" I enjoy Lynne Graham's books very much but this one was depressing and not her best. I recommend any of her other books because she is normally great and look forward to her new book in Feb.

Lucca is not a "hero", March 28, 2007
This review is from: The Mistress Wife: Foreign Affairs (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)
I have many of Lynne's books in my "keeper box." Unfortunately this one didn't make it there. Even though Lucca was married he acted as a bachelor -- left her at home while he partied, etc.... She is led to believe that he was unfaithful -- not so far-fetched based on his life-style and leaves.
While they are separated he has adulterous relationships. She of course remains chaste and is bringing up their child. As soon as she finds out he was innocent she goes to him to apologize -- his reaction -- he'll still divorce her but wants her as his mistress.
What an arrogant @$%&*@! It was no wonder it was easy for her to believe the worst. Yet instead of trying to make their marriage work, because of his huge ego, since she left him, he no longer wants her as his wife.
In this case, I would have preferred if Vivian found someone else for her HEA. He was always thinking of himself and not of his wife or his child.
There are many other HPs written by Lynne that great -- you can save some money by avoiding this one.

Real drama ... but bad argument..., October 9, 2005
This review is from: The Mistress Wife: Foreign Affairs (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)
I really like Graham books, but in this case what I didnt like about the book was that she didnt have any strenght at all...She realize that her husband wasnt guilty of adultery as she thought, and try to reconcile with him, meanwhile he wants to make her pay for leaving him when she thought him guilty.
In the end he did sleep with another women still married to his wife. And her character just broke my heart, if there any woman so pathetic as her.. my condolence..
Even though I like the end, I would rather have him suffer more for what he made her go through...
