4.0 out of 5 stars
The Latin Lover's secret child,
This review is from: The Rodrigues Pregnancy (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)
Olivia found the comfort and passion she craved in the arms of South American tycoon Christian Rodrigues. She found something else that she'd always longed for, as well - after one night of reckless passion, Olivia discovered she was expecting Christian's child!But Olivia had good reasons for keeping news of her pregnancy from the world, and from Christian. However, she hadn't reckoned on his determination to find her and continue their relationship. Perhaps Olivia could still keep their baby secret, but only if she denied that she still ached for Christian's touch... Olivia was married to Tony Mora for fifteen years. The main reason why she stayed/was kept in the marriage for so long to a man - Tony - who was indifferent to her feelings and cheated on her on a constant basis was because she looked after Tony's son, Luis. Just when Luis goes off to college, Tony dies of a heart attack in the arms of his latest mistress. Christian comes to convey the news to Olivia and they end up in bed. Voila, and she's pregnant. Christian, is Tony's appointed heir until Luis can take over the business, he is also Tony's cousin of some sort - Christian's father was a cousin of Tony's. He thinks Olivia hates him because of his sudden appearance into the scene; he started working for Tony only 8 years ago. Olivia thinks Christian hates him because she supposedly married him for money. Christian is 6 years younger than Olivia; she is 37. This is not uncommon in Anne Mather books; older woman , wounger man. I have no problem with that. The age gap provides for more tension because Olivia is insecure about her looks and desirability ever since she found Tony never held lasting affection for her. The only reasons why I didn't give this book 5 stars were because (1) Luis is such a baby. He's 18 years old, a college student, and sulks to his stepmother. Very self-centered. I don't exactly have much confidence for Olivia's parent skills... (2) Because the book needs more of a bridging phase where the couple realize their deeper feelings. For 8 years they hated each other, blatent hostility and everything and one one-night-stand, a pregnancy and they discover they can't live without each other ? Otherwise, the books is intense and very well written. Anne Mather is great!
