Summary: Enjoyable reading
Review: This is a fun and heart-warming book and only takes a day to read.
The hero is as lovable as is the heroine. The man rescues a woman who seriously injures herself on coral at a tropical island beach. They have a one-nighter and leave the island separately thinking they would never see each other. A few months later they meet again. She is an award-winning actress doing a period film in England. He is a titled gentleman who has leased part of his large inherited period-style mansion to the heroine's movie company. She is pregnant by the hero but only a few people can know or it could end the making of the movie. Thus, she can't tell the hero. She does love the hero and is in a tough spot. She is a sweet and loving heroine and actually is unspoilt by Hollywood standards. The hero is not some mean, careless, hot-headed, heavy-handed, bag of testosterone. He is a sweet, loving man (and father to a teenaged daughter) who's had it rough in spite of his riches.(He also has an ex-wife who makes an appearance and causes him trouble). He actually shows the heroine that he loves her. All the characters are well developed. The ending has some surprises. For a short book, it is filled with action. Enjoy!
