Decent enough read although it was one of those books where I was puzzled about which scenes the author chose to include and which scenes she chose to leave out. After they had their night and btw he doesn't 'take her innocence" which the blurb on the back says since she was a divorcee, he goes home and gets in an accident. He thinks he can't have children so of course he wants the child they had together. But he never really seems to actually do anything to achieve that and when he finally does meet her, he barely spends any time with her or seems to make much over her. There were however, scads of scenes with his mother-in-law from his wife who he married for no apparent reason after the whole first getting together with the heroine. He was a bit of a wimpy ninny. And I must say I was annoyed to no end with how the author chose to randomly include Portuguese words and then immediately have the speaker translate them. Two things here: stop with the immediate translations for stuff we can pretty much figure out anyway. And no one who speaks a foreign language as well as the hero would answer a question in Portuguese that the heroine had posed in English so that he could immediately translate into English. Weird. Here's an example:
Are you on holiday?"
"De ferias?" He sounded amused. And then, seeing her look of incomprehension, he explained,"On holiday? In England--in November? Acho que nao. I do not think so."
Why would he even respond at all in Portuguese? Answer: he wouldn't. ( )
