Author: Olivier Lafont
Number of Pages: 121

Genre: Romance
If revenge was a dish best served cold, then French Adonis Guy Leguerec knew exactly what to serve treacherous and desirable Eve Watson. Seven years after Louisiana, where Eve devastated his heart and ruthlessly wiped out his future, Guy finds her in Boston opening her first art showing. Now a wealthy and powerful shipping magnate, Guy lures Eve into his trap of seduction and opulence, intent on one thing only: getting revenge for her crimes.
When American artist Eve Watson sees the only man she ever loved enter the art gallery, and re-enter her life, she feels helpless terror and frenzied desire. Seven years ago Guy Leguerec had seduced her heart, exploited her body, and then discarded her. Against her better judgment she accepts his invitation, and once again they spiral into a maelstrom of irresistible passion, divinely rampant sex, and the brutal politics of unknown intentions.
Violently sundered by their volatile misconceptions, Eve flees Boston in emotional tatters, and Guy grudgingly lets her vanish, his revenge thwarted. But destiny has planned otherwise: Eve has taken an art job in Paris, ignorant of the fact that the company is one of many subsidiary businesses belonging to Guy. Flung together again in an even more precarious position, Eve and Guy must war with each other and themselves, and confront seven years of misapprehension and malign manipulation. Greed, family vendetta, and deception have eaten away at the intimacy they once shared — But is the truth enough to save their desperate, shipwrecked love?
The story is about two estranged lovers Guy and Eve who are hostile because of a huge misunderstanding. They meet after seven years on the day of the opening of Eve’s first art show and this fast paced, thrilling story develops. All her nineteen paintings are bought single-handedly by someone anonymous. Who bought her paintings? Why did Guy come after seven years in search of her? Does he want to seek revenge by seducing and ruining her? Or does love still exist in their hearts? And is it enough to bring together these frenzied souls who are obsessed with each other?

Oh yes, this was a lovely read. Misleading cover though, and I kind of wanted more emotional depth to the ending. But, would certainly recommend to all romance lovers.

I’ve read the author’s first book and liked it. This is a different genre though. Don’t know how it’d be. 🙂 Nice review.
