5.0
When blazing blue eyes meet glowing green ones
Sparks are bound to fly
The Whittaker Sisters Duology by [a:Heidi Rice|786456|Heidi Rice|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1314400224p2/786456.jpg] regales you with the tale of Megan and Katherine Whittaker, who meet their respective partners courtesy the very hateful antagonist Mr. Whittaker, their father.
The story of Megan and Dario is there in [b:The Virgin's Shock Baby|34236576|The Virgin's Shock Baby|Heidi Rice|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1498823653s/34236576.jpg|55294691] while Katie and Jared find their own space in [b:Captive At Her Enemy's Command|36477358|Captive At Her Enemy's Command|Heidi Rice|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1520610234s/36477358.jpg|58187280].
Synopsis:
It all starts when Whittaker senior demands that his elder daughter, Megan, seduce wealthy Italian tycoon, Dario De Rossi, in order to prevent the takeover planned by him of Whittaker Enterprises. To call Dario and Mr. Whittaker business rivals would be giving a name to their relationship, where there is none, and never could be. Whittaker makes his daughter attend a special event with Dario, by threatening her younger sister, Katie's well-being. What follows is a night of sensual abandon, the shocking fallout of the Whittaker family and an irreversible consequence!
Review:
This is by far the perfect M&B for me. It has all the ingredients of a flawless story. The meeting of the protagonists, followed by the abuse Megan suffered at the hands of her so-called father, the traumatic episode leading to amnesia, and then the joy of motherhood, followed by the unravelling of Dario's past and their reunion. My heart goes out to the complex characters who all are detailed with such precision. And then comes the writing, there are so many memorable lines throughout the book, that I cannot resist sharing a few here. The sexual tension is off-the-charts. And it is for the readers to see, as to who seduces whom in the end.
For all his alpha male tendencies, Dario comes out as the most caring and understanding person on the planet.
And the above coming from a man who believes,
And then there is quite meaningful humour in spades:
The two-month time lapse nearing the end of the book was a bit disappointing. It feels that those two months are loaded with emotions, which the reader misses out on.
But, the build-up throughout the story leading to Dario's past being revealed is nothing short of a marvel. The shocking place from where Dario comes, finally explains his behaviour throughout the book to a great extent.
The epilogue, the sweet, sweet epilogue sums up the story like nothing else can!

And it is for the readers to see, as to who seduces whom in the end.
For all his alpha male tendencies, Dario comes out as the most caring and understanding person on the planet.
'He might not want this responsibility, but he was not about to shirk it–until he had come up with a coherent plan for Megan's recovery.'
'Something about the way she was looking at him, as if he could harness the moon and the stars for her if she asked him to, made him want to say yes.'
And the above coming from a man who believes,
'You cannot love me,' he said on a broken breath, 'I do not deserve it.'
And then there is quite meaningful humour in spades:
'After getting up at dawn to spend an entire day hauling fish so he could get a stranglehold on his libido, everything south of his belt buckle had lost the plot in less than a second.'
'Stop right there. I’m not going to my own rooms,’ she shouted, and all but threw herself out of his arms—a bit too brave and spirited for his liking.
He swore as he scrambled to gather her back up. ‘Come back here.’
‘No.’ She batted his hands away.
‘You need to sleep. You must do as I tell you.’'
'Throwing back the cover, she sat up.
Mission: Puddle of Lust, here I come.'
The two-month time lapse nearing the end of the book was a bit disappointing. It feels that those two months are loaded with emotions, which the reader misses out on.
But, the build-up throughout the story leading to Dario's past being revealed is nothing short of a marvel. The shocking place from where Dario comes, finally explains his behaviour throughout the book to a great extent.
