  Alex is The Romance Fox

  I haven't read the first 2 books in this Trilogy and after finishing the 3rd one, I don't think I will read those.
  
  I just didn't feel for this story. I found the hero, Lucas a total ass@@@@...wanting to buy a woman as his mistress is just so tacky!!!
  
  And the heroine.......has one night of passion with her boss.....she works in one of his hotels as a chambermaid....and finds herself pregnant with his baby!!!
  
  He whisks her off to Brazil, sets her up in one of his luxury hotel penthouses and offers her a non-existing job...she's very serious about working...even going as far as cleaning and washing the floors at his hotel rooms!!!!!
  
  He thinks she's a gold-digger. She thinks he's...actually I am not sure what she thinks of him.....
  
  And the reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1....I liked the end of the book, where the heroine travels to his ranch somewhere in the pampas...oh I thought those only existed in Argentina and that only rainforests in Brazil..well, guess I learnt something....anyway, the scene where she gets on a horse going off into the pampas wildness, armed with a map and bottle of water, riding a mule...just perked up the story a bit for me.
  
  This was one of those books that was a "miss" for me.

  Endless bickering and fighting. Heroine is a real shrew, a bitch. I wish I could slap her silly.

  An interesting passion-filled read.
  
  I liked how our heroine Emma really tries to have nothing to do with handsome Lucas but he is so determined to claim her. She wants to hold her own in the world and doesn't want to beholden to anyone. She a strong woman and even ending up pregnant doesn't change her drive to claim her place in the business world honestly and with her own hard work. Lucas is trying his hardest not to scare her away with his protectiveness and passion that he plays it too cool leaving her to feel unwanted.
  
  A very entertaining read.

  My mom always said if I had nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. I really don't have anything nice to say about this book.
  Emma found out she was pregnant. She constantly had debates with herself on how to tell Lucas, the father of her unborn child, that he was going to be a dad. If she said one more time, (It's not the right time), I would have screamed. the story didn't get any better after he found out. Lucas wanted Emma for a mistress. that is just tacky. The two fought constantly. He wanted to control her, bringing her to Brazil, and giving her a place to live. She wanted to work for everything she had. She did work hard, I will give her that. She was strong when it came to working, but emotionally she was a very weak heroine.

  Not so much a story as a series of highly emotionally charged moments/scenes haphazardly strung together by constantly shifting and conflicting rationales. It started out coherently but very quickly devolved into two characters who would say one thing, think another, and then do something else. None of it made sense and I kept pushing onward trying to find some internal logic even but nope. This was just badly written, which is unfortunate because the premise was not awful, nor were the starting points for the characters.

  Lol... this was actually exactly what I expected. SMH. It was nostalgic because I used to read romance novels (Harlequin in particular) like crazy as a preteen/young teen. But it was also pretty terrible. The book is pretty short so there wasn't much time for character development, and the weird, abrupt about-faces were enough to give me whiplash.

  Awkward, revealing title aside, I was drawn to this book by its cover. It features a flame-haired woman (just as she’s described in the book) having her prominent abdomen touched by the man leaning over her. It’s a strange image, one that combines glamorous sensuality and the prospect of staid domesticity. Was this a modern image of a caring man or an unrealistic depiction of a pregnant woman that is found only in imaginary romantic scenarios?
  
  Disregarding the clumsy title and silly cover, I hoped to find something better inside than promised by the blurb. Alas, no. Lucas Marcelos is your typical contemporary lothario and rich playboy. He and he alone gets to decide what’s best for his unborn child. He doesn’t kidnap or keep his lady love prisoner like male protagonist in
  The Sheikh’s Pregnant Prisoner. But he’s cut from the same cloth: arrogant, ruthless, cocksure and willing to throw around money and power to get what he wants. He feels no compunction in getting her fired from her current job simply because he thinks he’s got a better offer, an action that fills her with outrage. Yet she leaves her job and her country to head off with him anyway.
  
  To be fair to her, Emma Fane doesn’t roll over automatically for him nor play the pampered princess like Lauren Hamby. She stubbornly insists that she be given a proper job, no matter how much he longs to swaddle her in luxury and keep her in the apartment adjoining his. Incredibly, she gets her way. She proves to be competent and hardworking, a worthy match for Lucas. Emma has a backbone and a will of steel. She fully deserves her prince and thus this novel wins a grudging three-star rating.
  
  You can’t judge a book by its cover but you can get mightily confused by it. However, if you can look past the initial perplexity posed by this paperback, you might be gratified by a truly powerful female protagonist.

  I still can't decide if I really liked this story or not. There was confrontation from the beginning to nearly the end. There was no fun or lightheartedness and this made it too serious for me. There was no romance until the very end. It was good when it happened and the story ended nicely, I just think there was too much arguing to truly enjoy this read.

  Not sure why I keep reading these domineering Alpha man romance novels. They always frustrate me. However, a strong woman standing up to one of these men always makes me happy. Susan Stephens has written just such a woman. This is a fun and exciting trek from Europe to Latin America with two sexy and fabulous characters.

  Story was just for me.Girl was too flip flopish on how to tell the Hero she was preggers. And the Hero just did not fascinate me . It is part the of Polo playing guys series. Somehow I have yet to read a book in that series that I would love to re read.

  I enjoyed reading this book. Your typical arrogant alpha male head to head with a strong independent female heroine with a baby in between.
