This series, at least books 2 & 3, have some, shall we say, imaginative plot twists regarding the laws binding the royal family. I'm waiting for a sequel where the coronation cannot take place until the new king publicly sits in a corner, puts his feet in his mouth, and wiggles his toes for a month.
Having witnessed this sexual discrimination in the workplace, both in the military and civilian worlds, and knowing what crap just about every female member of my family has put up with finding and keeping a job, I sometimes wonder why my mother didn't drown me at birth!! And this crap is so hard-wired into male brains (luckily not all of them) and society that these idiots think they're on the moral high ground. Give me a break!!
fr, like even the women that tried to use him were also used by him for sexual gratification, he just doesn't like to be the one who's being used. women have histroucally needed to "use" and rely on men and their fortune and power bc they were unabled to survive by themselves, but many men think they're on the moral high ground when they denounce the golddiggers and power hungry women, as if it wasn't a necessity for their survival to be like that. while men could obtain their own money and power, women haven't been able to do the same for very long and many still aren't able to do so, and yet they refuse to accept that reality.
She should immediately start taking care of him when she came to the hospital. OH NO!!! How did all that habanero sauce get into his enema???
I enjoyed reading this one, but couldn't keep from being amused by his hair style. It looked like it was done with an egg beater. For the Lord's sake, Alejandro, get a hair brush!
1. He planned on having sex with her, for the sole purpose, supposedly, of "getting over her."
2. He used her affection for his daughter on two occasions. First, when she turned him down for dinner, and secondly, when she didn't want to go on vacation with him.
Both of these actions are not something that anyone even pretending to the title of Gentleman would do. They are both scummy, manipulative, and display an entire lack of the quality called empathy. Bottom Line: He was a douche bag.
i hate that his apologies was part blaming her. He he blamed her for being young am mature thats why he said those things, and he did it to protect her.... guilt tripping much...
I have also come to the conclusion that the ML is a complete phony. According to page 7, he is ”The richest entrepreneur in all of Spain” and “The king of Spain’s venture capital.” This from a man who lives in New York, has a villa in the French West Indies, and bears a name as Irish as Paddy’s pig. He might as well be named Nguyen von Schlichten and claim to be an Inuit chieftain.
Hahahahaha what is he a con artist?!
Not only the #$%^* sparkles and flowers, but the "sexy" males from this artist look like they are part of an entirely different species from the rest of the humans in the manga. They also have 4 1/2 foot legs in a six foot body, enormous feet shaped like coffins, a 16 inch waist, and at least a yard from shoulder to shoulder. If this artist illustrated Othello or The Divine Comedy, there is no way I could take the writing seriously, as I my eyes would be bugging out over the ludicrous illustrations (although I'd probably buy a copy for s*&ts and grins).
I really preferred the Ryder McCall from Reijou To Playboy. He was something of an ignorant cowboy, but he was fun and funny. This "great" doctor was a rude and arrogant jerk. Someone is offering foreign scholarships to promising interns, and he shuts her down without even giving the intern a chance to speak. He refuses to allow any of the interns in "HIS" hospital to take the scholarship, and denigrates her country. At least he didn't call it a "s#*thole" like a recent politician referred to Africa. And this super confident, "I Know Everything" doctor for the ages can't even manage to get childcare. He also acts like a petty child about being chosen for director. He may have had med school grades like Albert Schweitzer, but he's something of a man-baby with a lousy attitude.
Betty always writes pretty wholesome stories, and her MLs are never toxic scumbags or promiscuous horndogs. My Mom was addicted to her stories, so I read a number of them, and I noticed that a high percentage of her rich, high-powered doctor MLs are dumber than s&*t. This twit is definitely one of that high percentage. He also has all the observational powers of an amoeba that was the runt of the litter. He understands about as much about his adopted son as most gas station attendants do about advanced astrophysics. If the evil dog beater wasn't so obvious and nearly as stupid as he is, she would have rolled him up; horse, foot, and guns!
Boo hoo hoo, nobody loved me growing up. That's why I had to screw everything in a skirt. Women are to be used since Mommy and Grandma left me alone. Give me a break!!! I've known stellar people who had crappy upbringings and parents. And why is it only men who are allowed to be douche nozzles when they have crappy upbringings? In the story, "Illicit Night with the Greek," the girl was kicked to the curb by her parents when she was a child, and treated like a pariah by her new family when she was only 15 frickin' years old, for God's sake. And about half the commenters on the forum felt it was her own fault. Talk about @#$%*^ double standards!!! I have to say that I'm disappointed in Marion Lennox, as well as some of the readers!
Police: Alright, what happened here?
ML: My fiancee tried to go back to England, so I broke both her legs.
FL: But, but... I'm not his fiancee.
Police: Shut up woman. This is HarlequinWorld. Know your place!
Did you just accidentally described Killing Stalking? X'D
