1st Story: This story suffered from being too short, we jump from being on a ship, to being somewhere else very quickly. April comes off as a little cold, and spoiled. Kind of the stereotypical American. We barely get to know the characters so we cant really care about them. If it was longer we could see some interactions between April and Grigor (the heros son), and understand why it is that the child likes April. Apparently she is the only one the child has liked besides the old nanny.April only seemed to have the hots for Nicholas, and wanted to be his kept woman. I get that its the point of the book, but couldnt she be a bit more likeable? Ive read books on kept women, and they at least have some personality. Nicholas said he is used to paying for high class whores, and is excited that he can train his own.... Yep, thats what he said. What woman wouldnt melt in excitement at being called a whore?One second they have sex, the next second he is losing his cool when April is in danger and swears he will not lose her... what??? When did he start caring for her? All he did was seduce her, and thats it. They have spoken a few times, but i fail to see when they started seeing each other as more than a bed partner, and a benefactor. Maybe if the characters had been fleshed out, we could have grown to love them. But at the end i didnt really care. There are some short stories that authors are able to make you love the characters, but this one failed at that.2nd Story:This one the heroine is also a bit spoiled and loves spending money and living the high life. But i cant really blame them, who hasnt dreamed of marrying a rich man? But i feel like they made it seem like that was the ONLY reason they found the men so interesting for being powerful and rich. And in this story the man stipulates that he will only marry her if she gets pregnant.Also, why couldnt she sleep in his room until shes pregnant? He said its to protect his son, but his son is over only Wednesday and every other weekend. plus, how is it different once shes pregnant? why not just marry her right away and let her sleep in the room, it was silly to wait 1 month for her to get pregnant.i know its just a short story, not to be taken seriously. but it was kind of sad to read of such a superficial, conditional love story.P.S: Am i the only one tired of all the grammar errors? im not perfect and make errors. BUT this is a published book, it should be reread until the errors are caught."I going to come" -- "I'm going to cum.""I have son, Jane." -- I have a son, Jane.""He let his hand drop, and took a step toward" ???? lol"He let his hand drop, and took a step toward her."
