Hmmm...this story was okay. The h(Elaina)is young, naive, recently new to town and living with her aunt and uncle. She is just finishing her first semester and overwhelmed. Her mother just recently died from breast cancer a few months ago and she dedicated her life in taking of her mother until she passed.And who does she meet on her first night at her aunt's house? Why none other than her uncle's good friend, Raul Vega. Did I forget to mention he's a macho man, an alpha-hole and extremely possessive. And condescending, his favorite term to call the heroine, "little girl".The heroine felt nervous to tell the Hero her true age and lets him think she's a teen. She must have felt some trepidation to keep up this lie. But don't worry, the Hero is a master albeit, stilted seducer. He manipulates the heroine into giving into him.It was slightly Diana Palmer-esque except much more erotic.Do I believe the love story? Eh, not really. I think the girl was vulnerable at the tie and he used it for his advantage. But it was not a horrible story. And the price was fitting.
