Open to any chapter: he wants her, but feels too noble to give in to his desires. She wants him, but is insecure about her place in his life. Move to the next chapter: she wants him, but comes from a bad background and feels unworthy. He wants her, but doesn't want to hurt her. Move to the next chapter: he wants her and now he thinks he loves her. She wants him and thinks she loves him.The whole book could have been condensed to twenty pages, if all the repetition had been removed. This is a generic tale of a pregnant, discarded young woman (who looks astonishingly like Elizabeth Taylor - violet eyes, double-rowed lashes, black hair and all) and the rich, handsome man whose younger brother was the cad who abandoned her. Older brother makes a marriage of convenience with the gorgeous girl.Next up: a la "Pretty Woman", there's plenty of shopping for an expensive wardrobe, new hairstyle and makeup. Since the conflict of frustrated desire isn't enough to hold a reader (not this one, at any rate) there is an unrealistically vindictive mother-in-law, an unrealistically low-life father, a cold-blooded wanna-be-fiancée, and the cad himself.But the whole book is really one repetitious scene after another. He wants her, she wants him. She wants him, he wants her. And, rather than develop understanding between the two main characters, the author tosses in a convenient psychic who explains absolutely everything to the heroine - past, present and future. No need to trouble your brain with this book. Just read it and forget it.
