Bride in a Glided Cage by Abby Green.

Oh my goodness. Where do I start? The ending?

I just can't believe I almost forgot how overwhelming Abby Green's endings are. I think I shed more tears than the heroine.

Basically, I find the beginning of the story, cold. Not exactly my favourite theme (cold, unfeeling, arranged marriage), but I just know it will pick up somewhere.

Then bam. The part where Rafael and Isobel were labelled as bleeding hearts? It's like Christmas.

I thought it's the part where the story thawed. ♥

The part where Isobel did a hundred and eighty degree change and tried to be the trophy wife that Rafael had wanted at the beginning? And the acrylic nails thingy? That's it.

The milonga? It.

Then the ending? The I-love-yous and all that? Damn. ♥

I love Abby Green. She just writes the most satisfying endings ever.

The hero in this blog title is from Ruthless Greek Boss, Secretary Mistress by Abby Green.

Page 98: I do need you.
^ He thought that out. And I'm like whoa!

Page 122: 'I'm going insane for you, Lucy.'
^ WHOA!

Page 134: 'Where I go, you go.'
^ You don't have to ask. (Ok he's not asking, he's just stating it, and it's SEXY!)

Page 181: '... when I found myself driving to your flat and sitting outside like a stalker...'
^ I actually do like a bit of stalker-ish characteristic in my romance heroes.

I love this book.

ABBY GREEN - The Spaniard's Marriage Bargain.

• I ♥ Abby Green.

• I finished reading The Spaniard's Marriage Bargain, and *sigh*. I so love the making up at the end. The conversations. The hero's/heroine's apology/grovelling speech just awes me. It' so elaborate. You know, like it completely explains everything, why they felt this way, why this, why that, when, how, blah... wow. It's not just "I'm sorry, pls forgive me, I love you, marry me." It's oh-so-much MORE. The character just completely opens up. Wow really. Really wow. Makes me feel very satisfied. Very.
  

• I want her next book please.

Bought for the Frenchman's Pleasure.

When I was reading the first page of Bought for the Frenchman's Pleasure, all I can think about it that I couldn't WAIT to get to the end. Sorry for the repetition, but I really love Abby Green's endings, and everything that leads to it. ♥

*Spoilers* What's so great about this ending? The running! Love it when Sorcha runs after Romain who is driving away after she sort of rejected him. Not only that, I love the revelation later Romain had meant to go back and make Sorcha see that she love him. Hee! Love it. *End Spoilers*

And thus, *repetition warning* I really want to read another Abby Green book. I hope she writes fast. Really fast.

Just read Ruthless Bedded, Forcibly Wedded.

Gawd I love Abby Green's ending speeches. Or grovelling speeches, making-up speeches whatever you call them. They're so looong, never draggy, and just so damn satisfying. The stories just ties up very, very well at the end. For me. It didn't make me frustrated that I needed more from the characters, the stories.

Eh, I do need more, another book like this please. ☺

Oh see above photo? Envy me.

* Some sort of spoilers *

You know when it comes to reading romance, I never really liked it when the heroes think to love is to let go. I'm like, oh com'on go chase after the girl already, stop trying to be a saint or what, the girl loves it if you chase her. But in Abby Green's books, like this Ruthless Bedded, Forcibly Wedded, which I just finished, it just feels so right to let the heroine go and have her come back to him. The little short scene when Cara finds Vincenzo in his room? Wow. Bloodshot eyes? I wish all heroes have that.

* End some sort of spoilers *

Gawd I love everything about this book, every moment is so emotional. Right from page one. That's why when I start I couldn't put it down, and even after I finish, it will be stuck in my mind.

Love it.



I have another autographed book by Abby Green, and I'll only reveal it the next time I read it heheh.
