Genres: Contemporary Romance, Erotic
My Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
After the death of her parents, Robbie Byrne is put in foster care where she meets her exact opposite, Luc Cintrone. Abandoned as a small child, Luc is a foul-mouthed rebel who takes it upon himself to be her defender, whether she likes it or not. As they grow up, they fumble through their different roles in each other's lives—family, confidants and then, ultimately, lovers.
Just as the couple is settling into their newfound relationship, they encounter a beautiful lawyer, Payten, who is immediately taken by Luc's rough edges. But he denies her, making him absolutely irresistible in her eyes. Payten is a woman who has grown accustomed in her privileged life in obtaining whatever she wants, no matter the cost or sacrifice. And she is fairly confident Luc will eventually see things her way…one way or another.
My Thoughts
A Modern Love Story is one of my all time favorite cheating hero book.
I do have a weird genre fetish. I love cheating hero romance and I also enjoyed it when the author includes detailed sex scene with a hero and the other woman/mistress... I know right? weird! Idk.. there's just something sexy about it and only few authors do this in a romance story. So when I found out this book has it, I was over the moon! lol
Okay, it's been a while since I read this- but I remember staying up so late to just finished it. It sucked me in right from the beginning. This was another book that I have a love/hate relationship with. It triggered a lot of emotions in me that after reading it- I felt so drained!
Robbie and Luc's story was amazing. I loved seeing them grow up and discover their feelings for one another. The sexual tension kept me on the edge. Both characters are likeable.
Luc was great until he cheated. lol. As much as I love a cheating hero, I was mad when he did it! My mind was shouting "nooooooo!!!!"
I love a story when another girl comes into the picture.. it makes the story more interesting, but I disliked Payten so much. She's the perfect villain! What a psycho woman and I don't think I've disliked a character as much as I disliked Payten. Ms. Palliata did a wonderful job on creating her and I have to admit that if not for Payten, the book itself would be ordinary.
My only complain is the ending of the book. It has a HEA but something was missing. I guess after all the heartache and angst in the story, I was hoping for more.
Other than that, this is a wonderful book and I give this a 5 stars. If you're looking for a good love story with cheating hero, steamy sex, angst and suspense- I highly recommend this!
