His marriage of inconvenience…
Camilla Winthrop is about to do something she's never done in her life—she's about to ask a man to marry her. Not just any man. She hasn't seen Sam Flanagan in almost five years, after he coldly walked away from a passionate and intense two-week affair. Now Camilla is widowed and desperate…and marrying Sam is the only way she can protect their son. The son he never knew about.
A hugely successful attorney in Miami, Sam certainly never expected to see the stunning Camilla come through his door again. Nor can he ignore the desire heating his blood. But after she tells him her situation, Sam is furious. He'll marry her, but under his terms. And he'll take everything, including Camilla in his bed…unless she can find a way to thaw the millionaire's icy heart once more.
The Millionaire’s Unexpected Proposal is a romance about second chances. It starts off with the two lead characters meeting in a bar and hook up. They have a whirlwind romance and go separate ways. Fast forward five years, the woman shows up with his love child. She is in desperate need to be married to protect the child. Instead of rooting for Camilla, I found myself not liking her. I get that she had her reasons for what she did but I cannot find that connection with the character. Camilla does seem like a bad person but she just wasn’t well written.
Sam is a brooding character. He is immediately upset with Camilla when he finds out the truth. He also is a character that you cannot connect with. He spends most of the book pissed off. The only person he is willing to listen to is Camilla’s sister.
The writing is not extraordinary and in fact the book was predictable and kind of cliché. There is no emotion that pops off the page making you feel what the characters feel. In the end I felt disappointed and empty. It is a good read for those moments when you need a guaranteed HEA. Otherwise, I don’t see this on my repeat read list.
3 out of 5 Stars!
