This is the second book in Lynne Graham’s Virgin Brides, Arrogant Husbands and I loved it. The follow-up to Ophelia and Lysander’s book 1, this is the story of Nikolai Arlov, a gorgeous, womanizer Russian billionaire, with a connection to Ophelia (though we only discover this near the end of the story!!!) who is determined to get Abbey in his bed , after setting eyes on her at a fashion show. He cannot believe that she wants nothing to do with him and this makes him more determined than ever to seduce her. He blatantly pursues her and wow he is beyond persistent….the word no just does not exist in his world! Abbey, whose husband died on their wedding day, wants nothing to do with any other man and never with a playboy like Nikolai. He pursues her relentlessly and when he discovers that she is having financial problems with her family company, offers to help her. Unable to resist the attraction, she eventually falls into bed with him but on her terms. He is surprised that he meets a woman who is not after his money, looks and position and worse…she keeps giving him a hard time!!!!
In the beginning I wasn’t that crazy about Nikolai…he seemed so cold, ruthless and remote…and geez…the 3 gorgeous Russian women who worked for him….there’s a risqué scene where the three offer themselves to him on a flight!!!! Wewwww…hot scene and in a Mills & Boon book!!!!! But as I read more about him I realized that there were so many reasons for the way he saw the world and people.
Some really interesting characters form part in this story which I really really liked - and hey for once a Russian alpha male…not that many stories about them around ….some good dialogue as usual from this author.
There are quite a few twists in the story which link all the three books together and the scenes where he meets Ophelia, a sister he never knew existed was really sweet and emotional…. there is a cliffhanger at the end….to find out more we will just have to read the next book about the missing sister.
