just the right dose of toxicity I needed! this was so bad it was good and thats exactly why i read these.
Very cool novel ! I really enjoyed how Leonie drove crazy the bossy,prosecuting attorney,and how finally she proved that all those bad rumours about her were lies ! Μy favourite thing in this novel is when Giles admits that all his ''hate'' about Leonie originated from his strong attraction to her.
. . In my opinion this novel is a good ''manual'' to get inspiration on how to deal with bossy,misogynistic and disrespectful men/playboys who think that they can play on young ladies there are many such men almostyears later haha

She'd barely survived the terrible scandal

Leonie knew the nightmare was behind her now, yet she couldn't help feeling bitter.
Four years earlier her name had been splashed across the country on a charge of blackmaila crime she'd been completely innocent of.


But Giles Noble, the powerful prosecuting attorney, hadn't been convinced, Leonie still burned at the memory, How she longed to set the record straight!

Her chance came when fate threw Giles and her together for a weekenda weekend that brought changes to last a lifetime! Old school HP.
It is what it is, Roll up for the name calling, shaking and slapping,
"My God!"Phil gasped, "You can't marry him, Leonie, The man's insane!" The h's stepbrother there, speaking for us all, Possessive nutjob barrister H who once prosecuted the h for alleged blackmail, Absolutely batshit sexual attraction and quite the age gap, I mean, it floats any number of boats but please don't anyone take it as a template for actual IRL love.

At one point she muses on what a wonderful father he'll make, right around the time he calls her 'a wanton little bitch' and just before he threatens that she'll be "beaten within an inch of her life".
Ah yes. The kind of father any child will remember with joy, By all means fill your life with fecked up psychodrama but please, please don't drag innocent kids into this dynamic.

And when he kisses her more gently: 'Moments like this made marrying Giles worth any amount of insults and suffering.
' Girl, no. It really, really, REALLY won't,
There's all the usual grovelling at the end so that's alright then, Until the next time ofc,
Anyway. Go along for the ride, Enjoy the minutes of vicarious passion and breathe a huge

sigh of relief that you can walk away from a lifetime of tiptoeing on eggshells.

Here endeth the lesson on what not to take away from HP fantasyland, Wow, this h is supposed to be sweet and innocent, but she is really wicked, She lies to the H to get,pounds from him. She lies to the H again and again, She kept hiding things from him,

He was cruel, but at least he was honest, She was cruel and dishonest,

He is passionate and he doesnt hide his feelings for her, I love a besotted H, sostars,.ANGSTSTARS, ROMANCESTAR, LAUGHS FOR OTT

Leonie had gone against the barrister J.
G. Noble four years ago in a blackmail case, He was convinced that she was a lying, scheming manipulativeyear old hoping to gain money from blackmailing one of his good friends.
Of course she was released and her step brother, Phil, the true culprit was jailed for four years.
Leonie has since moved on w/ her life, but she carries around a lot of hate and dislike for that barrister.
He ruined her life and embarrassed her when she had simply been taken in by a shark! Leonie never dreamed that she would come in contact w/ the sleazy attorney ever again.
. . but she does!

John Giles Noble was convinced that his friend told the unvarnished truth about Leonie all those years ago and he truly believed that justice had not been carried out then.
He felt she should have got life! Now he finds her staying w/ his elderly aunt as the illustrator for her books.
Giles wants Leonie and he sits out to get her at any cost, He knows all about her and her crazy bedroom antics all via his good friend, He means to have her at any cost,

Loved the setup, loved the by play, I even enjoyed the first kiss to me it showed her loathing of Giles in that instant.
Of course it was later played out differently as she remembers it, she asked if he believed what OM told him about her and he says he didnt think he ever did.
Oh but since she responded to his kisses, . . then sorry the first time wasnt a response, She constantly fought him and then she finally set her price to what she thought he wouldnt meet.
. . marriage!

He is mean to her, insults her, calls her names, never believes her, he actually threatened to break her wrist “I can break this as easily as you broke that china figurine.
”, twists her arm behind her back, tells her he will hit her and actually does later! She even feels that he would hit her nice so she knew deep down that he is an abusive man.


Giles isnt a very good attorney he believed his friend over her even when he is around her for a while he still believed the sleaze oh well sleaze must stick w/ slime! Giles also claims that he can admit when he is wrong he just isnt wrong about her.


The way she loved this guy or realizes she loves him OTT the way the OM blackmails her.
Seriously what happened to all of her hate Oh yeah she suddenly love this sadist or is it masochist/wasnt buying the OMs blackmail but of course she gives in because she loves the beater! This guy truly loves her as well! Is there anyone who doesnt I half expected her step brother to do some duplicitous activities against her as well.

Leonie does exactly what he tells her to do, but then he changes his mind, She actually grew a neuron or two when she did, but then I think they rolled out of her head shortly after.
I couldnt believe how quickly Phil tossed her under the bus either, Oh I guess he suddenly couldnt trust her just like Giles couldnt so, . . heave ho! Giles had loved her all along I couldnt tell maybe you can, He says that everyone is entitled to one mistake but NOT her, Those that he loves dont get to make any mistakes!

Way OTT soap opera! Angst galore but I not sure I believe in romance.
The ending was a big clincher too! Poor baby! NO WAY!! This abuser never showed that type of emotion before and Im guessing he still didnt trust her until he discovered that little thing!!
