  Yet another POS for an H Frankly by the end of this one I was hoping he would die Very emo angst story but useless abusive jerks really don't do it for me any How I miss the old days when at least the alphahole H made a pretense at actually loving the h or maybe the writers were just better at making them believable I did not believe in the reconciliation I did not believe the H was sincere and I really wanted him to fall off a cliff leaving the h with a baby and a chance at a decent life and a loving relationship with a guy who wasn't a solid slime sucking amoebic worm casting uick summary of plot h and H have an accident with pregger h which H believes was his fault Baby is stillborn h is shattered and H becomes obsessed with IVF and conceiving another child h finally has enough of his cold srsly stupid heir obsession tells him she doesn't love him and leaves H proceeds to manho and skydive his way around for the next two years until a near death miss leaves him sterile H decides to get h to agree to implanting last IVF embryo and h being sad and knows it is last chance for baby agrees The H then proceeds to be a using mistress flaunting controlling abusive jerk to the h and I had to srsly wonder irregardless of the random H thoughts the author threw in what the hell was there to even like in the guy let alone love This man was worthless as a human being and for all the attempts to show his thoughts and demonstrate his inner pain his actions were just plain wrong and the dichotomy between how he actually WAS to the h as opposed to what he supposedly was thinking gave me a violent distaste for his whole character This plot had a ton of potential but the continuous repetition of guilt asshat behavior wash rinse repeat and then do it AGAIN had me irritated and the failure to reconcile the inward and outward actions of the H to the h made this book a new contender on my all time most hated HP's

  What an amazing debut book by Andie Brock An emotional roller coaster of emotion of hurt and misunderstanding that had Lottie leave her shattered marriage Loss of a child will either make the marriage stronger or pull it apart Too many misunderstandings unspoken words and words that should never been spoken had left them both bitter and hurt After an accident Rafael life was shaken and a wake up call how fragile life was He wanted and needed an heir to continue the line of Monterrato and only one person who could do that with was his estranged wife She arrived thinking he wanted a divorce not have his child He was cold and indifferent Lottie was holding onto her fragile strength she had found Built herself a new life after their marriage fell apart two years ago Everyone is affected differently from a trauma like losing a baby They both reacted in different ways both suffered in silence instead of reaching out This one pulled at my heartstrings Communication is so important in a marriage in any relationship to make it work Even though they resented each other hurt each other by hitting out their attraction what had first pulled together was still there Just some things can't be changed some things that can't be fought like a love that was meant to be It is a story also about letting go of the pain the guilt the anger the bitterness and words do hurt that can be painful then any knife to the heart Loved this to pieces Well done Andie

  I have personally always been a major fan of daredevils the pure thrill and excitement of these badboys is addictive So of course I was thrilled when I learned that this read had such a hero and my oh my what a hero he wasThe read introduces us to Rafael Revaldi he has always lived for the moment then his whole life changes when he cheats death This leads him to know exactly what he wants and that is an heir But to make it happen he has to focus all his attention on winning back the heart of his estranged wife LottieLottie returns to the castle she once called home but with her she brings a newfound strength she's not the same woman she use to be and she 'll be darned if she goes down without a fight again if only she can carry her strength to full The intense sensual connection between her and Rafe is still there and it's hotter then ever but the emotional scars from their marriage still lingers Can she stand her ground and walk away from heartache and pain or will she once again lose her heart when if she fails to give them both the child they both so desperately want?I adored this read to pieces the raw emotional hurt from the characters had me in tears for the best part of the book which of course is always a definite sign that an author knows what she or he is doing The characters of Rafe and Lottie both pulled my hearstrings to the point where I honestly wished I could climb inside the book and just fix it all the author let the hurt anger and pain play out perfectly it was truly as if I was right there watching the characters tear each other to piecesThrough both characters the author showed that we all react differently when life fails us some of us lash out others simply go into a little cocoon of self defense But at the end of the day which ever action we take hurts our changes of being able to really get back up again stand our ground and let the world know we are stronger then what ever life trows at usThe cold hearted method taken by Rafe to inform Lottie of his decision was one written so well it sent chills down my spine and of course I thought What a bastard and then I wondered what really lurks behind the cold man of steel? And let me tell you when the author began digging into the past of these characters and the cold hearted methods they both take I was an absolute mess I bawled like a baby I shouted in outrage and I yelled with frustration so many various emotions ran through me and without a doubt this author got to my heart and soulI am taking away a message of life can knock us down so badly it feels as if there is simply no way back up again But the trick is to find the right balance to get back up again you can pretend all is fine and make everyone believe you 're having a high old time but when you are alone the darkness overcomes you There is a thin line between getting back up to the point where you are able to move on without regrets and accept life for what it is and getting back up but still leaving a part of you on the ground begging for help Never give up always fight and most importantly communicate and tell the truth to those that matter if you don't there simply is really no way you will ever fully get back up again and be able to face lifeI highly recommend this read for all fans of romance reads with amazing twists and turns pure raw emotional heartache stunning passion and a wonderful message of love conuering all A brilliant debut Andie 55 star review Death tore them apart can a new life will bring them together?

  THE LAST HEIR OF MONTERRATO by author Andie Brock is a Harleuin Presents release for January 2015Charlotte had walked away from her marriage and husband the Conte di Monterrato when his coldness towards her became too much But he needs an heir now and he has no one else to ask but his estranged wife LottieWould she come back?

THE LAST HEIR OF MONTERRATO is an emotional roller coaster of a story Reading this book brought me to tears many times This story is about moving from past hurts and sacrifices Author Andie Brock did a fabulous job with Lottie and Rafael’s characters Readers would cry with Lottie yet would find it in their hearts to forgive Rafael as wellHighly recommended for all readers of romance

  The Last Heir of Monterrato is about Can This Marriage Be Saved As a romance reader I can be convinced that almost every marriage can be saved but the writer failed to convince me it was possible with this marriage While this was a very well written emotionally engaging story the romance failed to measure up mainly because the hero stubbornly held up barriers threw most of the book The last chapter is where he suddenly confesses his love after pushing the heroine away and punishing her most of the book Very frustratingSee after the heroine lost her baby the hero emotionally abandoned her Once she is back in his life the hero never admits his part in the marriage breakup The hero was clueless for way too longThis author deals with serious issues well but failed in re making the romance

  This story is an emotional roller coaster journey to a HEA Rafe the Conte di Monterrato and Lottie fell in love pretty much at first sight their love for each other is passionate and when Lottie falls pregnant they marry and they look forward to being parents but when an accident causes a premature birth and the loss of their child their marriage falls apart and badly but two years later when Rafe is injured in an accident and summons Lottie back to the Palazzo to discuss having another child to carry on the Monterrato line their relationship is put to the test I really enjoyed this debut story about a tortured couple that have been through so much it does not help that Rafe is so stubborn and alpha and Lottie is caring but strong the tension throughout is full on and it will keep you turning the pages I loved the epilogue

  How much did I love this? Very very very much Summonsed to her ex husband's Palazzo Lottie is expecting divorce papers to be slapped down in front of her instead she's completely stunned sideways when Rafael suggests they use their last embryo from their IVF trials two years ago A nasty skydiving accident has left Rafael likely to be unable to father any children in the future He really does want a family and knowing that Lottie cant conceive naturally any he hopes she'll agree they are each others last hope What neither of them realise is this seeming clinical transaction is going to reopen old wounds and awaken feelings that have been hidden and buried and pushed away Feelings for each other and feelings for the loss they suffered together years agoI'm a total sucker for reunion stories and with this one Andie Brock gets five stars from me 6 stars even for many reasons Firstly I felt the whole spectrum of emotions when I read The Last Heir of Monterrato I laughed and laughed at Lottie and Rafael's witty exchanges I cried on the inside as their loss was described throughout the story I was gripped by suspense with my heart beating double time at each page turn when Lottie and Rafael had their out with it all moments I felt Lottie's pain at Rafael's rejection when she lays her heart on the line I felt Rafael's pain at his memories of what happened I seriously didn't want to reach the last page As I read this the outside the weather was thundering and pouring with rain but I was totally swept away with Lottie and Rafael's storySecondly If I did not know this was a debut novel I would never have guessed The story flowed perfectly I was totally by their side along for every bumpy second of the incredible ride I appreciated the witty humour When I say witty humor I don't mean chick lit witty I mean just the little touches that were added examples to come I thought Rafael was the perfect alpha He was perfect because he made me so mad at him but always managed to smooth it out when I read his point of view Lottie was lovely wasn't phased by her growly bear ex husband and wore her heart on her sleeve I really enjoyed that they both desperately loved each other always had but just didn't know how to move past their shared tragedyThe third reason The Last Heir of Monterrato gets five stars from me is because when I pick up this book to read again it'll be for the third timeI always feel that when I love love love a story I don't do it justice with my words so I'll just say give this one a go if you love the angst reunion stories have if you love fantastic alpha's if you love it when the lil guys win and if you want to be whisked away to another place for a while away from the daily grind and if you love the emotions only Harleuin PresentsSexy can bring What a stunning debut Andie Brock I absolutely loved The Last Heir of Monterrato and I will be eagerly waiting for
