El Corazón Del Millonario (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
A little beach type read. Nothing deep, nothing to strain the brain. Two people meet onboard a cruise ship and the chemistry is instant. Their brief affair ends after one week when he discovers she is actually his employee. Her employment ended then, too. A bit over a year later, she returns to one of his cruise ships with some news for him. He is the father of her twin boys. She would like a bit of child support - twins are expensive. What happens next is predictable, has some cute moments. Nick Falco runs a successful cruise line and hires only the best. He had Jenna Baker as his employee one time, but when he met her doing her duties on the ship, he thought of her as a guest. They had a fling, but when Nick realized that she was an employee of the cruise lines, he fired her without any other word.Now, it's been a while, and Jenna is starting to see how stupid she had been. How could she have possibly thought that having an affair based on deception with a billionaire was a good idea? She has two twin boys as the result of that, and while she doesn't want to, the truth is that Nick, the father, must learn the truth.So Jenna rents a room on the cruise and leaves a scribbled note for Nick. While she only wants the father to know, she doesn't expect to come barging into her babies' lives...and her heart.There was absolutely zero plot in this book, and the characters were as flat as cardboard. The premise had potential, but the way it was carried out made it a complete fail. Jenna Baker is supposed to be the hardworking heroine we all sympathize with, and that's fine. But in the end, she should come out with some control over her knight in armor's heart--but here, Nick is, was, and always will be the powerful, controlling one in their relationship. And while I'm all for some sexy alpha heroes, this guy was...well, overbearing. He has the money, the looks, the attitude...why is he even with such a normal person like Jenna Baker in the first place?The twins were little robots who didn't do much except smile at their mention in the first few chapters and smile again at their father when he came to meet them. While I want to fall in love with the hero and appreciate the heroine, I also want to feel some affection for the heroine's kids. But that's a no-can-do scenario here, because there were just shadows of babies to fall in love with, not an actual living, breathing, realistic drooling machine.Not a very recommended read. It was too short to have a good plot, had zero character development, and didn't work for me as a whole.
