Category Romance

Cass's deal with Maximos was for sex only and Maximos made it clear that he could give her nothing more. Sex, just mind-blowing sex that always seemed like they were making love. Cass craved Maximos, wanted him every moment of the day, loved him desperately, and after two years of just nights and weekends, two years of being a mistress, she dared to want...to ask for more. In reply, Maximos walked out...it's been six months, and Cass has to have closure, and what better way to get that than appearing at Maximos's sister's wedding with his most bitter enemy. After seeing Maximos and making love with him again, Cass still can't understand why he  doesn't want all she can give him.  Then he wants her to stay the weekend to talk and confront what's kept them apart...but the truth just might destroy any chance at a future together.

THE SICILIAN'S DEFIANT MISTRESS is Jane Porter at her best. The emotion is intense, almost unbearable at times, as is the sexual chemistry and tension between Cass and Maximos. It's also a page-turner as the reader hopes to find out just what keeps Maximos from giving Cass his love and accepting Cass's love in return--the answer's explosive and worth waiting for. THE SICILIAN'S DEFIANT MISTRESS will especially wow long-time Presents fans and remind them of the writing of another Presents favorite, Anne Mather. What I especially liked was that Maximos is a flawed hero, a hero who's not completely white-washed and perfect, but is a hero who has his flaws and made mistakes and suffered for them. Highly recommended!
