A Ruthless Proposition

This is not a feel good romance. It's gritty and has some depressing chapters. Dante is a thoroughly unpleasant man. He uses Cleo for sex, discards her and treats her appallingly and she doesn't start standing up to him until around the half way mark. He only just about scrapes past redeemable at the finish line in my eyes and that's because, If there's one thing this author is very good at it's making her leading men grovel.

A beautifully written book which made me laugh and cry buckets. I loved Cleo and the fact she wouldn't put up with Dante's terrible attitude. I loved Dante because he finally wasn't afraid to show his feelings for Cleo. Thank you Natasha for writing such a wonderful story.

I have never read a Natasha Anders book before, I was quite surprised that I couldn't put the book down. You will need a tissue as this story will have you sobbing.Cleo, Danta' s temporary secretary ends up sleeping with this obnoxious good looking man. Only to be shunned and treated like dirt, forced to sign an NDA or he would discredit her.Upon their return he sends her to HR out of his sight only to find out weeks later she's pregnant, then has her forcibly removed from his company and fired. Dante sets out to invade himself in her life once reality sets in .....I've given this book 5 stars as a) it's well written and easy to follow b) it's very heart warming c) it covers a very sensitive subject. I hope you enjoy this read as much as I did.

Well worth the wait - a great read. The initial chemistry between H/h was hot even though Cleo didn't like Dante and Dante got her name wrong (in bed!).SPOINLER ALERTDante was a ruthless man and when he learned of the pregnancy his first and immediate reaction was that he wanting nothing to do with the baby. This was typical of him and kept with his ruthless persona. But the gradual change in his thinking was beautiful to read as well as his response to Cleo on his change of heart.The miscarriage was totally unexpected and the anguish you felt for both Cleo and Dante was again beautifully written. I was particularly moved when Cleo was given her baby to say goodbye and she screamed for everyone to leave. Dante begging her to let him say was just so sad.

This author only came to my notice last week, and already I'm on the fifth book including the 'Unwanted' series. Her books are right up my street and this one is no exception. It is superb! Making me laugh and cry - it has all the ingredients required for a great story.I would give it ten stars if I could. I'm so glad Amazon recommended it on my Kindle page, and I know I will be reading everything this lady produces in the future. Simply wonderful!

Book

This isn't my first read by this author. Her writing is suburb. I couldn't put this book down. I loved Dante and Cleo. I felt every emotion as I willed them both not to be so stubborn; I so desparately wanted them to have their HEA. Definitely recommend this book and this author.

The story start is the 'ruthless' part - but as it develops, you really get into the characters and their growing, passionate need and love for each other. Won't say any more than that, but I have already read the story twice, if that's any indication. Am keeping the book to reread in the future.
