SYNOPSIS
Raff Connor, an American with more money than good taste, is determined to
find the woman of his dreams and marry her in less than three months. So he
hires India Antúnez del Diego and Caballero de Alcántara, a young girl from one
of the best families in Madrid who came to far less, so that she can polish her
manners.
India is surprised by such an assignment, but a woman like her, a widow
with two dependents, who is up to her neck in debt, does not have much choice.
India soon discovers that Raff is a giant with a hyper-developed sense of
humor, and those three months by his side will be one of the most fun he
remembers; However, not everything is laughter in his life, and he will have no
choice but to face some ghosts of the past who are bent on tormenting her.
PERSONAL ASSESSMENT
JUSTIFICATION
How has this book reached my hands? Well,
while looking for a fun, entertaining and romantic story, I found this gem. By
the title at the beginning I was not very sure of wanting to read it since it
seemed like the typical romantic story that is repeated in many novels, and I
definitely did not look for that at all. But one day I decided to buy it for
the kindle and it definitely was not a topic at all.
PLOT
The book begins when Raff and India meet
for work, in which she has three months for Raff to improve her manners,
organize a party for the anniversary of her company, decorate her house and
.... FIND HER WOMAN AND ORGANIZE A WEDDING! Yes as you read, that's how
interesting it starts. Let's see how they start having a close friendship and
help each other as much as possible. If you want to know more I recommend
reading the book because it is worth it.
CHARACTERS
Raff: He is a rich American, a giant next to the rest who
comes from a humble family and therefore all his achievements have depended on
himself. He is a funny character, but at the same time with a character that
fights for what he wants (that's why he has achieved everything he has up to
now). As we will see in the first chapter (it is not spoiler hahaha) that for
the first time in his life he will believe in love at first sight and will
fight for him, and even if he is a bit "possessive" and looks
"rough", he will get win the heart of India.
India: She is a girl who lives day by day, surviving and
leading a house by herself with Tata who helps her with Sol (her daughter). In
the past, she was a rich girl, who had everything she wanted, even married very
well with the ideal man, but ... is everything as beautiful as it seems?
Throughout this story we will see how she has become the fighter woman that
today is and as a step of wealth to survive every day.
Other characters would be Tata and Sol who
are both a complete love ... Tata inspires that tenderness we feel for a
mother, for someone who has seen us grow and who would follow us to the end of
the world. And Sol, what about that little girl? It is endearing, lovely
and every time it appears in the book just make you want to smile about how
cute it is. There would also be Lucas and Candela who both take to kill
but are India's best friends, who have some sexual tension. (Spoiler, in a
future review you will know more about these characters).
As the last notable character would be the
bad guy of the film, the cause of all the misfortunes of India.
WRITING STYLE AND ATMOSPHERE
This has been the first book I've read of
this author, believed that like other romantic novel writers would fall into
the typical story of "bad boy" who falls in love with the girl in the
story, but no. He has managed to introduce the reader to the story from the
first moment, keep you hooked to the book, as well as getting you to love each
character.
GENERAL COMMENT
Romance, mystery, sexual tension and above all, lots of laughter.
As I said in the previous section, you get hooked to the story and see how
that romance and all relationships between the characters.
In summary: I liked it more than I expected.
