Description

"Much as I hate to admit it, you might just be worth paying an astronomical amount of money to bed." Siena DePiero might have blue blood in her veins, but she's never coveted her family's champagne lifestyle--it's only ever brought her misery. When the family bubble bursts, they are left destitute and Siena's only tradable asset is her virginity.... Andreas Xenakis has waited years to get his revenge and he'll willingly pay to have Siena in his bed and at his mercy. But after just one night together everything Andreas once believed about poor little rich girl Siena is shattered....

Forgiven But Not Forgotten by Abby Green
This is a book about Sienna and her sister Serena. They lived with their father til he lost all their money. They left to go to a different country where Sienna got a job
to help pay for Serena's upkeep with her life. While waitressing she meets him again,

Andreas and is once again under his spell and he hires her to be his companion for a weeks
time going to charity events, etc. Hot sex scenes and she puts up a brave front. Misunderstandings finally do get put to rights.
Secrets that do come out in the long run. Lots of action and jumping in a car or plane and going somewhere on the spur of a moment but the descriptive details of the place are left out.
Expected more details. Excerpts at the end of the book for another novel.
I received this book from Harlequin in exchange for my honest review.

Nice. The title is a little silly - they've certainly not forgiven one another (or themselves). But the setup was good - both Siena and Andreas were established as solid people with strong motives for their behavior - and they carried that out throughout. I have to say that they were a little too

stubborn to feel right - when Andreas came back to her (or dragged her back to him), they might have admitted why to themselves, if not to each other. It took them quite a while to loosen up. And Siena did a great deal of the giving in first, telling him the truth about Serena and what happened at their first meeting from her point of view. Andreas is very good at holding a grudge. But he did, finally, give in. It's quite explicit and quite hot in the sex scenes, but for once I wasn't annoyed by the standard "overwhelming attraction" trope. It was only one element in the pattern binding them. And it did get me crying in a couple of the scenes, when they were making admissions to one another. Very rich. And given the other people mentioned, maybe there are more stories about this group? I'd like to read more - I really enjoy series romance. I got the book from Harlequin We Hear You, in return for a review and a survey.
