REVIEW: His Mistress for a Week by Melanie Milburne

In His Mistress for a Week by Melanie Milburne, Ten years ago bookshop assistant Clementine Scott clashed spectacularly with architect Alistair Hawthorne. After the humiliation of that night she swore she’d never have anything to do with any man ever again, especially the arrogant Alistair!

But when Clem’s brother disappears with Alistair’s stepsister, she isn’t given a choice…she will be going with Alistair to Monte Carlo to retrieve them! Forced together for one week, they quickly realize that their enmity masks simmering, sizzling lust. They strike a deal: for one week only, all bets—and clothes—are off!

His Mistress for a Week by Melanie Milburne was a fast paced, well written romance which had me hooked from the first page.

Clem is someone who lacks self confidence and is forever helping her family.She is not perfect and has lead a difficult life but I loved that the author made me love her despite all her imperfections. She had a hidden strength in her which grows as the story progresses. Alistair is a wonderful hero because of the support he gives Clem later on when he learns about her past. I loved that he was a person who took charge,caring and so protective towards Clem.

The romance was intense with the right amount of both passion and emotion.The past which the main characters share adds a delicious layer of tension which makes the romance even more enjoyable.

Overall, His Mistress for a Week by Melanie Milburne ticks all the right boxes and definitely should not be missed this month.
