(Manga version)Elaine wants nothing more than to inherit her father's company. Dear old dad is so chauvinist that he not only sells it off before he retires, he actually writes in a contract clause to prevent it from being resold. Elaine marries the buyer in a business deal to get the company in the divorce proceedings. Rather than spending time on building on a relationship between the pair, the vast majority of interactions are Elaine's husband demanding that she dress herself, doll-like, according to his orders, and saying that women should only concern themselves with raising children and not speaking up against male opinions. There's lots of sex, but there's nothing else that they do to connect with each other.
Elaine talks a lot about how she's independent and not like that, but never actually does anything that shows her competence, and never really stands up for herself. She does everything he tells her to, like the obedient doll he wants. She accidentally gets pregnant, ends up separating from her husband, and instantly abandons all her prior goals to whine about how all she wants is to be with him. It would be more believable if they'd ever had a conversation where they'd even seemed to like each other, or if he'd ever been supportive of her in the slightest.
Elaine doesn't come off as a real person, she has no real motivation and changes her goals and needs to serve the plot, as does her blandly chauvinist and emotionally unavailable husband. This reads more like an anti-feminist fantasy than a romance. I'm not sure if the original novel was the same way, or if it ended up that way through the interpretation of the manga artist.
Not recommended.

His Virgin Acquisition Harlequin comics eBook Maisey Yates Kanoko Yamamoto Reviews
I've read a lot of Harlequin Presents lately, and there have been some throw-aways among them. Let me assure you, this is not among that lot. This is a keeper.
Maisey Yates has a fresh, young, believable voice that kept me on the edge of my seat and the edge of my emotions. One of my biggest plot frustrations in romance novels is when an author appears to be building toward one thing and then pulls the old switcheroo. And I think I expect this in Harlequin maybe more than others because they put out such a huge number of books every year. But somehow, this book managed to surprise me while not frustrating me. That's hard to do, for those of us who have been around as romance readers for awhile.
When I read the blurb, this plot seemed completely far-fetched, but Yates manages to make it not only believable for the characters, but almost logical. I was shocked when I found myself rooting for certain plot elements, and I was honestly blown away by the depth of emotive response I had to these characters. I loved the hero and the heroine, I invested in their story, and I cared about what happened to them.
And the end was completely satisfying. I couldn't have come up with a better one if I'd tried. Loved it. Since this is Maisey Yates' first book, I think we can safely expect great things from her in the future. She delivered so solidly on her debut, I can't imagine she won't get even better from here. Whatever editor pulled her from the pile saw the genius that shone through in this book, and I look forward to seeing it many more times in the future.
The heroine begins the story as a business woman with backbone who wants her father's company. She is educated but has been blackballed from several companies when she was unjustly accused of trying to sleep her way to the top. She presents a business plan with a proposal of marriage to the Hero who has purchased her father's company. He thinks she a little crazy but he needs to change his business image from playboy to family man. Neither wants love or children or so they think even when they can't keep their hands off each other.
Pros Maisey Yates always engages the reader right away.
Cons The hero has a brother, but he is only briefly mentioned in one paragraph. The heroine has a father but he never comes into the story ever. No friends are ever mentioned. They have a huge wedding, but there's no mention of any friends or relatives at the wedding. I would have thought hero's brother would have been best man. No maid of honor or attendants are mentioned. You would think the main characters would have some friends or relatives.
The hero is really emotionally abusive even close to the end of the story and one wonders why the heroine can find anything attractive about him. His personality reminds me of some of the heroes in the early Harlequin Presents books.
With that being said, I still read the entire story to see if the idiot could redeem himself.
