Review: His Poor Little Rich Girl – Melanie Milburne
September 28, 2011 in M&B Modern Romance, Reviews, September 2011, UK by juliemt
Rachel McCulloch had once been the darling of the Australian social scene. Poised, elegant and breathtakingly beautiful – not to mention extremely rich – Rachel McCulloch had the world at her feet. Men constantly clamoured for her attention, but there was only man whom Rachel had been interested in: her father’s gardener, Alessandro. Alessandro was as far removed from her elite world as it was possible to get. Whilst Rachel’s father was one of the richest men in Australia who could give her anything she wanted, Alessandro was born in the gutter and was working as hard as he could to escape the fate which had condemned his mother to an early grave. Alessandro had big dreams and even bigger ambitions. However, a spoiled princess like Rachel could not possible contemplate a future with a mere gardener, so she had rejected his offer of marriage and chose someone from her same social milieu. But, little did Rachel realize that the tables would soon turn…
Things have certainly changed for Rachel in the last couple of years. Her father had gambled away the family fortune and the man she had thought she was going to be spending the rest of her life with turned out to be a crook who took her money and left her destitute. Rachel is now all alone in the world. Her high society friends had abandoned her, the luxuries which she used to take for granted are now part of a dimly remembered past and the only thing which she has got going for her is a fashion label that could restore her fortune – if only she can find a financial backer! But just when it looks like Rachel can finally get her business off the ground, she meets yet another stumbling block. However, this time she knows who to blame: Alessandro Vallini.
Alessandro is no longer a servant, but one of the richest and most powerful men in the world. The proud Italian has never forgiven Rachel for rejecting him and he’s determined to make her pay for her past foolishness. But the sparks that had sizzled years ago rekindle the moment Rachel and Alessandro clap eyes on one another. With his first love at his mercy, Alessandro offers Rachel a deal: he will give her the money for her business, if she becomes his mistress!
Caught up in a web of temptation and desire, Alessandro and Rachel are shocked when long-buried feelings resurface, but is a future even possible when there’s so much prejudice, fear and resentment standing in their way?
You can always count on Melanie Milburne to deliver a pulse-racing page turner that will keep you turning the pages late into the night and with His Poor Little Rich Girl, this talented USA Today best-selling author has once again written a fabulous romance that is impossible to put down.
Expertly blending powerful emotions with red-hot sensuality, poignant romance and nail-biting drama, His Poor Little Rich Girl is an exceptional tale of lost love, courage and redemption from one of the most accomplished writers of Mills and Boon Modern Romance!
