Another great read by Sherry Gloag. The story of Gina and Ben is beyond breathtaking. This story will catch your attention and won't let it go. It will keep you wondering what's going to happen next until you finish the whole book. The details are wrote so well that you won't feel as though you've missed anything. You will definitely not be wondering why Gina or Ben act or feel the way they do. The book played through my head like I was there watching them. I definitely can't wait to read more by this author.
I was given an ARC for my honest review.
ARC FOR AN HONEST REVIEW

The story of Gina and Ben is interesting. Ben is the son of an evil woman and Gina was the care giver of that same evil woman. When Ben sees Gina at the funeral he is attracted to Gina. Ben is a millionaire and Gina is a well known children's author. Gina is hoping her past was buried along with Em. Ben is the new owner of the publishing company that publishes Gina's books. When Ben's father tells him he must find a woman to marry he says his sights on Gina and uses what he knows to persuade her to go along with his plan. Will these two finally find what they are looking for in each other? This book was written very good.
A book that starts with a funeral is usually a story of murder or serious crime. But not in the case of "The Brat". An evil old woman is being buried. She was a drunken, drugged ex-whore-house owner who wrecked one main character's life with physical and mental cruelty, and the other's with abandonment. But beautiful, traumatized Gina Williams hopes that with the old lady's death, Gina's secret is buried forever. At the funeral we also meet the other main character, Ben Kouvaris, and, although neither he nor Gina have ever met, there is a common denominator - the old prostitute they're burying. Ben Kouvaris is the son the old woman gave away when he was just ten years old, and Gina is the child the old woman abused and bought from the child's mother to train as a prostitute. Ben, who she knows exists, is number one on the list of people Gina never wants to meet; her real mother who sold her is the second. Little does she know that Ben has his eye on her.

This is a story that weaves an intricate plot of two strong-willed personalities who wend their bumpy way between the UK and Greece. They both share childhood trauma yet both have been strengthened by the experience - Gina vows that no-one will ever again control her and Ben is used to having his own way. The pair meets up when Gina discovers Ben is the new owner of her publishing house. She immediately tries to move publisher because, once he discovers who she really is, she knows Ben can destroy her career. And the web becomes more entangled when Ben is determined to marry Gina, even though he believes love cannot be trusted, whilst Gina is bent on never marrying anyone. Her plans are for a solitary life with a baby conceived by IVF.

Shocking in the way it portrays abuse during childhood, this is a story of learning not only to trust and share again, but also at coming to terms with yourself. And more, it is about forgiving. When Gina realizes that Ben has pierced her battered heart and that she is a passionate woman, or when demanding, ruthless Ben discovers he possesses qualities he never knew he had, such as caring, loyalty and even loving, the plot is pure heart-wrenching. Yet watch the sparks fly when Ben suggests that their marriage will be one of convenience only. The pace thunders along and at times the book is difficult to put down because the unexpected is always around the corner.

With such rounded characters that immediately earn the reader's sympathy, there is very little to criticize in this almost flawless book but I did have a problem initially with the bewildering array of characters PA's galore, helpers, assistants, lawyers, family members, a stalker, and I had to return to the beginning more than once to check names. It also didn't help that Gina writes under the pseudonym of George Williamson, but perhaps I should just pay more attention. Gina's weeping and fainting is, at times, somewhat wearing but, given the circumstances, it's understandable she needs to fight her demons.

Ms. Gloag's writing is stylish, gentle (given the subject-matter), almost poetic at times and she manages to engage the reader's emotions with apparently little effort. On the whole this is an enjoyable non-traditional romance that needs more than a little concentration, and the unexpected ending is pure delight - it makes you want to go back to the beginning and start again. It's highly recommendable.
