The Greek Tycoon's Disobedient Bride (Harlequin Presents) Review

From the back of the book:
It amazed Ophelia that Lysander Metaxis- a Greek billionaire notorious for his harem of adoring women -wanted to marry her, a humble gardener with a grumbling old manor house and debts up to her ears.
But soon she realized Lysander didn't want her- he wanted her property and her body. But marry him she would, because she had no choice if she wanted to keep what she cherished most. And disobedient she would be, because her new husband had no intention of loving her...My take:
The heroine Ophelia inherits a rundown manor upon her grandmother's death. The house is in dire need of repairs and poor Ophelia has no money. The hero, Lysander wants to buy the manor because the house belonged to his "mother's" family. Ophelia's grandmother Gladys, hated the Metaxis family with a passion. Lysander's father broke up with Ophelia's mother and married the Lysander's mother instead. This fueled Gladys's bitter hatred of the Metaxis family. In order to hit the Metaxis clan with one last blow from the grave, Gladys leaves the manor to Lysander and Ophelia if they are married for one year. If they do not, the manor goes to a distant cousin who can not sell it for five years.
At the reading of the will, Lysander sees Ophelia for the first time. He gets that "manly urge" because of Ophelia lovely face and hourglass figure. When Ophelia tells Lysander she will never marry him, he informs her that she needs his money to repair the manor. Ophelia eventually gives in with the hope that a second document her grandmother left behind will give her the whereabouts of her younger sister. At the wedding reception, Ophelia was given the second document telling her that her younger sister had been adopted. There was also a second will which was written later than the first, it fully gave the manor to Ophelia. Lysander was beyond angry and thought Ophelia knew of her grandmother's second will. Ophelia threatens to divorce Lysander since the manor is now hers but Lysander counters that he bankrupt her if she tries.
Of course, the two move in together, have a few misunderstandings but in the end get on well declare their love blah blah blah. The story between Ophelia's mother and the Metaxis is quite detailed and full of twists and turns. I must say that this book had one of the most exciting *scenes * wink wink of Lynne Graham's books. Only The Frenchman's Love-Child Brides of L'Amour (Harlequin Presents)hild had more hot *scenes*. Overall, the book was somewhat dry, maybe it is because the hero was super PC. I will give this book 4 out of 5 stars because it was a decent read and Graham did a good job with the background between the two families

The Greek Tycoon's Disobedient Bride (Harlequin Presents) Overview

Greek Tycoon, Inexperienced Mistress (Harlequin Presents) Review

You always have an idea that there will be times that you'll want to (at least I'll want to) hit him where it'll hurt but in this case... I felt more frustrated at the Heroine. (Please beware I offer examples from the book, so that you get a better idea of its contents, but I wouldn't want to give spoilers without a warning)
Her whole life she has felt inadequate because she is a curvy woman, not a waif-like creature that grace runways, or magazine covers. So I understand she had self esteem issues, but not to the point where she becomes a mistress without even knowing it. I loved her at the beginning as I saw her as a strong woman who very politely informed him that she had not forgiven his awful behavior despite the flowers or the invitation to dinner that he sent.
But that was before their affair started.Atreus molds her into the perfect weekend lover, tells her he prefers skirts on his women etc... and she falls right into it, adjusting things about her life and herself to please him. He never speaks of a relationship, never deceives her, they hook up every weekend and 18 months later it takes another persons observation to make her realize she's his mistress and not his girlfriend.
Then the next time she meets him, he makes it clear he's so careful with contraception because he does not want a child with her. That he doesn't want children until he marries and that he plans to marry a woman from his social circles.Lindy gets upset that he should have told her they were entering a dead-end affair from the beginning, but really was she thinking at all because it was very obvious that's what it was. They break up, he wants her away from him, goes as far as to evict her out of his cottage that shes leasing. She knows shes pregnant when she leaves but understandably doesn't tell him in light of their last conversation.
I don't think there was ever really any real indication that Atreus cared for her, we are jerked around emotionally. After they break up he's a stone throws away from being engaged to his perfect version of a bride,when he finds out Lindy's pregnant he informs her that she has dibs because she's pregnant (no talk about emotions) so I'm calling off the engagement and we can get married.
She holds off his proposal for a while (because she knows its a mistake but then she's right back to drowning in the adoration she feels for this man and insecurities about him wanting her. Well obviously, she never knew where she stood in his life, even after being married.
Then in the last few pages we are told Atreus loved her from the beginning and that he wanted to go back to her, that his ex-fiancee did not hold a candle to her, but it still feels like the relationship was never developed. So I never rooted for Lindy or them, I honestly just wished I could hear more about my other pairs Sergei & Alissa or even Jasim and Elinor; whose books I was able to enjoy.

Greek Tycoon, Inexperienced Mistress (Harlequin Presents) Overview

Lindy was amazed when shipping tycoon Atreus Drakos made her his mistress. "Her"--with her fuller figure and lowly lifestyle making candles and potpourri! However, Atreus seemed enchanted by her curves when he made passionate love to her at his country retreat.
But Lindy came down to earth with two bumps, first when Atreus revealed she was just his weekend mistress; his "bride" would be selected from the upper echelons of Greek society. The second bump she wouldn't be able to hide...because she was carrying Atreus's baby!--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Accidental Mistress (From Here To Paternity) (Harlequin Presents) Review

Lisa hadn't planned to fall in love. If only she hadn't accepted an invitation to be Angus Hamilton's guest and found herself in a different world, seduced by glamour, a jet-set life-style...and Angus!
She'd become an accidental mistress-and now she was accidentally pregnant! But Angus was more interested in living it up than settling down. Yet suddenly he was delivering Lisa's baby-and loving every minute! Had fatherhood turned a dedicated playboy into perfect husband material?
Slightly different, main characters are interesting and plot moves along with a nice tension. Lisa isn't really seduced by the lifestyle as much as enjoying it while it lasts. Angus is a man looking for something he just might have found, by hitting it with his car!

The Spanish Billionaire's Pregnant Wife (Harlequin Presents) Review

There was something missing and it's not the best of her books. I really like the part where she goes to get acquainted with her siblings, because that's the best part and the obvious bit that culminates the other two books. The strong family vibe that they have in this final book is what makes it worth reading. I accidentally read this book first and I had to read the other two as a result. If anything, though, the second first should be read first, then this. The first one is the weakest, but it provides foundation for the other two. If you'd rather have the full story straight off, then read all three in order. But you can give the first one a miss if you want.

The Spanish Billionaire's Pregnant Wife (Harlequin Presents) Overview


Leandro Carrera Marquez, Duque de Sandoval, was as aristocratic, proud and arrogant as his name...and darkly handsome in an impossible, breathtaking way. What would this billionaire Spanish banker want with a struggling, impoverished waitress like Molly?

But Leandro did want Molly--and he took her, accidentally making her pregnant with his child. In Leandro's traditional world, there was only one option--marry the mother of his heir. After all, none of his noble ancestors had actually married for love....

The Italian Billionaire's Pregnant Bride (Harlequin Presents) Review

Waitress by day and office cleaner by night, Kathy is so pretty she just can't be anything else but a golddigging strumpet out to capture the impossibly rich, ruthless and handsome Sergio Torrente. Even her chess playing ability is suspect because everyone knows Sergio likes to play chess. Poor Kathy gets steamrolled by the magnificently virile and sexy Sergio and the next thing she knows she's pregnant and he is none too happy. Declining his "help" she leaves Sergio and while he's partying hard on a friend's yacht, she's busy having his babies. She has complications during the end and one of her friend's finally tells him where she is and now that she's unable to fight back, Sergio is able to take control of the situation. They try to make another go at a romance, for their baby and for themselves but unfortunately Kathy's past comes back and tries to wreck their newfound happiness. It's up to Sergio to prove his love by standing up for her and finding the real villain.
Bravo to Kathy. She was pissed and she wasn't going to take it anymore. Sergio let her down for the last time and when she walked out of his life, taking his unborn child with her, bravo! It's rare to read about a heroine who was genuinely done with her hero and she seemed honestly determined to make it on her own. Regardless how difficult she made it for Sergio to find her, he could have searched a wee bit harder because it didn't seem to me that he made that much of an effort. He is a billionaire after all and I don't think it's too hard to hire a private investigator. But whatever. Also, he was definitely too stubborn in his refusal to discuss Kathy's past. Alot of unnecessary angst on this one but since that would have taken away half the book if it wasn't there, whatever. This was an alright read. He was a little too much of playboy for me but this was still a nice ending to the Rich, Ruthless and Really Handsome series.

A waitress by day and office cleaner by night, Kathy labors to forget her traumatic past. Until the evening when impossibly rich, ruthless and handsome Sergio Torrente takes her virginity.It doesn't take Sergio long to find out about Kathy's damning history--or that she's carrying his baby. He cannot love her, but he will marry her and be a father to their child!--This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

The Greek Tycoon's Pregnant Wife (Harlequin Large Print Presents) Review

Our hero & heroine, Demetri & Jane, it took them 5 years seperation before they decide to take some action, that was a little bit stretch. But, some can hold a grudge & too much pride. Demetri was too proud to admit that he loved Jane, well, maybe he'd been too spoilt by his mother, who thought he was the `golden boy'. Yet, what was Jane's excuse, why did she has such low self-esteem to readily believe that Demetri was unfaithful to her, why was she so unsure of his love for her, even if his mother didn't like her & some malicious rumors, maybe the author should explain a little more on that background.
Actually this story is quite realistic: the hero & heroine both thought they were always right & could do no wrong, not quite considerate of others, added on some busy bodies' influences (good or bad intentions), lying & lying by omission, come to think of it, we could all find some of these flaws in us, which makes this such an enjoyable read, not to mention the love scenes which are written quite beautiful, hot & sizzling too.

Five years ago, Jane's marriage to Demetri Souvakis ended. Devastated and betrayed, she left him and started a new life. Now Demetri needs an heir and demands a divorce.

How can Jane tell her soon-to-be-ex-husband that she's pregnant with his child?--This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

Constantino's Pregnant Bride: Expecting (Harlequin Presents) Review

Cassie got pregnant with Benedict's baby because she couldn't say No to him. When he finds out about the baby, he insists on a quick wedding because he wants her married to him before he has to go back to Italy, and because he wants to do the decent thing and be a father to their unborn child. But when they arrive at his home in Italy for their so-called honeymoon, he tries to keep her pregnancy secret from his family, especially his mother, who turns out to be the mother-in-law from hell. Finding out what's really going on behind the walls of the villa kept me turning the pages of this book. The sexual fireworks between Cassie and Benedict, and the terrible thing that happened because he put his family before his wife, will leave you breathless. This is a five-star story not to be missed. A great read for a cold October night.

I loved this book! It has the classic love/hate relationship. A headstrong woman who's found herself pregnant after a one night stand and she's trying to ignore the sexual attraction to the father-to-be.. and he's trying to win her trust and love the whole time! And don't forget the meddlesome sister trying to do whatever she can to throw the 2 parents-to-be together to make them fall in love! Gotta love it!
