What I like about Lynne Graham is that she writes typical Harlequin super-alpha male jerk heroes and heroines who are honest and smart.
Alexandros grieving widow Greek banking tycoon falls in lust with a maid Katie. She ends up pregnant but doesn't contact the father until the twins are 10-month old. He demands marriage but Katie resists.
I really liked how his grandparents welcomed Katie and I thought the hero's adaptation to fatherhood was so funny and adorable! ...more

The chemistry and passion between Alesia and Sebastien was sizzling. Usually Sarah Morgan's heroes are saints and her heroines are extremely bitchy so I tend to avoid her books.
I was shocked to discover I loved the heroine, She was strong and feisty but also vulnerable and sweet. Killer combination. Sebastien was a hunk! Very protective of his wife and as a typical Greek tycoon possessive and macho. Once he realized his wife was not a gold digger but only her grandfather's victim he did everything in his power to heal her and make her happy. What a swoon-worthy hero! ...more

Ash was passionate, open and honest nothing like Devon that is. I was so happy when he stopped being a delusional idiot. ...more

So I knew I I don't actually like sheikh stories but I thought I'd read this cause it's an Abby Green book and I think she is a very talented author. So I knew I would love this and I did. Even though it's kind of a slow burn it was engaging and the chemistry between Sadiq and Samia was explosive. I especially liked the hero's final proclamation of love, it was so sweet, honest and deep I got goosebumps! ...more

The heroine was extremely feisty and independent which is a good thing but there were times I wanted to smack her! Her eagerness to give up her baby for adoption was disappointing.

Wow! The heroine Maria was fantastic. She was a sweetheart, loyal to her friends and to her mother despite the way she mistreats her. Alex is not the Wow! The heroine Maria was fantastic. She was a sweetheart, loyal to her friends and to her mother despite the way she mistreats her. Alex is not the cold bastard he appears to be when we first meet him. In fact once he realized how wrong he was about Maria he became very protective and totally enamored with her! His father was the true villain of the story and he made me furious more than once.

The hero was arrogant, sexy and brooding but clueless. He is swoon worthy but he has a damaged past that he is trying to move on from.
The heroine was so strong and feisty I wanted to high-five her. Luc marries princess Gabrielle because he thinks she is prim and proper and will never cause him scandal, but he soon discovers innocent perfect Gabrielle will turn his life upside down.
I loved Luc and Gabrielle, they were two parts of a whole, that under the craziest circumstances, met and fell for each other. Luc was exactly what Gabrielle needed and vice verse. The sexual chemistry between them is off the charts!
Good romance with lots of tension and amazing characters. ...more

She has a casual affair with the hero Ramon who happens to be a Spanish Duke and is determined to marry a suitable wife preferable a Duchess.
Lauren ends the relationship even though she knows she is pregnant and hides her pregnancy from Ramon. 18 months later the hero discovers he is now a father and proposes a loveless marriage of convenience.
Loved this book. This romance was very intense. The heroine was fierce, independent and a hotshot lawyer but she kept sabotaging her relationships with her emotional baggage. She has lots of insecurities from an unstable childhood.
Ramon was sexy and a decent man with a strong sense of duty. He embraced fatherhood with a passion and he made me laugh with his belief that his son was a 10 months old genius!
I think this is my favorite Lynne Graham story by far!!!
Ellie is an office cleaner at night a job she needs since she is is saving up to buy her own bI think this is my favorite Lynne Graham story by far!!!
Ellie is an office cleaner at night a job she needs since she is is saving up to buy her own bookstore. When Dio Alexiakis sees her hiding in his offices he thinks she is an industrial spy and takes her with him to Greece to have her under surveillance. Their attraction is crazy and their night of passion results in pregnancy. Ellie accepts to marry Dio but Helena the woman the hero was expected to marry is doing everything in her power to tear them apart and she almost succeeds.
I adored Ellie's character. A lovable underdog from the start. She kept fighting no matter what was thrown her way. And a lot came her way! She was very strong and never gave up without a fight. She is a great heroine who is unfailingly honest to herself and those around her. She has had a difficult childhood and isn't sure that she can ever truly give herself to someone, but Dio awakens feelings deep inside her that she never knew she was capable of. She made me smile and broke my heart (more than once).
Dio trusts Helena more than his own wife and I was furious he couldn't see her for the cold vicious bitch that she was. He is not cold or unfeeling just really oblivious when it comes to women and true love. I enjoyed his grovel and how he was drown in buckets of booze and self-pity when Ellie left him. The way he treated her towards the end and the things he said to her made my heart melt. He was so sweet! And his love for her was pure.
I loved the dynamic between Dio and Ellie. I really felt throughout the story that they were meant to be together. They had to earn their happily ever after but it was well worth it. I loved both characters so I was rooting for them all along!...more

I loved Xandra! She took a lot of grief from Dimitri and yet she never stopped loving him and even though she was angry for the way he treated her she still didn't give up on them. The hero is of course in love with her as well but his insecurities and obligation to his family name force him to break up with Xandra so as to marry a good Greek girl. Soon he realizes his mistake and is determined to grovel and win her back. Some previous misunderstandings and problems were still there so they still fought they made sizzling love and i loved it.
This is a great book and a keeper! Lucy Monroe did a good job of making these characters real and you could feel their emotions leaping off the page. The epilogue was fantastic! ...more
