A wedding ultimatum, hot and sexual tension that will burn the pages of this romantic story set in Greece
23 Jun 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
What a wonderful journey in finding love Theo and Skye experienced. A story so tender at the end, I couldn't stop the tears. Sky Marston has the misfortune of promising an older Greek man that she will marry him and provide heirs. She is trapped in this agreement for the mere fact that her father worked from Cyril Antonakos and siphoned funds from his company. In order to save her father from being prosecuted and paying for her mother's heart condition, Skyke goes along with this agreement in order to save her family. However, she decides to leave her family country home and go to London for a last fling before leaving for Greece.
While entering an English cocktail lounge Skye and Theo Antonakos have eye contact and the sparks fly. However, she is detained by a group of noisy men and is rescued by Theo. The sexual pull between these two is electric and it turns out they overnight together in an evening of pure passion. However, they only give their first names and Skye flees the next morning.
She flies to Greece to get ready for her wedding and on the third day Cyril's son arrives for the event. But to Skye's amazement who should the son turn out to be but Theo Antonakos and from that moment there is such tension, anger, turmoil and it's so passionate as only Kate Walker can write.
Skye's and Theo's journey is a rough one but so intense, emotional and passionate you won't be able to put this book down. Kate Walker has such an incredible way of bringing her characters to life and giving her readers hours of reading pleasure.

The wedding ultimatum!
An ageing tycoon is blackmailing Skye Marston into marriage. But she'll have one night of freedom first. One night of passion, with a man she'll never meet again - even if he's the man she could have loved... Theo Antonakos, darkly irresistible and a tycoon in his own right, isn't used to rejection. He's furious when his passionate partner slips away without a word. And he's still furious when he arrives on his father's private Greek island to meet his stepmother-to-be - only to find that they already know each other, in the most intimate way... Theo wants Skye back in his bed...as his wife!

Another wretched Harlequin
3 Aug 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Plot description: Skye is being compelled to marry her father's boss, an older Greek tycoon, because Daddy embezzled some funds. In a last ditch effort to have some fun before she's shackeled, Skye has a glorious one-night stand with Theo, who turns out to be the estranged son of the tycoon she's supposed to marry.
First of all, I dislike this particular forced-to-marry plot. I may have read one or two of these that work beautifully, but it's just plain silly that a 21st century girl would be "forced" to marry anybody to save her Daddy, or her brother, or her uncle, from the jail time they so richly deserve.
Theo showed glimpses of being a nice yummy hero, but the heroine, Skye, was hampered by her complete lack of initiative and common sense. Picking up a stranger in a bar, even if he is great sex on legs, doesn't engender my respect.
I realize that readers are supposed to suspend belief when reading Harlequin romances, but gee, I don't want the suspended belief to hit me in the face, chapter after chapter. There has to be a LITTLE reality mixed in the plot and the characters for even a light read like this to be readable, and enjoyable.
The author also has the terrible habit here of having a character speak one line of dialog, and then there's seven paragraphs of the other character's thoughts before the other character makes a verbal response. It makes a story drag terribly when its characters aren't even allowed a simple conversation without "thoughts" (and usually just the heroine's) intruding at ridiculous length.
THE ANTONAKOS MARRIAGE was just not fresh or creative enough in either the characters, the plot or its writing to hold my interest. (I should give it one star, but I did rather like the hero, Theo. Not enough to keep this book, however.)

Emotionally intense and purely delightful!
5 Aug 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
"THE ANTONAKOS MARRIAGE is a skillfully woven, fast paced and well-structured drama in a long line of winners. With unforgettable characters and a compelling plot, Theo and Skye's story stirs the heart and rocks the soul. A master storyteller, Kate Walker has the wonderful ability to set the page afire with unpredictability and pulse pounding seduction and she proves just how good she is at it with this new book. The emotional intensity is thick and the passion literally sizzles. THE ANTONAKOS MARRIAGE is sure to be a purely delightful read for the seasoned Harlequin Presents fan and a very smart, sexy novel to everyone." ~ Leena Hyat, Senior Editor, The Best Reviews
