3.0 out of 5 stars
an enjoyable read,
By obsessed reader "Deb" (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bought: One Island, One Bride (Mills & Boon Modern) (Paperback)
Self-made billionaire Alexander Kosta has come to the island of Lefkis for revenge. He will see it destroyed, as it tried to destroy him...
He doesn't count on feisty pint-sized beauty Ellie Mendoras to be the thorn in his side!. She's sought refuge on the island to escape her troubled past...now she'll fight the gorgeous Greek tycoon with all her strength. But there's a dangerous smile on Alexander's lips... as far as he's concerned Ellie's a little firecracker who needs to be tamed. He'll seduce her into compliance, then buy her body and soul!

Fortunately I've already read books I like by this author.,
By Michigangirl "michigangirl" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bought: One Island, One Bride (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)
The premise is, a rich guy buys an island and the islanders don't want to confront him so they send the heroine in instead. The rich guy, our hero, realizes that the heroine is loved by the islanders, so if he strikes it up with her, then everyone will fall in line with his plans.
The heroine was raped by an old man who was never brought to justice because she never told anyone. She's lived a repressed life when it comes to relationships because he burned her face with a cigar and told her no one would ever want her again, something she believed. But that trauma is nothing when compared with the hero's. His wife was sleeping with a rich old man while they were married. The writing style switches point of view every five paragraphs. Plus the characters themselves completely switch thought process every two. The hero gets to call the heroine all sorts of names that should have set her back years in whatever progress she's made by herself after the rape, but instead she shrugs it off because "he didn't really mean it" even after thinking that she's dirty and the old man was right. This book was a joke. When the hero confronts the heroine for daring to carry pepper spray in her bag, I decided this book was hopeless. Heaven forbid a woman carry pepper spray around with her. It must mean she was raped because there is no other reason for a woman, who was living in London and now lives by herself on an island where she takes tourists out on boat rides, would ever need to carry pepper spray with her. If I hadn't already read a book I liked by this author, after reading this I would never have picked up another one by her. The writing style sucked, the rape was a convenient plot device, and the hero was clinical in all his actions. I only paid 70 cents for this book and I still feel cheated out of money. 6 of 10 people found the following review helpful:

Predictable and slow,
By A. J. Jones "janjer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bought: One Island, One Bride (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)
The book sounded promising. After reading the first few chapter it was obvious how it was going to turn out, what had happened to each of them in the past, and the way they got together was not very well done. I was very disappointed in the whole book.
