We've all dated men like this hero!
13 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
Ellie, a petite platinum blond, mistakenly enters her boss's office suite on her cleaning rounds. Dio, her sexy Greek boss, thinks she's spying on his plans for a huge corporate takeover. To ensure that she doesn't reveal those plans he whisks her away to Greece with him, where he is headed to attend his father's funeral. There Ellie meets the gorgeous Helena, who has always expected to marry Dio by family arrangement. Dio and Ellie intrigue each other, though, and have a passionate interlude. When Dio finds out that his business plans have been compromised he accuses Ellie and sends her packing, as a lover and an employee. Ellie's innocence is soon revealed and Dio rehires her while trying to convince her to become his mistress. Ellie says no to intimacy but yes to the job. She then realizes that she's pregnant and in love and accepts a marriage proposal from Dio. Helena appears and offers to pay her to have an abortion, thinking Dio will come back to her if there's no baby involved. Ellie angrily rushes to let Dio know how malicious Helena is, only to find that Helena has gotten to him first and told him awful lies about her, which is just the first attempt to separate them. Dio chooses to believe Helena, and won't allow Ellie to say anything bad about her. Ellie ends the engagement and quits her job, only to have the other plans she had for her life fall through. Rudderless, she ends up marrying Dio. A sordid tabloid piece about them that reveals ugly secrets and Dio's rock solid faith in Helena rather than Ellie both strain the marriage. Ellie decides enough is enough and walks out. Will Dio find out the truth about Helena and learn to trust Ellie? Can Ellie forgive him and come back? Did Dio marry out of love or duty? What secrets fueling Ellie's behavior did she keep from Dio? Some of the answers are as surprisingly complicated as real life.

The Expectant Bride
16 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
Ellie is very vulnerable and yet, very straightforward. She is not afraid to speak her mind. She falls head over heels in love with the handsome, Greek Dio without thinking. When he whisks her away to his Island in Greece, not only does he seduce her, she seduces him. Their union is shortlived when a jealous woman comes between them and Ellie becomes pregnant. Dio refuses to believe Ellie and defends the other woman. Has Ellie made a mistake in falling in love with Dio and has he made a mistake in not believing her? If I were to cast the book, Ellie would be played by Angela Dotchin of Jack Of All Trades and Dio would be played by Maurice Benard of General Hospital. What I like about Ellie-she's tough and vulnerable. What I fault Ellie for-she doesn't think sometimes and jumps too quickly into things. What I like about Dio-he's a strong character, very sexy and powerful. What I fault Dio for-he's too stubborn and set in his ways. He has a big ego and he can be hurtful emotionally. Would I want to be with Dio-God yes! :) Favorite scene with Ellie-she is discovered by Dio behind his office door and she tries unsuccessfully to explain why she was there.

Another great Lynne Graham book!
3 May 2000
Format:Paperback
This book is so good I finished it in one sitting. The hero is every woman's fantasy -- a stunningly gorgeous Greek billionaire. The heroine is a beautiful petite blonde whose insecurities make her very appealing and likable. The chemistry between them SIZZLES! He can't keep his hands off her! This book has everything that I look for in a romance book -- emotionally intense story, memorable hero and heroine, passionate love scenes, and beautiful romantic setting.
