A Sizzling Seduction and a Powerful Love!, 5 Mar 2005
By B. Deese - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Greek's Seven-Day Seduction (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)
Charlotte has come to the Greek island of Iskos to recuperate from an emotionally devastating divorce. She hopes the magic of the island will heal her heart and bring back her love of writing. Before she left home, her editor told her to get a good story on a hot Greek man.
One evening Charlotte goes out for a swim, and she sees a fisherman out in the water. She imagines him as a strong, mystical fisherman, and then she gets the idea for her story. She will write about "her" fisherman and the ideal life he represents on the island of Iskos. This starts a life-changing chain of events for Charlotte and the fisherman.
The following morning Charlotte goes back out for a swim. Again, she is dreaming about the man from the previous evening when he suddenly shows up on the shore. Now, she sees how her imagination didn't do justice to the very sexy, very virile islander. She definitely has a lot of ideas now for the perfect article.
Soon Charlotte learns that the fisherman is Iannis Kiriakos, and their introduction leads to an explosive love affair. Iannis has his suspicions about who Charlotte really is, and he's hiding his own secrets. What will happen when Iannis discovers Charlotte is writing a magazine article about him and his life as a fisherman? Can these two have a happy ending when both are concealing secrets?
Iannis and Charlotte are both headstrong and passionate characters, and they make for one amazing love story. I really loved how Charlotte stood behind her reasons for what she was doing, and she's proves to Iannis just how much their relationship means to her. Iannis is like a super sexy Greek God, and he really heats up the pages of this novel.
It's a definite talent when an author can pull a reader into their characters' world right from page one, and that's exactly what Susan Stephens does in this tantalizing love story. Ms. Stephens keeps her readers glued to THE GREEK'S SEVEN-DAY SEDUCTION with a picture perfect setting, an unforgettable love affair, and emotionally satisfying characters. I know this book is bound to find it's way onto readers' keeper shelves everywhere. So, pick up a copy of THE GREEK'S SEVEN-DAY SEDUCTION from Harlequin Presents, coming in March 2005

Best Harlequin I've read in ages!, 14 Sep 2007
By Dream Emporium Dot-Com "ZenCyn" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Greek's Seven-Day Seduction (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)
The plot-line is given by other reviewers, so I won't repeat what they wrote, since they effectively cover the main story-line.
What I will say is, this is truly the best Harlequin I have read in a long, long time. The writing is *very* passionate, and the story gripped my interest from the very beginning, as another reviewer wrote. At times, I felt like I was right there (lol, if only!), and felt some of the emotions the characters would feel. I haven't experienced writing this good since early Lynne Graham titles.
I'm not sure why there was a negative review? That didn't make sense to me, because this is a very good book. I suppose they had their reasons, and to each their own; but I do hope others will not pass this book by. It is a real gem, full of passion, passion...oh, and did I mention passion? Whoo!

Choppy & disconnected at best, 4 Nov 2011
By Christine - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Greek's Seven-Day Seduction (Greek Tycoons) (Kindle Edition)
This is my first SS book and I have to admit she has potential. BUT this is books is very choppy and at times the transitions from one scene to another is abrupt. I was taken aback many times to realize that it was another scene or time or place, etc. It's almost as if several people wrote different parts of the story and decided to just mash it in together. Ok, so that having been said, the heroine is likable but a bit too horny and desperate. The hero could have been much better if his thoughts weren't so disconnected w/o making any sense. Basically, the book is a major he loves me, he loves me not. If you have nothing to do and can read this for free, go ahead but I wouldnt waste any time or money on it.
