very very good !
30 Sep 2001
Format:Paperback
I didn't find THE TYCOON'S BRIDE boring. It had a good plot and a very good ending. I think what made it really good for me was the ending because there were some parts to it that was kinda boring and idiotic.
Claire Stenson met Andreas Markopoulou by accident after getting hit by a van. He decides to take care of her and her baby sister, Melanie. (Claire's mother died about two weeks after giving birth to Melanie) Andreas then propose that they get married because he wants to fulfill his grandmother's wish of holding her great-grandchild before she dies. Claire decides to go along with his plan, because after all she's benefiting from this deal to and she doesn't even have enough money to take care of herself, let alone a baby. But her agreeing to the deal is really for Melanie's sake. They travel to meet Andreas' grandmother, in Athens, where the wedding would take place and where the deception is going to take place.
During Claire's time spent in Athens, Claire learns more and more about Andreas. About the man underneath the cool exterior and the self-control.
THE TYCOON'S BRIDE, in my opinion wasn't boring because the ending balanced out the parts that were bad in the book. I deffinitely loved the ending, usually the endings to some books are kinda disappointing but this was left me happy. I totally enjoyed THE TYCOON'S BRIDE and I hope that other readers will also enjoy reading this book!

I am so glad this was not the first Michelle Reid book I'd read, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered reading any of more of her work, but I know from other books that she is a much better writer than this.
Claire is practically destitute and raising her baby sister (Melanie) on her own after the death of their mother. Andreas is an uber-wealthy, Greek tycoon who vows never to love again following the death of his wife. However, Andreas' grandmother's dying wish was to be able to hold her great grandchild. Low and behold, it turns out that Claire's mother had an affair with Andreas' brother, and Melanie was the result. Andreas steamrolls Claire into marrying him, presents Melanie to his ailing grandmother, thereby fulfilling her dying wish.
Little does Claire know that Andreas had an ulterior motive all along and that both he and her aunt (a devious, greedy woman who played the role of double agent between Andreas and Claire) had done nothing but lie to her from the beginning.
I know other reviewers have said this book is boring, and I will not agree with that. The book is not boring, but the plot is ludicrous. And while the writing style was good and the story moved along at a good pace, I found Andreas to be too harsh and unyielding, and Claire to be too gullible and silly for me to like either character much.
It's a typical Harlequin formula which I do get tired of seeing. Poverty stricken heroine needs ultra-rich, dark handsome stranger to rescue her from her predicament, but he's been burned before and cannot give his heart to the one woman who can save him from a life of loneliness. Throw in the ever-present marriage of convenience (which is never convenient) and there's nothing new here that hasn't been written a hundred time before by this publishing house.
There's nothing awful about it, but there's nothing memorable or noteworthy either.
Pass.

Not one of her best
19 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
I had looked forward for months to this title by Michelle Reid as I am an ardent fan of hers. However, it was a bit of a letdown and lacked the trademark sizzling excitement of Reid's work. Definitely not one of her best.
