Summary: Haven't I Read This Before?
Review: Back of the book: Women in uniform weren't Christos Stephanides' thing-until he saw Betsy, in her chauffer's outfit at the wheel of his hired limosine...He was determined to seduce her, and his enemies thoughtfully provided the opportunity by holding him captive on a Mditerranean island, along with Betsy.
While they waited to be rescued, Christos pursued his passion plan with increased enthusiasm...despite Betsy pointing out to him that she could well become pregnant with his child...

WHAT A MESS!!!! I am a huge Lynne Graham fan and I was thoroughly disappointed with this one. This book was a jumble of other Graham books like Prisoner of Passion, The Trophy Husband and The Expectant Bride and even even other storylines seemed to be borrowed for this book. I spent more time skimming the pages than really reading it. Now I will admit that a lot of her storylines are similar but they were still at least interesting. I really hope she does a better job next time around because this was a disgrace to the name Lynne Graham.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: the routine plot
Review: I am a great fan of Lynne Graham but this is just like her other recent books where the hero is a Latin billionaire/millionaire who gets the girl next door pregnant and they have to marry. Although this author is talented her plot lines are getting boring. Please Ms. Graham this plot was entertaining in the first few books but do think of a new story befitting your talent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic Graham
Review: The back cover says: "Women in uniform weren't Cristos Stephanides' thing-until he saw Betsy, in her chauffeur's outfit at the wheel of his hired limousine....He was determined to seduce her, and his enemies thoughtfully provided the opportunity by holding him captive on a Mediterranean island, along with Betsy. While they waited to be rescued, Cristos pursued his passion plan with increased enthusiasm... despite Betsy pointing out to him that she could well become pregnant with his child." This is part of a Harlequin Greek Tycoons miniseries and is a classic Graham story. I liked the part where Betsy waits up for Cristos to get home from his long workdays with an indoor picnic. I've read almost all of Graham's stories and even though this wasn't my top favorite it was nice and if you're an avid Graham reader you'll definately want to get this.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Pregnant Pause on Reality Without the Passion
Review: The mere title sums up the book; when I flipped through the pages, it did not develop the plot, nor the characters. Unlike other Grahams' novels, this particular one tries very hard to develop a romantic tension between the couple three quarters way through the book. Incidentally, this conflict is a classic case of misconmmunication on both their parts. If one has one hour to waste, then I will gladly recommend this book to you, and leave it up to your imagination to create the passion that this story sadly lack, even with an image of an indoor picnic scene.
