Photographer Carlie Bowers will be staying on Zakynthos this summer to photograph luxury villas owned by her friend’s in-laws. She could definitely use a vacation too, but she doesn’t like the idea of being chaperoned around the island by Alex Marinos. She’d already met the handsome bachelor, and they’d parted on a sour note, thanks to his forward manner. Any woman would be drawn to his dark Greek looks and blatant virility, but she had no interest in becoming one of his mistresses. She was ready to find the right man and settle down, so Alex had better keep his hands to himself!

Alex Marinos is content with his carefree, bachelor lifestyle and ignores his family’s insistence that he settle down with a wife. When he has to play host to his sister-in-law’s best friend, he’s forced to be the perfect gentleman—and keep his hands off her. Something that goes against his nature where beautiful women are concerned.

Sometimes the one you need isn’t the one you want, until you realize it a bit late. Then again, there are those who don’t know they want it all until they can’t have it. Intrigued? Then you need to read The Greek Bachelor.

Ms. Jade writes an interesting novella. You are pulled into the Greek world with her sumptuous descriptions. I felt like I was really there on the property with the characters.

Now, there are some stories that have great backdrops and bland characters. Increase buy cialis in canada in blood enhances the chances of having an ED and vice versa. As the flow of blood is stopped devensec.com levitra generic cialis from flowing out, the arteries in the penis enlarge, resulting in an erection. ake Kamagra by mouth with a glass of water. This problem arises super cheap viagra devensec.com from the habit of excessive smoking. So devensec.com sildenafil sale this medicine only facilitates a natural procedure. This book isn’t one of them. I liked Alex’s forthright approach to gaining Carlie’s trust, especially after he does a typical man thing – he sticks his foot in his mouth in an attempt to woo her. He showed his human side and his vulnerability. Carlie, though she’s been through heartache, is still an independent and strong woman. I liked that she was a match for Alex. I would’ve liked to see her admit her feelings, even if she’d be rebuked. You can’t fault someone for honesty, but I understood and respected her way of handling Alex.

The tension in this story helps move it along. You want to see the characters make a go of the blossoming relationship and you want to see them work out their issues. I liked the slip ups and the ‘lost in the throes of passion’ moment that kept the story grounded. Well done.

If you want a passionate story set in Greece, with a sexy man and a fun, fearless female, then you need to read The Greek Bachelor. I give this novella 4 cherries.
