The Power of the Legendary Greek Reviews
-
This one really didn't work for me. The story tries to combine elements from Catherine George's previous works and a typical Mills and Boon - unfortunately, it fails to do both. The hero was arrogant, protective and confused as he shuffled between both. He wanted revenge, but he wasn't obsessed with it, he's supposed to be attractive but it doesn't translate into confidence or charm. The heroine...I don't know what to write, she made no impact. She was as distinctive as a weak, blurry cloud. Add in an accident, a kidnapping, an assault, family angst and I still had to force myself through this one. This was a confused, lukewarm romance and I'll be avoiding the contemporary titles in the backlist for some time.
I just realized I forgot their names....Help -
Poor English heroine. Her vacation in Greece, instead of relaxing her, inflicts her with a severe sunburn, a no less severe concussion, a sprained ankle, a kidnap, and copious amounts of insults, including the Greek "hero"'s gut reaction to doubt the paternity of the baby they have conceived on their holiday fling. If this is the power of the legendary Greek, I'd rather do with an ordinary mortal, thank you :~{

First of all what a stupid title for a book they really seem to be scraping the barrel these days for book titles.
Our H was nothing we haven't seen before 100 times and so was our h. Grumpy arrogant Greek male - get off my land type and wispy washy I had no idea let me have an accident female type throw in a kidnap plot, accidental pregnancy, it's not my baby argument then a bit of a grovel and its HEA time. Nothing new in here for me sorry -
Pretty good right up to the end when the woman randomly insisted the man attempt to make nice with his repulsive grandfather. I can't stand that. Some people don't deserve another chance, and that dude didn't.

Great
I found this a really good book. Isobel is a great character. She wants a quiet holiday after a very stressful few months but what she gets is anything but though she does meet a drop dead gorgeous Greek who saves her life twice. -
An okay read. The romance was only tepid. It was the first book I've read from this author. Although I usually prefer my Greek Heroes written a bit more aggressive, Lukas did have charisma.

Isobel James, the last single girl (or so it seems!), can't believe she's come to Greece on her own, but she had to escape the wedding fever that's gripped her best friends.
When reclusive tycoon Lukas Andreadis finds Isobel washed up on his private beach, he thinks she's another journalist acting the "damsel in distress." He whisks her to his villa, where interrogation leads to seduction.
Now Isobel's struck down by something much more dangerous than wedding fever--a powerful infatuation with the legendary Greek.... -
I love the greek trope even though the romances are rarely good in it. I don't even have a clue as to why on earth there is a greek trope regarding tycoons (name one greek tycoon you know.), and in this economy, it's even more ackward to read some romance involving some rich and handsome greek tycoon.
This one, I won't finish it. By the time I reached 36% of the ebook, I had head/desked 3 time already. Never a good sign. -
I love this book
