review 1: SYNOPSIS: If anyone here present knows of a reason why this marriage may not lawfully take place, please declare it now...Xerxes Novros is about to do more than just voice his reasons why Rose's marriage should be stopped...He's going to steal this beautiful wife-to-be and whisk her away to his private Greek island! Now the kidnapped virgin bride has a choice...or does she? Xerxes certainly knows what he wants - he's determined to give Rose the wedding night she's been denied...Jennie Lucas writes such wonderful characters in her stories that you just fall in love with. I am never disappointed with any of her books and I really liked The Virgin’s Choice.Rose is such a lovely and sweet heroine and naturally Xerxes, the beyond alpha-hero who happens to be gorgeous, more th... morean just rich, sinfully sexy and Greek too – I just had to believe he would turn out a good guy in the end.The setting…I love those Greek Islands so what a treat.The plot was a bit….no, I can’t see that ever happening!!!....but I didn't care ….I got sucked into the whole romantic interlude and as I knew….everything works out and they have a fabulous HEA.
review 2: A delightful book. After a rocky beginning between the hero, Xerxes and the heroine, Rose - he kidnapped her from her wedding after all - the H and h spent a happy time together getting to know one another. This was a sweet book with a great couple. Rose is a loving woman with a big and loving family. Xerxes is an angry, lonely man with a tragic past, like most HP heroes. Rose sees the real man in Xerxes and loves him despite his kidnapping of her. He actually saved her from a very big mistake. Xerxes sees what kind of wonderful woman Rose is and doesn't believe him worthy of her. After he discovers Rose had no knowledge that the man she married was already married, he never once thought badly of her. I loved this.It was a very sweet story and very refreshing after reading Sensible Housekeeper, Scandalously Pregnant.The ending was wonderful. Jennie Lucas always has an amazing way of showing readers the future happiness that her H and h will find with one another. Excellent read!ETA: The writing was a bit flowerly in this one as with other books of hers but it didn't take away from the story too much. less
