review 1: 3 Stars ~ When Becca read in the social column that the man who had gotten her 18 year old sister, Erica, pregnant was the groom to be in the society wedding of the year, she knew what she had to do. Attending his cousin's wedding is that last place Christos wants to be. That is until he sees the fiery redhead who had just snuck into the Cathedral. He couldn't take his eyes off her; she'd bewitched him. And when it became obvious to him that she seemed nervous and didn't fit with the invited guests, he knew she wasn't there to celebrate. Becca's heart went erratic when the Greek god grabbed her arm and escorted her out of the Cathedral; she'd never seen a man this beautiful before. The first words he spoke to her were, ‘He’s really not worth it, you know.’ And... more when he learned that there had been a pregnancy which ended in a miscarriage, he cupped her face in his hands and asked her her name, and then promptly returned to the Cathedral, and declaring, ‘This is for Becca!’ he punched his cousin in the nose. Christos insists on taking Becca home but along the way they end up in a hotel and share an incredibly passionate night. Suffering from jet-lag, Christos doesn't wake when Becca leaves in the morning, but when he does wake up he's hurt that she's left without saying goodbye, which surprises him. I was in the mood for something fun and lighthearted, and this romance from Ms. Lawrence, fit my mood very well. The whole Cathedral scene was delicious, as was Christos as he found himself unable to take his eyes off Becca. When he punched Alex for Becca's sake, he had me hooked. For some reason I'm a real sucker for love at first sight romances. The conflicts in this one are rather contrived, but Becca and Christos are such great characters that I easily overlooked any plot weaknesses. The romance in this story was truly lovely.PS ~ Disregard the book blurb, it's rather misleading on the revenge theme
review 2: Another light hearted romance from KL. I like her style. The hero here is bowled over by the rather ditzy heroine. I love this story set up. She had him in a whirl the whole book. There were a few sections of dialog that didn't entirely make sense and a few things that people said that I wished had been explained. but I overlooked that because the story was cute, rather like a screwball comedy of the 1930s. Just fun to read. less
