review 1: Yet another Hookup turned romance HP. I wanted to like What the Greek Couldn't Resist but never felt this story was compelling so I gave up at the half point. What I liked- the hero was wealthy; the heroine was a virgin widow. Haven't come across that in ages! The drama was angsty.What I didn't like- the hero kept apologizing everytime he said something mean to the heroine. It was like the author didn't want him to be too bad. It failed to impress me. It made the hero into a bland character who lacked the balls to put the heroine through the emotional ringer. On the flip side, the heroine had no problem challenging the hero all the freaking time. That got annoying fast. A major reason I gave up attempting to finish.I wanted to like What the Greek Couldn't Resist unfortunat... moreely it wasn't compelling enough to keep my attention.
review 2: What does the color red signify to you? For me,it evokes the image of danger,caution, and excitement.Who does not love the color red.I love a good red lipstick,my favorite lip color as a matter of fact..it says "kiss me" to my husband ,so I wear it all the time!Well the color red has meaning to the hero and heroine in this book.For Ari,the color red,is the heroine's hair color,and combined with the red of the heroine's lipstick,it was an attraction that was off the chart hot.The red lipstick was in my view of the heroine needing to put on a brave front to the outside world,it gave a measure of confidence that she desperately needed.Ari and Perla meet on a night when they each needed oblivion.He from the memories and anniversary of his wife and unborn child's death and she from a sham marriage to a recently dead husband.They knew nothing of each others past when they gave in to a sizzling sexual attraction.Red again plays a part in their chemistry for they had sex for the first time on a red couch.These two burned up the couch and the floor.This was a ONS that they thought never to be repeated.Little did they know that 3 days later,they would meet up again at the funeral of her husband.Ari could not believe his eyes,the woman he was searching for is the wife of a past employee who is now dead.Stunned ,he lashes out and leaves thinking to not see her again.They meet when she goes to his place of business to enquire about a life insurance policy .She needs the money for her in laws,otherwise the bank will foreclose on their home. Ari informs her the policy is null.As far as attraction goes,it it still there and hotter than ever.They make love and Ari attempts to give her money ,she lashes out at him,how dare he offer her money.He offers her a job with his company instead,she accepts.Wow,this book had me hooked right from the beginning.Their chemistry was sizzling .When the hero asks the heroine what her fav sexual position was and she said "doggy style" I was like ,whatttt! in a harley that term is used.( btw,the heroine was a virgin,that was the only position she could have thought about),there was also the term "junk" used by the heroine to describe the hero's penis.Never heard that term in a harley before too! All aside ,I enjoyed this book,it had the angsty elements that I love.The hero was alpha ,which again I love,he was also a tortured hero.He had "daddy" issues and he never came to grips with his deceased wife's death.Normally,that particular issuue would have been a major deal breaker with me.But the hero showed me by his actions and words that the heroine is his soul.He told the heroine that if people told her his first marriage was the love story of the century,then his lovestory with her would be the lovestory of the milenium,awwwww.My gripe is I never knew the ages of the H/h,the hero had grey hair at the sides and how long ago did his wife died as the hero was celibate since wife#1 died.The heroine broke his spell.I give this a very strong 4.5 stars and would rec to my hp loving friends. less
