I really liked this book despite its sometimes shaky writing, The young lovers cruelly separated years ago and the H coming back and discovering he has a son and wanting to be a part of his life, Sounds familiar but I liked the surprisingly fresh treatment with the allGreek background and way of life where family and church going are integral parts of life that appeared more real than the usual playboy Greek billionaires/private islands/high society thing and also the way the son and his friend are incorporated in the story.
And for a change the h/H are both nice people with no burning resentment or desire for revenge, Their behavior towards each other makes it easy to believe how crazily and sweetly in love they must have been as teenagers even without any sex scenes in the present.
I totally loved the few reminisces from their school/church going days like when he used to sit behind her and whisper to her,
But the story is patchy and the flow slackened at times, But still it has a sweetness to it, which is undeniable, Soand a half to this book but maybe it deserves aif only for its simplicity and sweetness,
A
Harlequin romance with a sekret baby, rotten relatives and a separation, NOT AN HP. Any angst has been ripped, sucked, drained and scrubbed from the book,
You would think that after being beaten, left for dead, scarred and lied to, the H would be a little angrier, but it's almost, Honey, I'm home!
It was a sweet second chance story that was derailed by some Dick and Jane writing and a complete and total lack of angst.
I know, I know. I'm a hypocrite. It was a nice HEA novel, there was some definite grim parts to it which turned my stomach a bit, Too ”perfect” not much angst, all is forgiven, the kid talks like an adult The story was interesting, just the dialogue was too juvenile, made the characters sound as if they weren't very intelligent.
I have read better from this author,
It was all rushed and I could not feel the angst I normally look for in these tropes : second chance and secret child,
And the child isgoing onjudging on his speech nunca me voy a cansar de decir que amo estos libros curisis xD lindo de facil lectura None of this read very realistic.
Everyones reactions to mind blowing info was kinda to shrug it off, Skip. Selfmade millionaire Theo Pantheras has pulled himself up by the bootstraps, so he can have anything his heart desires, There is just one thing he wants: his longlost son,
At the time I thought she was insane, but because I adore my mother I did as she asked, "By the time Id finished sorting through all those teenage thoughts, observations and opinions, the seeds of a story had begun to form in my mind, The seed eventually became a novel and was published in, It was called The Loving Season, published under the name Rebecca Burton, Naturally, it takes place in Switzerland and France, "As soon as I finished that novel, I found myself wanting to start another novel entitled By Love Divided, a World War II romance, A few years later, Harlequin bought a novel, Blind to Love, a story that takes place in Kenya, Its been a love affair ever since, "I guess the moral of the story is, never underestimate a mothers intuition!"As Rebecca has kept writing, her talents have not gone unrecognized, She has won the National Readers' Choice Award, the Romantic Times ers Choice Award, and has been named Utah Writer of the Year, Right now, Rebecca is working her way toward herth novel for Harlequin, sitelink.
