This review is from: Greek Tycoon, Wayward Wife (Self-Made Millionaires) (Kindle Edition)

Libby and Rion have been married for five years and have been apart for that long too. Libby was the daughter of a well to do English family while Rion was a poor Greek kid from the wrong side of town. They were madly in love but through out the entire book you would want to slap them both. He said one thing and she took it the wrong way, she said anything and he took it the wrong way. This happened so much that I feel the title should have been "He said, She Thought". It was boring, aside from the misunderstandings it had no conflict. I gave it three stars because I did finish it and didn't fling my kindle across the room.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Two Week Marriage Bargain", May 18, 2010

This review is from: Greek Tycoon, Wayward Wife (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)

Sabrina Philips yet again has written a roller coaster romance with Greek Tycoon, Wayward Wife. A young love and marriage of an English beauty and a proud and determined Greek, a marriage gone wrong. And now five years latter, Libby Ashworth is back in Rion Delikaris life to ask him for a divorce.

When I said "roller coaster romance" I meant it. One immediately gets the impression that Rion is a determined alpha, one who grew up poor and worked most of his adult life to become a successful millionaire. He worked to hard to provide for his bride, worked long and hard hours in order to get them out of their slum apartment. His determination was not only based on his love for her, it was because she came from a well to do family and he wanted to be an excellent provider. However, like all new marriages, there was no communication and being Greek, he didn't want his wife to work, so she was left alone in a foreign land. It was too much for her and in the end, she fled and went back to England but not her family home because when Libby married Rion, her father disowned her.

Now five years later, Libby arrives at her husbands work place asking for a divorce. It's evident she still desires him and it's mutual. However, Rion has an agenda and he somewhat blackmails her into returning to his home Metameikos as his wife because he is running for a political office. It was obvious they both still had feelings for each other, felt the passion simmering between them. However, there were so many hurts for them both to heal, so many misunderstandings, lack of communication and assumptions.

While on Metameikos, Libby learned a lot about her husband. Surprising things surfaced and as secrets were revealed she had a new understanding as to how he grew up, why winning the election was so imporant to him but she also realized she loved him still but would he ever return that love? One just wanted to shake them both because at every turn, they assumed things about each other and they never tried to get everything out in the open. Would they get their second chance, or would Libby walk away again? There was a lot to take in with this particular love story and Sabrina Philips did a brilliant job with the passion, conflict and giving Libby and Rion their second chance.

On a personal note, I'm going to miss author Sabrina Philips as I've loved everything she's written for Mills and Boon Modern and Harlequin Presents. From her very first debut to this her last book, I've taken the journey with this author. Thanks Sabrina, for all of the hours of reading enjoyment and I wish you the very best and hope to come back to us someday.

This review is from: Greek Tycoon, Wayward Wife (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)

Libby and Rion have been married for five years and have been apart for that long too. Libby was the daughter of a upper class English family while Rion was a poor Greek kid from the wrong side of the city. They were totally in love but through out the entire book you would want to slap both of them. I wanted to like them but throughout the book if he said one thing and she took it the wrong way, she said anything and he thought she was belittling him and took it the wrong way. This happened so much, that I agree with other reviewers, the title should have been "He said, She Thought". The book bordered on monotonous, aside from the misconceptions it had no story depth. I gave it three stars because I did finish it, but if you want to read it let me know and I'll send you my copy.
