Maribel was a plump virgin so sleeping with handsome Leonidas must have been a one-off. However, Leonidas is back and soon discovers that he's a father, but the only way he will claim his son is if he has Maribel as his bride!

5.0 out of 5 stars
An enjoyable emotional rollercoaster,
By
This review is from: The Greek Tycoon's Defiant Bride (Harlequin Presents # 2700) (Mass Market Paperback)
Maribel and Leonidas Pallis shared a night of passion but the following morning Maribel disappeared from Leonidas's life. He was far more hurt than he thought possible and he strove to erase her from his mind, but when he sees her again at a memorial service for her cousin he can't help but remember that night. Then someone at the service mentions that Maribel has a child and he's angry that she's been with some other man. He goes to see her, not knowing exactly what he wants from her but then he's stunned to realize that Maribel's child is his son. He's equally stunned by Maribel's passionate vow that she will never let him near her child. Leonidas is determined to use all his considerable resources to gain his rights as the father and at first Maribel fights him. She wants nothing to do with him and doesn't want her son emulating his father's careless, playboy ways. She thinks to drive him away by saying the only way that Leonidas will be allowed into their lives is if he marries her. Well, Leonidas accepts her offer and they marry. For better or worse these two tempestuous lovers need to find a compromise that will enable them to have a happily ever after.
My favorite in the Rich, Ruthless and Really Handsome series. I liked Maribel and I enjoyed her evading maneuvers. At first her insistence on cutting Leonidas out of his sons life seems cold but when we learn more about that fateful morning after they had sex it becomes more apparent that she has valid reasons in protecting herself and her son. I completely sympathize with her hurt and cheered when she brought Leonidas to his knees. Who was an arrogant jerk. When they finally do have sex as man and wife and then he rolls off her and agrees to meet his ex girlfriend at her apartment my jaw just dropped. Grrrr. Someone get me a blowtorch and a butcher's knife! That it was completely innocent doesn't matter. He frequently tells her that she doesn't own him and that their marriage will not change him. Grrrr. I definitely enjoyed reading about Maribel bringing him down a peg or three. Normally I don't like angsty books but all these out of control emotions was a fun ride. Also it's a good thing I read this book before the first one in this series because I would have really disliked Leonidas alot more. He has an obvious disdain for women in the first book and it's still not beaten out of him by his own book but Maribel soons straightens him out and makes him into a better father and a far better husband.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Another great Lynne Graham book!,
By KNVN (Austin, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Greek Tycoon's Defiant Bride (Harlequin Presents # 2700) (Mass Market Paperback)
Great addition to the Rich, the Ruthless, and the Really Handsome series. The hero is to die for gorgeous and the heroine is not so gorgeous but he finds her utterly ravishing and can't keep his hands off her. Like almost all Lynne Graham's books, I finished this one in one sitting because it is so good.

I really like strong, alpha heros and this one fit the bill. However, this book didn't quite hit the full 5 stars for me because I wasn't totally convinced that his selfish nature wasn't going to destroy things for them down the road. I really liked the heroine and thought it was great to see an educated woman in one of Lynne Graham's novels.
