A Very Pleasant Surprise,
By
This review is from: The Greek Tycoon's Pregnant Wife (Harlequin Presents # 2685) (Mass Market Paperback)
I must say I was rather reluctant at first to read this book, not because of the story line but because of the author. I have had a lot of "hit or misses" with Anne Mather, more misses. Her storylines tend to drag to me, but this book was up pace from the first few pages and kept going along until the end. The main characters Jane and Demetri were hmmm confused to say the least, they had been married for 5 years in total and actually together for 2 and a half years. They broke up because of an alleged infidelity committed by Demetri, which he denied ever having done, of course Jane being heartbroken left him. Fast forward 2 almost 3 years later. Demetri comes back into Jane's life because he wants a divorce in order to marry and have a child with someone else. On their first meeting after being apart for so long they end up having sex, which you find out later in the book leaves Jane pregnant, but she doesn't tell him this, because of course they are in the process of divorcing; if that isn't enough Demetri's father is dying and ask that Jane come to see him in Greece before he dies.
Introducing Jane's moral dilemma, should she go to see her dying father-in-law and risk having another intimate run in with her soon to be ex-husband his new fiancée as well as the woman who she suspects he cheated on her with (who happens to be a different woman NOT the fiancée). In this mix add in if you will Jane's meddling boss, her emotionally blackmailing-meddling mother, her mother-in-law from HELL and Demetri's gay brother and his brother who's a priest and you have the perfect cocktail for an ABC network movie of the week!!!!!! It was fabulously trashy and dramatic, and somehow these two find their way back to one another through all the muck and meyer. I Loved It !!!!!

Great!,

This review is from: The Greek Tycoon's Pregnant Wife (Harlequin Presents # 2685) (Mass Market Paperback)
I agree with the other reviewer. Since she has done such a lovely job of a summary, I won't even try. It was quite a quick-paced book and really kept the action going. I loved Jane's character and her desire to stand on her own two feet. I guess my favorite part was that even through it all, they were still able to find a way to be together. (Which as the previous review alludes to would have been quite hard!)

lust NOT love,
By RomReader (TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Greek Tycoon's Pregnant Wife (Harlequin Presents # 2685) (Mass Market Paperback)
Heroine gets pregnant after having sex once with estranged husband of 5-yrs when he visits her to ask for a divorce so he can marry his new, parent-approved GF. She's not sure when to tell him about the pregnancy & agrees to visit his ailing dad in Greece. Once there, she encounters his disapproving & manipulative mother again & meets his new GF & supposedly old fling.
Why, oh why, did I torture myself & read another Mather book?!...Well, it was sitting around & I couldn't resist the temptation to see if this book was better than the last 5 Mather books I read. I was WRONG! It was even worst than the last Mather book I read. Where to begin...I didn't like Hero & heroine. They were both immature, impulsive, shallow, & irresponsible. They hurled insults at each other & did not discuss disagreements like emotionally stable adults. Hero was a mama's boy & Mather did not convince me that this changed even at the end. And what is up with Hero's cheating-excuse of "You know I'm not a monk." & heroine just accepts it with "I know.". Additionally, Hero's reason for not disclosing the truth of whether or not he impregnated another woman when they were living together was very weak. It just highlighted how screwed up their relationship was. They were both easily influenced by others. Even when they both find out how they were lied to & manipulated by close family members & friends, they just accepted it without showing any kind of plan to confront these destructive people or stay away from them. I do not foresee an HEA(happily ever after) AT ALL between these 2 lust-birds. Mather could not convince me that their relationship was based on love, even at the end when they tried to iron out their Big Misunderstanding. Read ONLY IF you're in the mood for a messed-up relationship between 2 immature people who only have sexual chemistry going for them.
