A summer on a Greek island is just what grad student Cara Sokol needs to jump-start her nonexistent sex life. Too bad she's sworn off Greek men forever, because she can't take her eyes off Yannis Petrides' six-pack abs and sultry eyes.

But Cara's not going to get away that easily. In fact, some of Yannis's daydreams would make even Aphrodite blush. So if his fiery redhead wants an X-rated fling, he won't deny it--even if she is hiding something more than her burning desire....

5.0 out of 5 stars My Sexy Greek Summer by Marie Donovan, June 4, 2009

Cara Sokol would never have returned to Greece if it hadn't been to check on a good friend after a nasty fall. Now that Cara is here on Aphrodisias Island, Athena has her promising to stay on through the summer. Little does Cara know that her old friend has more in mind for her than just helping out while the older woman recuperates from her broken hip. The Goddess, Aphrodite, is known for "taking pity on losers in the game of love" and Athena is hopeful that by coaxing her young friend to the island where the Greek Goddess first appeared that Cara's luck might just change.

Yannis Petrides can't get enough of the sexy red-headed American. Where at first Cara was aloof and distant, she quickly turned into a passionate lover that he can't get enough of; sSo much so that his daydreams would easily make even Aphrodite blush. All too soon, their X-rated summer fling is turning into something far more than he bargained for. Things are getting pretty serious for the couple, but will Yannis be able to forgive Cara when he finds out the secrets she's been hiding?

I really enjoyed this story. My Sexy Greek Summer was well paced and easy to read. The story gave me a small taste of the Greek islands, but left me wanting a whole lot more. Marie Donovan did an amazing job of making me want more of this part of the country. I'm now adding the Greek Islands to my list of places I HAVE to visit. The chemistry between Cara and Yannis is sizzling. I literally wanted to be in that water with Yannis during their moonlight swim and then later in the cabana. Oh, I can't forget about the waterfall!!! The word HOT does not do these scenes justice. The story was fun, fast and extremely sexy. My Sexy Greek Summer definitely lived up to its name!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cheesy description for a pretty good book, May 26, 2009

I bought this book by accident but I'm glad I did. When I read the info on it I was not impressed, as usual whoever writes the descriptions for romance novels really should give up the cheesy one liners and cliche`s and just tell what the book is about. However I was pleasently surprised by both the content and sexuality of this book. The story line was good and the charaters likeable. Overall I would highly recommend this book.

I have most of Marie Donovan's books and sometimes her books are hit and miss. This one was a total miss for me. There was no chemistry between the two main characters and I generally was not thrilled with the overtly Greek alpha male and subservient wife/girlfriend theme running throughout the book.
