Deep Blue Eyes on the Greek Isles (Romance)
1 chapters   —   updated Jul 21, 2012 03:29pm
Description: This book is for lovers! It is for sensitive, romantic souls. People who wipe a tear as they watch a beautiful sunset... Or people who under the August full moon understand that life is "true, inflamed love". Paul, a handsome young Greek business executive guides Sophie, a younger ethereal beauty of a Greek Goddess in her successful Harvard Business School application. They are interested in one another. However, so many questions arise. Will they date, as Sophie has a steady boyfriend for six years, Robert, and as Paul still has a mad crush on his former girl friend at Harvard, Wendy? Will they fall in love, will he ask her to marry him and will their marriage ever take place. This passionately romantic written novel is also definitely a suspense mystery thriller as there are so many threatening plots against their relationship. Robert, Sophie's psychotic ex-boyfriend physically assaults her. Wendy, Paul's ex girl friend stalks Paul. Sophie’s mother constantly interferes in their affair. Paul's, aristocratic and snobbish mother plots to turn the lovers apart. Alain, Paul's classmate from Harvard grossly sexually harasses Sophie. Even Alice, Sophie’s sexy-bombshell sister wants to “share” Paul. Paul is definitely interested... In this novel I have tried to show that romances are not always paths of blooming roses. I also try to show that in a love relationship, it is not only romance that unites the lovers. It is, also all the various common causes, like writing together their own love story book, their passion for poetry and philosophy that bond the two lovers’ souls into one.

Dimitri Sarantis Hi Marisette,
you too have a nice name, very French. In Greece the tradition is to name your daughter/son after the grandmother/grandfather, so I got my grand father's name. The name comes from Saint Dimitrios who was a martyr. I wish you soon have a healthy and pretty son, Dimitri. By the way the female version is Dimitra.

Have a great day,
Dimitri


Marisette Burgess Hi Dimitri,

Thanks for the friendship. Love your name. If I have another son, my husband and I have picked Demitri.

Penelope Marzec Thanks for your friendship.


message 22: by George

George The thing I see with your writing, is that you are a more advanced architect of romance fiction than I am, for starters. You have some tendency to make things a little too James Bond perfect, beyond what life really is like, but that's not to say that you are not growing or valid as a writer. Your characters are somewhat cliche, as opposed to being real, live people, with ordinary fallacies and faults, but there are a lot of people who enjoy James Bond, and a lot of people who enjoy the glamour of the Greeks. Your descriptions of the torrid love affair lost my attention, since schmaltz is not my genre, but I am well aware that I need to grow a lot more, in the sense of being able to construct believable characters and plots of fiction of my own. Mostly, I write from personal experience, rather than from a state of precalculation. I would be very interested in learning more about how to write fiction, but I could not, honestly, get thru your story the way it stands.
