This is the American Harlequin edition of Unworldly Secretary, Untamed Greek. Same story, different titles.
Tropes: Makeover, Pretend dating
Content warning: none
Sensuality level: didnt get to that part so cant comment altho I read over 60% of it
This was my third KL and probably my last. Two were DNFs.
On one hand, her stories feel modern, not still set in the 1980s like some other Presents authors. Characters refer to "bunny-boilers" and I dont know of many Presents authors who would have her he...more

I really enjoyed the plot and characters but slightly struggled with the pacing. The first 60% of the book takes place all in just one day and includes a lot of inner dialogue instead of interaction between the hero and heroine. The subsequent month and aftermath of their relationship are squished into the last 40%, causing the ending to feel a little rushed to me.
Characters and plot -- 4 stars
Pacing -- 3 stars

I really debated between it's okay and I liked it. Probably a 2.5. The storyline was great. I really liked the plot and the events and the supporting characters. I liked the Hero as well. Macho, alpha..yet realistic and very caring. What really turned me off was the heroine. She had absolutely no common sense, was extremely rude and often very immature. This could have been a 5+ star if the heroine were more likable and the pace was a little better. Seemed like too much time was spent on the set...more

Beauty and the Greek immediately went to the top of my HP to-read pile when I got it in the mail. I liked the idea of the admin assistant who is hopelessly in love with one brother, and who gets help from the other brother to snare her man, and falls in love with him in the process. I am not a big fan of the 'makeover/Pygmalion' theme, because I believe that people should be loved for who they are. However, I am not adverse to it being handled the way Ms. Lawrence did in this book. In the case o...more

Uneven pacing and a bit unbelievable that almost the entire story happens in 2 days, but I liked the characters and the chemistry. An enjoyable afternoon read if you're expectations are not too high. (As mentioned in other reviews, it is bothersome that the lengthy internal monologues are interspersed within thready dialogue. It creates an odd flow to the action.)
Was looking for a quick, trashy, cry one minute, hot the next kind of book and unfortunately this was not it. The writing was a little confusing...it head hopped A LOT!!
The story dragged on and was kind of boring.

Loved the trope and storyline but I did find it heavy on internal introspection.

Translating the damn thing. Make me crazy, why my ordeal must so hard ? Just, WHY ?
One word: Woww!!
Very nice. Great whenever someone gets What their heart wants over what they think they waNt.
A very sweet book. Not a lot of OTT angst just two people falling in love with each other sort of to their own surprise. There were a few misunderstandings to work out but nothing major. He fell for her pretty hard and quick. The dialog was fresh and believable. I'm really liking this author.
Did somebody said SABRINA? This storyline borrows so much from the movie Sabrina that I could not imagine the main male character as the writer describes it. It was Harrison Ford's face that kept popping in its place, instead... But it was fun to read!

She returned there when she married, and her sons were both born on Anglesey, an island off the coast. Though not isolated, Anglesey is a little off the beaten track, but lively Dublin, which Kim loves, is only a short ferry ride away. Today they live on the farm her...more
