3.5 stars. Okay so this wasn't the best book I ever read, and I would have loved to see a little more character development, but I cannot deny that I enjoyed reading this book. That is a huge statement coming from me since I don't usually read contemporary romance. I just loved the fact that the hero in this book was no nonsense and it took him time to fall in love with the heroine. He didn't lie about his feelings for the her and he made no excuses for who he was and he never lead the heroine o...more

I thought this story was a pleasant read. It didn't have me at the edge of my seat but it was okay, I enjoyed it. Well, most of it. I'd give it a 3.6. If there was a 3.6 to give on here.
I liked the heroine. I felt that she could've been a little stronger, emotionally. The only thing that bothered me was, why would she accept him so easily back into her & "her" children's life? Yes I wrote it, "her", not "theirs". He wanted no part in their lives, just giving her money & wanting a progre...more

H is a typical alpha greek tycoon. He never stays in relationships long, has very cynical attitude towards women and his only interest in women seems to be sexual. The h resists the H's pursuit, which only makes him more determined. However as soon as she gives in he begins to lose interest. He demands that he calls all the shots but as soon as women begin to give in to his demands in order to keep him he loses respect. The h tells him to leave before he can dump her as he intends to do. This ir...more

This one had all the elements of being a great story, but I just couldn't understand how the heroine could love such an unworthy jerk. For the hero, it was all about him and accommodating him. And I do mean accommodating him. His sexual overtures were always demeaning and his every action was focused on keeping her subservient. He dumps her not because he tires of her, but because he really wants to prove his power. The scene where she tells him she is pregnant, is a difficult scene. My heart br...more
En esta historia de la escritora Sharon Kendrick tenemos a un Xandros (griego como el titulo lo dice,otra de mis debilidades) El es gemelo idéntico que aunque en el principio no sale en la historia,me imagino que continuara ya que este libro es el primero de la Serie Magnates griegos.El por una razón en especifico se aleja de su gemelo,se convierte en arquitecto y vive entre muchos sitios en Nueva York,en Londres conoce a Rebecca una azafata de una compañía privada que utiliza Xandros para trans...more
Wasn't the best novel ever written about Greek men and their pregnant mistresses but it was definitely interesting and more so the first I've seen written that had living twins in it. I thought the hero needed a swift kick n the nuts and the heroine needed to be stronger, especially emotionally. The hero pushes her into situations and practically mows her over, yet she takes him back. Sounds silly and lacking to me.
So great to get books from the library at 1 a.m. This is a good middle of the road Harlequin. Sometimes you just need that quick candy bar read. You know what you're going to get and if the writing is well done you're satisfied. This one was a bit different in how the hero reacted to the heroine's pregnancy. Nice satisfying ordinary read.
Loved it! This story had more than a few tug-at-your-heartstrings moments a brooding hero and a heroine I adored. Rebecca was sweet and vulnerable and the perfect mother. A heroine with a heart of gold.
But she was not very strong when it came to Alexandros. She had no defences against his charm and sex appeal. I mean he left her alone and pregnant even though he knew she was carrying not one but two babies and she still found it in her heart to forgive him. I wanted him to grovel more!

I loved the story from beginning to end. Xandros is the love 'em leave 'em type but with Rebecca he has stayed longer than expected because he can't get her out of his system. Rebecca loves Xandros but when she tries to bring their relationship to the next level Xandros leaves. She finds out she is pregnant and tells him. He sends her money to in a sense pay her off but she never touches the money. He just asked jer to keep him up to date on the twins. She sends him sonogram pics and texted him...more
Quick read for when it's the last book on the shelf and you need an HP fix. Otherwise, I wouldn't go out of my way to read it.

Pleasant way to pass the time if you like HPs -- would have been 3 stars, but the ending was abrupt and unsatisfying.
I really try to like this book but I just didn't find the spark between Xandro and Rebecca.
The hero was a bit of a jerk, but I felt he came around in the end. He really lover the heroine.
Modern
Pretty good.

It wasn't the best book I've read nor the worst. It's a pleasant read but all through the book I've felt like there's some important element missing... like when the hero comes back and the heroine accepts him with not so many half hearted objections. although the story is practical it is not so good in emotional stakes...
