No. No. No.
I just did not buy the HEA with these two.
It's been eight years since Saskia, at 17, was kicked out of Alex's bed for being a virgin. Eight years later, Saskia is fighting for a position as lead editor so she can take care of her invalid father. Essentially she is coerced into doing an expose on her ex. From there to HEA...
Here we go...
Maybe I am in a bad mood, but there was no coming back from this. At one point, the h actually calls him her soul mate, but, please, it takes eight years, then being lied to and treated like a dog to realize this.

Wow - now this was a revenge story! Hero ruined the heroine's life when she was 17 - seducing her and rejecting her as well as ruining her father. (It was tit for tat - the heroine's father had ruined his family business)
Then he ruins her life again nine years later by costing her her job, taking her virginity and then rejecting her a second time, and telling her a false story about her father ruining how she felt about him before he died. (To be fair, the hero didn't know it was a false story until his sister clued him in.)
Yes, the hero was sorry. Yes, he groveled. But the heroine left him off the hook too easily. He needed to twist in the wind a good six months. So I had to knock off a star for her easy capitulation.
I am blood-thirsty enough to be glad the heroine's competition for the editor in chief position was killed off in a car going over a cliff. Well done, Trish Morey. She was an evil woman and that was a nice theatrical touch.

Wow! I was wondering why so many people gave this book 5 stars and now I know. The writing is flawless and there is a story here besides the obvious wonderful romance.
Alexander Koutoufides seduced Saskia Prentice for revenge and because of his deep hatred for what her father had done to his family. Years later Saskia is in desperate need of a promotion and the only way to get it is to take Alex's interview and write an article about him. When they meet again she realizes she is still in love with him despite the pain he caused her. But is she willing to trust him again? And will Alex betray her trust once more?
Both the hero and the heroine were fantastic three dimensional characters. The hero's sister was also a very interesting woman and a great addition to the story. Saskia and Alex are an electrical pairing. I didn’t know which one deserved more of my sympathy. I adored the heroine because she was not weak and whiney which is my least favorite type of lead female. I adored the hero because his sense of loyalty and commitment to his family is impressive. And when he called Saskia "my love" in Greek I melted every time.
The epilogue was by far the best written ending I've read in an Harlequin. Alex and Saskia let go of the awful past, they learn to forgive and forget and Alex becomes the most caring, devoted father ever.
I will definitely re-read this swoon worthy romance!!

This had a fairly common misguided revenge plot. The old gem where the Greek tycoon decides to take the virginity of a young innocent girl as payback for something her male family member supposedly did to his sister.
In this, the hero was actually decent enough to stop before going through with the sex act (the h was only 17), but the cruel way he rejected her made it almost as bad, and apparently put her off sex since she was still a virgin 8 years later (which isn't too likely, but hey HPLandia). Then he turned around and ruined her father's business and they had to move to England and try to start over with nothing.
The story picks up 8 years later when the heroine is a reporter working for a business magazine and gets an assignment to do a profile on the reclusive H. She can't turn it down because the big promotion she needs to take care of her ailing father hangs in the balance.
I really liked the h. She was a strong, intelligent, capable woman. Of course the H decides to seduce her for real this time, but old ghosts get in the way and the H once again treats the heroine like crap.
I think he realized his mistakes and felt truly guilty for them - which is not always the case. Still, for some reason, I don't think this book will be a re-read for me. I love many of these tropes, but it just added up to an average to slightly above average HP for me. *shrugs*

Can’t decide between 3.5 or 3 stars.⭐️

Me pregunto si me encuentro en un universo paralelo y soy yo la que esta equivocada, porque en serio estos protagonistas les parece normal actuar de tal manera cruel y luego volver y empezar como si nada, y vivieron felices y comieron perdices...

March 19, 2022I tried reading this because I saw some good ratings of it.
But on page 9 the H says to the h he doesn’t do virgins. Ughh. You don’t “do” a woman (or a girl). That’s something a 16–year old boy would say. Not a grown man. What an idiot.
So I skipped almost everything and I read only the last few chapters. And yeah, she is another doormat.
No rating, because I haven’t read the whole book. And I don’t want to.

Historia muy cortita y sin mucho desarrollo.
Saskia quiere un ascenso en su trabajo y la decisión final es entre ella y una compañera de trabajo muy competitiva. ¿Qué acción define el asecenso? Una última publicación, perfil, en la revista a la que pertenecen. ¿La complicación? Le exigen hacer el perfil sobre el genio de los negocios "Alexander Koutoufides" con el que desde el prólogo ya sabemos que tienen un pasado en común: él la dejó con muchas ganas de ponerla, acostadita en la cama y hasta con declaración "te amo" de por medio.
Para darle ese detalle de pobrecita mal, nuestra prota necesita el ascenso para darle un mejor lugar de residencia a su padre que se encuentra muy mal de salud.
La cuestión que ella lo busca, reviven viejas calenturas, se revelan secretos y la entrevista se va para cualquier lado menos a la revista.
HEA para ambos.
Leído de carne y hueso.

Whoa now that was a whole lot of crazy in a tiny book. The hero was a real jackass and I found it a bit unbelievable that the heroine would forgive all the crazy nonsense he made her do and how he treated her. Heroine, I liked. She wanted a promotion, she worked hard, she was a bit scared, and wanted to do what was best for her family. Hero dumps the heroine at 17, locks up his sister most of the time, makes the heroine pretend to be his fiance(almost wrecking her chances at a promotion), is totally misinformed about....pretty much everything and everyone. He is hard to give a crap about. I liked the heroine and the hero's sister! That was cute. Three deaths on one page? Uh gonna say bad idea all over. It had pieces of a good story but focused on the wrong elements through out.

No le pongo menos calificación porque la trama está buena. Sin embargo no puedo comprender por qué los hombres de este tipo de novelas son tan imbéciles, y pero aún, no entiendo cómo es que las mujeres terminan perdonando cosas tan graves. Quizás sea porque es una historia que ya tiene varios años, o quiero creer que se debe a eso porque en la actualidad no podría concebir un libro con esta clase de actitudes. Todos somos humanos, los personajes de estas historias sin dudas lo son, pero hay cosas que no se hacen. Existen límites y en esta se sobrepasan.

I did like the story ( from Saskia's point of view) but only gave it two stars because I didn't like the attitude of Alex. OK he wanted revenge for the way his father lost his company to Saskia's father. But to deliberately go out to destroy her father by going after his only child. It may not have been rape but I think he may have thought of it. He got it wrong.......what he thought happened to his sister didn't.

Predictable
I thought the storyline had promise... All misunderstandings. I thought she forgave way too quickly at the end, though it's what I expected. Adult content.

ok. so the story was simple and awesome.
i really liked all the characters. especially h and H.
And the best thing about the story and the hero was that even though he's a greek he's not a man whore unlike other greek harlequin heroes...

This lacked credibility.the hero really was a totally unpleasant, abusive jerk and I couldn’t see any way that the heroine could move from what he’d done to her. An act of such vicious cruelty that he should have been kicked out of the Mills and Boon gallery of heroes.

I thought this was a great story. It had the emotional content that we all want but it also had a story of substance behind the romance.

h suffered so much from the actions of H.
I do not believe that she love him still

a sweet story... the heroine was good and the hero messed up so many times. the H shouldn't have forgiven him so easily but then again forgiving him was as much for herself as for him.

Another emotional read that I enjoyed. I loved the ending!
