This is another delightful Kandy Shepherd read. The Greek is very sexy, angry and wanting to get his marriage back together, but he's hurt the heroine. A delightful read for romance lovers.

The tightly woven plot in Kandy Shepherd’s brand new romance is captivating. This sweet, charming and witty read makes your sigh a time or two. With beautiful writing, a fast-paced plot, genuine and engaging characters, Stranded with Her Greek Tycoon leaves you satisfied long after closing the book. The tug-o-war of emotions between Hayley and Cristos is so raw, deep and intense, you can’t get enough. I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

I bow down to you MS Shepherd you know how to write a story that will pull at the readers heartstrings, your characters are alive, emotional and so very loving, but both Cristos and Hayley have what seems like insurmountable problems to overcome but true love shows them the way with the help of a snow storm on a gorgeous Greek Island. This is one of the best second chance romances I have read, emotional, moving fabulous.
Cristos Theofanis is with his cousin Alex and his wife Dell as they renew their wedding vows on the beautiful island of Kosmimo in Greece, he is happy for them but it really makes him think of the mess that he made of his own marriage and still wonder at what went wrong to make Hayley leave him, when out of the blue like an apparition Hayley appears and his heart stops just before it starts rushing again she looks a little different than the last time her saw her two and a half years ago, but he instantly knows he still loves her and will do anything to keep her.
Hayley has been through a lot in the last couple of years one of them missing her husband Cristos, but it is now time to move on and she wants to hand the divorce papers to him personally not knowing that she is arriving at a wedding and the electrical jolt that she feels when seeing him again is huge, can she get him to sign the papers or will her heart push her in another direction back to him forever, when the weather and keeping their private life private from family thrust them together for a few days?
This story was an absolute delight to read, Cristos is an amazing hero not only in looks but in himself with all things, yes he made big mistakes in their marriage which pulled both of them from their families, and he kept secrets that should never have been kept, and Hayley didn’t speak up when she should have but that was because she felt alone and troubled. Hayley has been through so much pain thinking the worst of Cristos but these years have seen her grow stronger and now their love will flourish into a true love that ends in the most beautiful HEA and epilogue. This story ticks all of the boxes for a fabulous romance, one that I highly recommend, thank you MS Shepherd I loved this one.

STRANDED WITH THE GREEK TYCOON by Kandy Shepherd
Kandy Shepherd knows how to start off a book, WOW and I loved it.
Cristos Theofanis is attending a ceremony to renew the vows of his cousin and his wife. He is sitting there and suddenly his estranged wife sits next to him. He has not seen Hayley Clements for a couple of years and finds that he still has feelings for her.
Hayley came to the Greek Island to ask Cristos to sign the divorce papers. Little does anyone know that the weather would turn horribly and that everyone would get stuck there for a few days. Hayley helped batten down the hatches so to speak.
Cristos has left the modeling and never told his wife that he was taking risks and sort of gambling. He was not like his father in many ways but if it got out that he was doing anything similar that would make him appear to be just like his father. He was brought up by his grandparents and they never liked Hayley. Felt he should go for a Greek woman.
Now that Cristos and Hayley are stuck together on the island due to storm and snow maybe they can have a chance to speak to each other and clear up some misconceptions.
Hayley was pregnant and knew there was complications and she tried to reach Cristos but when she could not she believed that he was off somewhere with another woman. Can they finally come to understand and get through that with better communication now.
Second chances, better communication, misunderstandings and perhaps reunion of the 2

Saying I’m a big fan of Kandy Shepherd’s books would be an understatement. So I was tickled pink to find out she has a new release – and one with a beautiful cover that I couldn’t stop gazing at.
“Stranded with Her Greek Tycoon” is all about second chances – and I don’t just mean the obvious one of trying to salvage a marriage that seems unsalvageable. Hayley has already grabbed one second chance by the collar and not let it go: building a life for herself that she likes, with a purpose that’s more than being a (secret) wife. As has Cristos, who’s ditched the loathed modeling to deal with a few risky investments and become a self-made billionaire with a great reputation. Looks like both of them picked up the pieces of their past to create a wonderful present, doesn’t it? Yes, but there’s one thing missing in their lives: love. And now that fate has thrown them together again, it looks like even love will get a second chance. Awful weather and meddling relatives help make these two stubborn, wronged spouses see that a divorce is the last thing they need.
I enjoyed the chemistry between these two, and the way the setting (the Greek island Kosmimo) came alive alongside the protagonists. And what I loved even more was the topic of Hayley’s depression because many authors shy away from it. The loss of a child, the loss of identity, the loss of trust, the loss of purpose, the loss of security… There is so much loss mentioned in the story – and so much new hope, sometimes in unforeseen disguises.
If you like emotional love stories that dig beneath the surface and make the characters really strive and struggle for their second chance, then I can highly recommend this book.

Hayley Clements came to the Greek Island to ask her husband from whom she’d been separated to sign the divorce papers. Little did she know that the weather would turn bad and she won’t be able to go off after getting her papers signed.
Cristos Theofanis was glad that the storm and snow would now force his wife to stay with him which would give them a chance to speak with each other. Because after all, that was their problem. Lack of communication when they were staying together and then Hayley had fled. But what would happen when she would tell him the full reason she went away? And what would she say when she would learn all of Cristos secrets? Is there a way back for Hayley and Cristos?
STRANDED WITH HER GREEK TYCOON was an emotional romance set in a glittering Greek Island. Author Kandy Shepherd brought out the emotions in this story that would touch your heart. And she did a wonderful job of bringing Cristos and Hayley together despite all the past grief they carried. This story would enthrall a reader and keep her hooked until the very last page.

Quite a reunion story! I was instantly drawn into the drama of a wife arriving to ask for a divorce. You know from the start it's bound to churn mixed emotions and bring up the past they have barely moved forward from back into the present. The characters were both flawed in their thinking and understanding of each other, but each still holding on to the whirlwind love that they had shared. The story is heartbreaking, yet endearing. Really enjoyed it!
Cristos Theofanis has spent the last couple of years pining for what might have been with his estranged wife and wishing he had handled things better with her. He searched high and low for her when she fled their home, but has never been able to find where she settled. Imagine his surprise when she unexpectedly turns up at a family event!
Hayley Clements has spent her time away from Cristos healing her heart and finding a way to pick up the pieces after the heartbreak she suffered. She's only here to see him to ask him to sign divorce papers, and had no clue she was walking into the middle of a festivity! When poor weather leaves her stranded on an island in his company, they find the time to talk about what they went through and the misunderstandings they each took out of it all. Will they find a way to heal their rift or is this just a peaceful goodbye?

"Stranded with Her Greek Tycoon" by Kandy Shepherd is a good, quick read. Hayley shows up to set her divorce in action to Christos Theofanis and gets stuck on the Greek island of Kosmimo during a Winter storm. She wasn't looking for a second chance but her husband is still in love with her. They suffered a loss and that pulled them apart. Will this renewal of wedding vows between their friends bring them back together? They must work through things from the past in order to move onto the future.

Christos Theofanis married Hayley because he loved her. Seems that love wasn't enough to keep them together, especially after she miscarries their baby while he is unavailable. He cannot get over that she just picked up and left without a word, finding it hard to forget her or forgive himself. He searched for her but to no avail, how does someone just disappear and why would she. Two and a half years later he is shocked to see her at his cousins wedding . He finds out that she moved to Australia with no intention of trying to work things out and planned this meeting so she can finally get a divorce. So this is the end, not a chance. Ms. Shepherd puts these two in a situation where they are stuck together in a storm and all the truths come out. A great second chance romance by an author that always gives romance readers a keeper.

A second chance story executed in the best possible way.
Following are the things I believe are worth mentioning when it comes to this story:
- My pet peeves was avoided and I am forever grateful for that. I have serious issued where there is no fidelity between the people who are supposedly together and it angers me to no end. Kandy here, has understood that when the love is real, one does not even look at another whatever the situation between them and their beloved.
- The everyday instances that becomes special are presented in such a beautiful way that it made me go all smiley as I cheered these two to find the path that to Together Forever.
- The insecurities which when it comes to romance are usually part of the female character are equally distributed in this one and it is like a breath of fresh air to read about a man who is not sure. Makes him all the more human and much more relate-able.
This one reinforces the idea that however difficult the hurdles, if one has enough will and strength, everything is achievable.

Stranded with Her Greek Tycoon is a Harlequin Romance release for February 2018 and written by the talented Kandy Shepherd.
I rub my hands gleefully when I read the synopsis because it sounds just like my fave genre and I was delighted to find when I read it, a most excellent second chance story!
Cristos is on a mission to prove himself to Hayley after Mother Nature has plans for the two.
A superbly well written book which has two people who clearly, clearly love each other and their journey to happy every after. Starting off with a bang and the ride continued at speed. I absolutely loved it!
Well enjoyed and left me smiling. Loved it!
