OK, I'll say it. The art in this book was very creepy. The heroine looked like she was five years old.

My library has a ton of these Harlequin manga adaptations, and - look, OK, while we do this review, I want you to imagine that we are at a sleepover, we are huddled on a bed together in our pajamas, and the entire time I am shrieking "SHUT UP!!!!" and blushing and my voice keeps cracking.
The art here is, with all due respect, Very Bad in a way that I could not resist. Some of the Harlequin mangas might have Okay art, but At the Greek Tycoon's Bidding does not.
One thing that is challenging for me is that the manga is read right-to-left, as is common in Japan, but the Overdrive ereader app still clicks (and scrolls) left-to-right. My experience reading physical manga and on made-for-manga apps like Mihon is that it feels very briefly weird, like changing my glasses prescription, and then after about ten minutes I'm completely acclimated. That was not my experience with Overdrive.
Oh, right, the novel itself. Was it good? Uh, not really. (I don't blame anyone in particular for this.) Did it make sense? Definitely not. Did I have fun? Yes. I don't know if I'd recommend it, however, because the plotline, in which the janitor falls in with the Greek Tycoon and he whisks her away from her life... to be his live-in maid and tell her she absolutely may not catch feelings for him... was not exactly the fantasy I was looking for.
This was a story in which the very good, virginal young woman is very good and very virginal until the tycoon realizes he's in love with her, at which point he makes a confession and the book ends. This is a respected and storied narrative in romance fiction, but I was hoping for a different storied narrative, in which she is swept away to eat bonbons and have mind-blowing sex. You know, a little more At the Greek Tycoon's Bidding. ;) Looking at some of the reviews for the original book, it looks like it may have been a bit more coherent and convincing, but also I do feel like I got my bang-for-buck ratio.

....WHAT?
The story was great, but the ending felt rushed. It made me so mad that after all that she took him back so easily.

Story was ok
The art work was ok, but the story is not that great. It feels like it was rushed towards the end. Not sure if I really like it.
